FAQs
Common Questions
What is included in the WordPress website design service?
Strategy, custom WordPress design built in Elementor, technical SEO setup, mobile optimisation, site speed improvements and a full launch handover. Every site is built to Google Search Central best practices and Core Web Vitals guidelines.
Will I be able to edit the website myself after launch?
Yes – that’s one of the main reasons I build in WordPress using Elementor. You’ll be able to update text, swap images and add new content without any technical knowledge. I’ll walk you through it after launch so you feel completely confident.
How long does it take to build a WordPress website?
Most projects take 4–6 weeks from strategy call to launch. Timelines vary depending on the size of the site and how quickly content is provided – but you’ll always get a clear schedule upfront so you know exactly where things stand.
Do you work with businesses outside of Brighton?
Yes – while I’m based in Brighton, I work with businesses across East Sussex, West Sussex and the wider UK. Everything is managed remotely, so location is never an issue. If you’re local, I’m also happy to meet face-to-face.
Can you work with my existing Wix or Squarespace website?
If you already have a site on Wix, Squarespace or Shopify, I can audit and optimise it to improve structure, speed and performance — without necessarily rebuilding from scratch. Get in touch and we’ll figure out what makes the most sense for your situation.
