Before we work together.
Can we keep our booking calendar?
We check your booking provider before recommending a change. Availability, capacity, deposits, cancellations and payment rules all affect the customer flow.
The site can present the experience clearly and connect to the right booking step. Private groups or custom requests can have a separate inquiry path, so they do not get lost in a standard ticket checkout.
Can it handle payments and subscriptions?
Yes, when they fit the product. We scope the payment provider, checkout, subscriptions, refunds and account permissions before development. Marketplaces may also need seller onboarding, commissions and payouts.
Provider eligibility, platform rules and transaction fees affect the setup. We explain those dependencies early and use established payment services to avoid handling raw card details ourselves.
Do we need to provide all the copy?
You provide the facts only your business knows: what you sell, who you serve, how the work happens and what customers ask. We can turn that into page copy and a clear structure as part of the scope.
We use photos and claims you approve. If new photography or content production is needed, we identify that early so it does not hold up the launch.
What goes into the price of a website?
The price follows the work: page count, copy, photography, booking or quote flows, and any connections to your existing tools. We agree on the deliverables, timeline, payment milestones and revision rounds before starting.
Hosting, software subscriptions and optional monthly support are explained separately. If your budget needs a smaller first release, we identify what matters now and what can wait.
How do you approach SEO?
We start with what customers search for and which services you want to sell. Then we work on crawlable pages, useful service content, titles, internal links, mobile performance and accurate business information. Location pages need real local detail, not just a different town name.
Ongoing SEO adds research, content and improvements based on search and inquiry data. We agree which foundations belong in the build and which work continues on a monthly plan.
Can you help us appear in AI searches?
GEO means improving how clearly AI search tools can find, understand and reference your business. We focus on accessible content, direct answers, consistent business details and structured data that matches the page.
We build on sound SEO rather than promising a special shortcut. Google, ChatGPT and other platforms choose their own sources. A citation or ranking cannot be guaranteed, but we can improve the material they have to work with.
How do you help increase leads over time?
We look at the whole path: how someone finds you, what convinces them, whether they complete the inquiry, and how your team follows up. That gives us a practical list of improvements, from stronger service pages to shorter forms and better routing.
On a growth plan, we agree on tracking and review lead quality with you. The next round of work follows that evidence, rather than publishing more pages just to fill a report.
Can you stay involved after launch?
Yes. We work with clients through monthly care and growth plans. Care focuses on keeping the product healthy: fixes, updates, monitoring and agreed improvements. Growth work focuses on bringing the right people in and helping more of them take the next step.
Your plan sets the priorities, capacity and communication rhythm. You know what we are working on and why, with larger features or campaigns scoped before they begin.
