§06Common questionsSheet W-07

Web design — common questions.

Q.01How much does a website cost?

We offer transparent, affordable packages for small and mid-sized businesses — without the agency markup. Pricing depends on scope, number of pages and features. Ask for a free quote and we’ll give you a clear, honest number upfront. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices.

Q.02How long does it take to build my website?

Most business websites are completed in 3–5 weeks. Google Ads landing pages can be ready in 7–10 days. We set clear milestones at kickoff so you always know where we are.

Q.03Will my new website rank on Google?

It’s built to — SEO is in the foundation, not bolted on. From metadata and schema markup to heading structure and site speed, every technical SEO requirement is addressed before launch.

Q.04Is ADA accessibility compliance really necessary?

Accessibility helps people use your website. We review practical barriers with automated and manual testing and plan remediation. No widget or one-time test guarantees legal compliance or a particular search ranking.

Q.05Do you offer redesigns for existing sites?

Yes — carefully. We audit your existing site, identify what’s working for SEO, and preserve that equity while rebuilding what’s holding you back. You don’t lose rankings in the process.

Q.06What platform do you build on?

Whatever is right for your business — Squarespace, WordPress, Shopify or custom HTML. We’ll recommend the best fit once we understand your requirements.

Clarity before complexity

A practical approach to web design

A useful business website makes the offer clear, helps visitors complete their task and gives search engines accessible, well-organized content. Our web design work connects structure, visual identity, performance and measurement from the beginning. The result is a site that can support marketing and be maintained as the business changes.

Start with a clear job for every page

A discovery session establishes the audience, services, existing search equity and the actions that matter. We inventory current URLs before redesigning them, then separate primary service pages from supporting guides. Navigation should reflect how a buyer thinks about the business. A website with fewer confusing decisions can be more useful than one with a large menu and overlapping landing pages.

Build around real content and real visitors

Design follows an agreed content structure, with attention to mobile reading, concise labels and credible evidence. Contact forms ask only what is necessary for the next step. Important controls work with a keyboard, focus is visible and images have appropriate alternatives. Accessibility is an ongoing practice involving testing and maintenance; a template or overlay is not a blanket legal guarantee.

Protect search visibility during the move

A migration should account for every valuable URL. We preserve existing paths where possible and map necessary changes to direct permanent redirects. Titles, descriptions, canonical URLs and internal links are checked on the generated pages. The new sitemap includes only the intended canonical URLs. Search Console monitoring after launch helps identify unexpected indexing or crawl changes while a rollback remains available.

Use a six-step delivery process

We work through discovery, page planning, visual design, implementation, testing and launch. Each stage produces something concrete to review: a page map, content, a working preview or an acceptance checklist. Testing covers navigation, forms, mobile layouts and the pages people enter from search. Launch includes ownership and maintenance documentation, so updating a sentence or publishing a guide does not require rebuilding the business relationship.

Choose a scope that matches the business

A local contractor may need service explanations, credible project examples and an estimate flow. A professional practice may need clear specialties and a consultation path. A B2B supplier may need capabilities and a qualified inquiry. The right system depends on what visitors need to accomplish, the team maintaining the site and the integrations required. We define those needs before recommending a technology stack.

Connect the website to the next stage of growth

Explore Indianapolis web design for local planning and SEO services for ongoing discovery. Our accessibility service focuses on barriers that affect real visitors. Review recent projects and bring your existing site, content and goals to the first conversation. A scoped proposal should distinguish design, content, integrations, hosting and future maintenance.
