Website questions
The ones I actually get asked.
How fast are we talking?
It depends on the size. A Starter, up to 5 pages, is 10 business days. A Signature, up to 10 pages, is 15. A full Site + System is 20. Every one of those clocks starts when your content is complete against the checklist I send you, not when you pay.
I quote it that way because most of the delay in a website build is waiting on the person who ordered it, and I'd rather tell you that up front than be annoyed about it later. If you need a hard calendar date regardless of when your content lands, that's a rush and it adds 25 percent.
What happens if my content is late?
Your project moves to my next opening. It does not get squeezed into a shorter build window, because that's how a site ends up half-finished and everybody ends up annoyed. I take four builds at a time, so if you slip past your date the next slot is usually a couple of weeks out.
Same rule going the other direction: you get two business days to send feedback on each revision round. If I'm the one holding things up, that's on me and I'll say so.
What if I need more or fewer pages?
Starter covers up to 5 pages and Signature covers up to 10, which is the right size for most small businesses. Beyond that, extra pages are $350 each. You can also add copywriting, a logo, blog setup, or integrations one at a time, so you're only paying for the parts you actually need.
Can I update the site myself after?
On a custom-coded build, small changes come to me and they're covered under Site Care. If it matters to you that anyone on your team can log in and edit a page, say so up front and I'll build it on Squarespace or WordPress instead. That's $1,000 more, because building something to be handed off cleanly takes longer than building it for myself, and it comes with training and written documentation.
What if I already have a site?
Then you have two options. If the site is basically sound and nobody can find it, Found By January fixes it in thirty days without a rebuild, from $1,500. If it needs rebuilding, I rebuild it. I keep what works, fix what doesn't, and restructure it so both Google and AI search can read it. Rebuilds cost the same as a new build, never less, because inheriting someone else's content decisions and redirects is more work than starting clean, not less.
How do you compare to an agency?
A small agency will quote you five to twelve thousand for a five page site and take six to eight weeks, because you're paying for a project manager, a designer, a developer, and the meetings between them. You get one person who does all three, so it costs less and moves faster. What you give up is bench depth. If you need a team of six, hire a team of six.
