FAQ about custom website development

Timelines & process

How long does custom website development take?

It depends on complexity. Landing pages take 2–4 weeks, corporate sites 4–6 weeks, services or stores start from 6 weeks.

How does work on a website begin?

We start with a short call or brief: the site goal, audience, services or products, required integrations, and preferred timeline. Then we suggest the structure and the next steps.

What should be prepared before we start?

It is enough to describe the business and task, share websites you like, and send any available materials. If some content is not ready yet, we will help define what to prepare step by step.

What stages does a project go through?

Usually the process includes a brief and structure, key-screen design, development, content entry, device testing, launch, and handover. For more complex projects, we detail the stages separately.

Can the scope change during the project?

Yes. If new pages, modules, or integrations appear, we first assess their impact on timeline and budget, agree the changes, and then add them to the plan.

Pricing

How is the website price calculated?

Price depends on pages, functionality, integrations, and design complexity. We provide an estimate after the brief.

Is the price fixed before work starts?

After agreeing on the structure and scope, we fix the estimate for that agreed scope. New features or extra pages are estimated separately before that work starts.

What is included in the estimate?

The estimate separately describes pages, design, development, admin panel, basic SEO, integrations, testing, launch, and the number of revisions. This makes the scope and result clear.

Can a project be paid for in stages?

Yes, we agree the payment format before the start. It is usually tied to clear stages: kickoff, design or structure, development, and final launch.

What affects the budget most?

The budget is most affected by the number of unique pages, custom logic, user accounts, catalogues, payments, integrations, multilingual setup, and content complexity.

SEO

Is SEO optimization included?

Yes. We build SEO structure, optimize speed, semantics, and meta tags. Ongoing promotion is a separate service.

What exactly is included in basic SEO preparation?

We set up a logical page structure, clear URLs, meta tags, headings, technical indexing, and speed optimization. It is a foundation for further promotion, not a promise of instant rankings.

When will the website appear in Google?

After launch, the site needs to be indexed, and the timing depends on Google and the number of pages. We prepare the technical foundation so search engines can understand which pages to show.

Can SEO continue after launch?

Yes. After launch, you can develop content, service pages, articles, internal linking, and advertising campaigns. We build the site so these changes are convenient to make.

Does website speed affect SEO and advertising?

Yes. Fast loading improves user experience, supports technical page quality, and reduces traffic loss from ads, especially on mobile devices.

Technology

What technologies do you use?

Main stack: Laravel, Vue islands, Filament, Tailwind. It ensures speed, stability, and scalability.

Is Laravel suitable for small websites?

Yes. Laravel provides a fast start and secure architecture even for small sites.

When do you choose WordPress and when Laravel?

WordPress works well for sites where you need to edit pages, news, services, and media yourself. We choose Laravel for more complex logic: accounts, roles, booking, integrations, or custom processes.

Will the website work quickly on a phone?

Yes, responsiveness and speed are checked on phones, tablets, and computers. We optimize images, page structure, and technical parts so the site stays convenient on mobile.

Can the website be expanded after launch?

Yes. We build a clear, maintainable foundation, so later you can add pages, modules, integrations, a catalogue, or new scenarios without rebuilding the whole site.

Content

Can we edit content ourselves?

Yes, the admin panel lets you update text, images, blocks, and SEO settings.

Do you help with structure and copy?

Yes. First we define the page logic and block order, then explain what content is needed for each screen. When needed, we help shape copy for services and the site goal.

What can be changed through the admin panel?

Depending on the project, this can include text, photos, contacts, buttons, services, products, news, FAQs, SEO fields, and other blocks. During planning we define what the owner should be able to manage.

Can you populate the website before launch?

Yes, we can add the agreed initial content: key pages, services, products, photos, contacts, or FAQs. The amount of content entry is fixed in the work plan.

Do you support multilingual websites?

Yes, when needed we build a localized structure of pages, navigation, and SEO data for each language. The admin panel can manage content separately for language versions.

Integrations

Do you integrate CRM or payments?

Yes, we integrate forms, CRM, payments, analytics, and other services.

Which CRM systems and services can be connected?

We connect services with a convenient API or ready integration: CRM, messengers, analytics, forms, payments, booking, and other business tools. Before starting, we check the capabilities of the specific service.

Can online payments be connected?

Yes, an online store or service can use payments when the selected provider offers a suitable integration method. We also agree the checkout flow and payment statuses.

Where do form submissions go?

Form submissions can go to email, a CRM, a messenger, or several channels at once. We choose the route so the team sees new enquiries quickly and does not lose leads.

Can maps, booking, or delivery be integrated?

Yes, we add services required by the user flow: maps and contacts, online booking, delivery, calendar, catalogue, or other external systems when their terms allow integration.

Support

What support is available after launch?

We can support the site, update content, add features, and ensure stability.

What do you check before launch?

We check key pages, forms, links, responsiveness, basic SEO settings, speed, and key user scenarios. This helps find obvious issues before publication.

Can you help with the first changes after launch?

Yes. After launch, we can help with the first updates, check form operation, and explain how to use the admin panel. The support format is agreed around the task.

Can ongoing website development be ordered?

Yes, after launch you can add new pages, sections, integrations, speed improvements, or separate features. For each change, we assess the scope and agree the priority.

Do you hand over access and explain how the website works?

Yes. We hand over access to the agreed systems and explain where to update key information: text, photos, contacts, services, or other available blocks.

Analytics

Do you help with analytics?

Yes, we set up GA4, events, goals, and basic dashboards.

Which events can be tracked?

We configure business-relevant actions: form submissions, clicks on phone and messenger links, contact transitions, purchases, bookings, or other goals depending on the site.

Do you connect advertising pixels?

Yes, we connect the required advertising tags and events when access and a measurement scenario are agreed. This helps advertising optimize for real enquiries or purchases.

Will I get access to analytics?

Yes, access is provided to the owner or agreed team. We also explain which basic metrics are worth watching after launch.

Can advertising effectiveness be measured?

Yes, when a goal is defined before launch: an enquiry, call, purchase, booking, or other action. We then configure the relevant events and pass them to analytics or advertising systems.

Process

Can we order only a consultation?

Yes, we can audit, suggest architecture, and propose a plan.

How do I know which type of website my business needs?

We start from the goal. A landing page often suits ads and one service; a corporate site presents a company; a store suits sales; and an online service suits more complex scenarios.

Will we stay in touch during the project?

Yes, we agree on a convenient communication channel and key points when your feedback is needed: structure, design, materials, and pre-launch review.

How do design and website revisions work?

The number of revisions and approval points are fixed in the scope. We collect feedback for each stage, make agreed changes, and move forward without scattered revisions.

Can I order an audit or consultation without full development?

Yes. We can review the current site and suggest priorities, architecture, UX, SEO foundations, or a development plan. The consultation format is defined after a short task description.
