solopreneur website FAQ's
After all required information/assets are in-hand (questionnaire, logo, images), we'll have a draft ready for review within 2-3 days.
Home, About, Services are customized with your information, with most attention given to the home page. Contact, Email Confirmation, Privacy Policy and Blog are all pre-built pages in order to reduce design time/cost. If desired, additional pages can be added at our standard hourly rate.
Our package rates are based on detailed hourly estimates, which in turn are based on our extremely detailed checklists that we work through for each website. We have reduced tasks to the bare minimum, as well as the time spent on those tasks.
This reduction in speed is intended more to make this package budget-friendly than for quick turnaround time, although that's also a nice side effect.
Absolutely! Our proposals are customized for each client for this very reason. We always offer Google Workspace and Email Marketing Software as recommended add-ons, but if you need something specific, like a pre-intake form, we'll quote that especially for you as a custom add-on.
Yep! We build websites with a lightweight WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) page builder specifically so clients can make edits themselves. Once the site is launched, you'll receive login information and instructions.
Our SOLO Website Package is built on self-hosted WordPress, meaning we install WordPress open source software on our website hosting, then maintain it for you with included updates, backups, and security/uptime monitoring.
WordPress gives you full control over your website; you aren't locked into a service like Squarespace, so at any point you could package up your website and take it to any web host of your choosing.
This is why we use and recommend WordPress (also because it's easy to use, great for blogging and SEO, and it powers half of the Internet, meaning it's easy to find technical help because so many people have experience using it).
WordPress is installed on a website host, which is a technical process that requires ongoing maintenance. We have yet to meet a small business owner who has the know-how, desire, and time to do this, which is why we take care of everything for you.
Our monthly hosting is truly managed, meaning the cost includes the hosting space itself, routine updates, backups, security and uptime monitoring, and up to $2400/year value in software licensing.
The beauty of WordPress lies in the ability to add functionality, but the best features are paid (premium contact forms, for example). Our standard recommendations are included in your hosting at no extra charge, meaning you can save thousands per year and you don't have to worry about extra account logins and managing license renewals.
You also have the advantage of a single point of contact for all website issues. Our team is available on-demand if you need help or want to add technical features in the future.

A portion of our Website Questionnaire is dedicated to logo design questions; we'll use those to inform our first drafts. You'll have two rounds of revisions; one to pick the concept, and one to adjust the colors. This is about efficiency, so if you'd like to spend more time on this we'd recommend adding additional revisions as a package upgrade.
