Website Design FAQ: What Small Businesses Need
The design decisions that affect whether you get found and whether visitors call you. Everything else is taste.
01How much should a small business website cost?
A professional custom website typically costs $3,000-$15,000 depending on complexity. Template-based sites can be cheaper but often lack SEO optimization.
02Do I need a custom website or can I use a template?
Templates work for basic needs. Custom design is worth it when you need specific functionality, strong SEO, or a unique brand presence.
03How long does it take to build a website?
4-12 weeks for a professional small business website, depending on complexity and how quickly you provide content.
04What platform should I use?
WordPress is the most flexible and SEO-friendly. Other options include Webflow (visual design), Squarespace (simplicity), and Shopify (e-commerce).
05How often should I update my website?
Content should be updated regularly (monthly). The design itself should be refreshed every 3-5 years to stay current. Need help with this? Free 30-minute call. No obligation.
