One question I get from customers is "How do you handle feedback and revisions during a project?"

I use a simple visual feedback tool that lets you leave comments right on the design — like digital sticky notes. It keeps everything organized and easy to track. We also do weekly check-ins to review progress and make sure we're always on the same page.

A question I hear a lot is "What happens after I fill out the 'Get Started' form?"

Once you submit the form, I'll review your details and reach out with any quick follow-up questions. From there, we'll schedule a short call to get to know each other, talk through your project, and make sure it's a good fit. It's a relaxed chat — no pressure, just a chance to see what you're trying to accomplish and how I can help.

What does it actually cost to run a professional WordPress website? I itemized every line — hosting, licenses, backups, security, the time it takes to keep it all working — and explain how a management plan can come in at a fraction of the total.

One question I get from customers is "How long does it usually take to build a site with you?"

Most websites launch in 6 to 10 weeks. The exact timeline depends on the project's size, features, and how quickly we can keep things moving together. When feedback and content come in on time, we often finish faster. Before we start, you'll get a clear project schedule, and I send weekly updates so you always know where things stand.

One question I get from customers is "How does your website design process work from start to finish?"

Every project follows the same clear roadmap. We start with a quick intro call and a ballpark estimate. If it's a good fit, we move into a discovery session where we dig into goals, content, and functionality. From there, I'll send a detailed proposal and, once approved, we kick things off. Design and development happen in close collaboration with you — lots of check-ins, no surprises. After testing and launch, you get 30 days of after-care (and I can handle ongoing maintenance if you'd rather not think about it).

HubSpot's CMO shared recently that people who find them through ChatGPT convert at 3-5x the rate of people who find them through regular Google. And they close significantly faster.

The reason is wild when you think about it. When someone Googles you, they're still browsing. They got one search result among ten, they're probably about to check two competitors. When someone finds you through ChatGPT, they've already had a twenty-minute conversation describing their exact situation, gotten a tailored recommendation, maybe compared a couple options — all before they click anything. They're not browsing when they show up. They're deciding.

That's a completely different kind of visitor. Fewer of them. But way better ones.

Which is part of why the whole "SEO budget" conversation has shifted. It's not just SEO anymore — it's SEO plus AI search, and you have to think about them together. I wrote up how to do that without losing your mind:

Every single client eventually asks me how to come up higher on Google. And almost every answer they've ever been given is some version of "hire us and we'll handle it." Which is fine if you can afford it, but most small businesses can't — or they can, but they have no way of knowing if what they're being sold is actually worth it.

So I put together the version I wish someone had handed me when I was on the other side of these conversations. What SEO actually costs at every level, what you get for it, and what order to spend in.

If you've ever wondered whether you're getting ripped off by an SEO retainer or whether you even need one — this is for you.
