Common Website Questions
Below are some of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to websites.
How Much Does it Cost To Design a Website?
The cost of a custom website design varies from company to company. Established companies may need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to generate more revenue while small business owners need nothing more than an affordable website.
The price will depend on the complexity and number of pages on your web design. For example, a simple brochure-style website might only have 1-3 pages and can take less time and resources to complete than an eCommerce site with multiple product categories that has more complex functionality.
We offer our discovery session as a standalone service to help you determine the scope of your website project.It’s a cost-effective, minimal process that can be essential to outlining the details of your website design and marketing strategy.
How Much Control Do I Have Of My Website?
When we finish your website project, we will train you on how to operate it so you can make updates whenever you like. Our training session will be recorded so you can always refer back to the video if you forget anything.
We will always be a phone call or email away if you do not feel comfortable making updates to your website. Charges may vary depending on the scope of the request, but typically we will not charge for minor content updates that need to be made.
Do You Only Design Websites?
We’re more than just a web design agency.
When it’s time to look at more marketing, we specialize in other specific services that tie into web design such as:
What Industries Do You Design Websites For?
Key Web’s 15+ years of experience in designing websites has spread across various industries.
From service-based businesses to product and SAAS companies, Key Web’s discovery process helps transfer knowledge of your business to our team of web designers, developers and copywriters to build a truly personalized website that can grow your business; regardless of industry.
How Long Does It Take To Design a Website?
The time to complete a website’s design depends on a few factors.
Client responsiveness, functions & features, page count and content acquisition are just some of the larger factors that come into consideration when determining the length of time it takes to design your custom website.
The biggest factor that affects the website project timeline is content creation and gathering.
It can be overwhelming to handle the responsibility of writing all of the pages and grabbing the photos your website needs while you run your business. That’s why we offer full content creation services to take the burden of extra homework off your plate.
We’ll focus on creating conversion-focused content so your website can continue to be built without any content management delays.
How Can I Get My Website On Google?
Your website includes initial Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to help customers find your business. This means we optimize the content and site to be search-engine friendly based on industry research. This is a great first step in generating a solid foundation for your online presence.
When it comes to Initial SEO, it’s not a guarantee of page 1 rankings on Google Search. But it helps increase your chances of better organic rankings as opposed to a website design without any SEO strategy applied.
For that reason, it is recommended that you look into an SEO maintenance plan that can take your website to the next level against your competitors. Visit our SEO page to learn more about these plans.
Can You Write Content For My Website?
Absolutely!
Websites are only as good as the content that is on it. Your customers will read about your company to see if you are a good fit for them.
Our copywriters use traditional conversion-centered practices to promote your services, the features they offer, the benefits of those features and why you’re the right company for the job.
