Frequently Asked Questions

Setup & Launch

My company has multiple locations. Can we list them all on our website?

Yes you can at no extra charge. However, if you’re doing Online Ordering or some other features such as booking, then it costs a bit more per location. Contact us for details.

I own multiple companies and need each to have it’s own website. Do you offer a bulk discount?

Yes! You’ll receive 20% off when you have two or more sites with us.

What if I don't have all of the information I need to start the website?

With unlimited content changes before and after launch, it’s easy.  Simply build an initial site with the content you do have, then send us updates as you finish writing.

What if this is my first website and I don't own a domain name?
No need to worry, we've got that handled. Let your marketing consultant know that in your first meeting, and we'll find you some options for domain names. Decide what you want to buy, and we'll purchase the domain name as part of your package.
What if I do own my domain name? How do you get the new site to show up there?
If you own your domain name, that's great! When your site is ready to launch, we'll send you the information to share with your registrar. They'll point your domain name to your new site that is hosted on our secure servers.
How long will delivery take?
We'll have your site delivered within 3 weeks of receiving all of your vital information and assets. We cannot start counting time until that step is complete.
What do you consider unlimited content changes?
Unlimited content changes means you can submit new blog posts with photos for posting, change any text on any page of your site, change out any of your images, and add videos.
What if I decide to take my site elsewhere in the first year?
Remember that your contract is for 12 months, and if on Plans 2 or 3, you are paying in full for your site build. So, we would provide you with your content to take to your new developer. Theme files are not included so you'll be receiving your raw data. On Plan 1, you are spreading the cost of the build out over the year so you will not be entitled to any of your content.
Do I receive an invoice for my order?
When you place your order, you'll receive an email with your receipt. Each month, we'll send you a receipt for the monthly fee.
