Frequently Asked

Your domain is your address on the internet (like yourbusiness.com). It's how people find you. You register it through a registrar and pay a small fee every year to keep it. If you forget to renew, someone else can buy it out from under you.

Hosting is the server where your website's files actually live. Think of the domain as your address and hosting as the building at that address. Without hosting, your domain points to nothing. Hosting costs vary wildly, and cheap hosting means slow load times and more downtime.

SSL (the padlock icon in your browser) encrypts data between your site and your visitors. Without it, browsers show a “Not Secure” warning next to your URL. Google also penalizes non-SSL sites in search rankings. It's not optional anymore.

Everything except the domain itself. You'll own that (same reason you'd want the title to your own house). I'll walk you through buying it. The monthly fee covers everything else: premium hosting, SSL, security, professional design, content updates, maintenance, backups, and direct support. One flat rate.

You can, but you're paying for the platform, the domain, the hosting, the SSL, and spending your own time learning a tool that isn't your business. Most DIY sites look DIY. You're hiring me so yours doesn't, and so you never have to think about any of this.

With a DIY setup, you figure it out. You Google error messages, sit on hold with your hosting provider, or pay a freelancer emergency rates. With me, you send one text or email and I handle it. That's the whole point.

Yes. Your domain, your content, your brand. If you ever leave, everything goes with you. No hostage situations.

No problem. I'll transfer everything over and get it consolidated under your plan. You won't need to log into five different accounts anymore.

Yes: newsletter management, printed materials (design only, printing billed at cost), consulting when you want a second opinion instead of a whole project. My expertise ranges the full spectrum of marketing.
