Houston Web Design & Development FAQ

Get answers about professional web design services, from pricing to process. We believe in complete transparency about our services and approach.

  • We offer flexible options: $200/month with no down payment and unlimited support, or $4,000 one-time for a 5-page custom-coded website. Our services include hosting, maintenance, and ongoing optimization.

  • Monthly plans include custom web development, unlimited content updates, hosting, 24/7 Houston-based support, Google Business Profile setup, and professional email integration.

  • Unlike template solutions, our custom web design approach delivers faster loading times, higher Google rankings, and complete control over functionality. You get direct access to your developer and personalized support.

  • While we can work with WordPress or website builders if specifically requested, we prefer custom-coded solutions. Template-based platforms often include unnecessary code that slows down your website. Our custom development approach ensures faster loading times, better security, and complete control over functionality.

  • Monthly plans require a 12-month minimum commitment to ensure we can deliver value through our development and optimization process. After 12 months, you can cancel with 30 days' notice or buy out your website for continued ownership.

  • We understand businesses sometimes face cash flow challenges. Our goal is to maintain a strong partnership, so we work flexibly with clients experiencing temporary financial difficulties. Just keep us informed of your situation, and we'll find a solution that works for both parties. However, websites may be suspended if we don't receive any communication from the client or feel we are being taken advantage of.

  • Our structured 4-6 week development process ensures efficient delivery while maintaining quality. Each project receives dedicated attention from our development team.

  • Yes, we serve businesses across Greater Houston, including The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Katy, Clear Lake, and surrounding areas. Our local presence ensures responsive service.

  • For one-time builds ($4,000 or $4,900), you receive a perpetual usage license upon final payment. Monthly subscribers can buy out their website after 12 months. Both options include full content management access, though we retain intellectual property rights to the code.

  • A perpetual usage license grants you permanent rights to use and maintain your website after final payment is received. You have full authority to modify content and structure through the content management system, implement design changes as needed, and even transfer the website to different hosting providers if desired. This ensures you maintain complete control over your website's functionality and content.

    However, there are some important limitations to understand. While you have full usage rights, the intellectual property rights to the underlying code remain with our agency. This means you cannot resell or redistribute the website code to others, nor can you transfer the code to other development agencies for modification. This structure protects our intellectual property while ensuring you have all the rights needed to effectively operate and maintain your business website.

  • After 12 months on the Essential Plan ($200/month, $2,400 paid), the buyout price is $1,600, matching the one-time build total of $4,000. For the Growth Plan ($275/month, $3,300 paid), the buyout is $1,600, matching the $4,900 one-time price.

  • We offer full refunds before development begins if we determine we're not the right fit for your project or cannot deliver a design concept you're happy with. Once development starts, we ensure satisfaction through unlimited revisions during the development phase, but no refunds are available after this point.

  • Every website includes SSL certification, daily backups, malware monitoring, and continuous security updates. Our maintenance plans ensure your site stays protected.

  • Yes, maintenance is included in monthly plans ($200/month) or available as an add-on ($50/month) for one-time builds. Our team handles security updates, content changes, and technical support.

  • If you cancel monthly service after the 12-month minimum term without buying out your website, you'll need to transition to a new platform. We provide a 30-day transition period and can assist with content migration for an additional fee.

  • Yes, all plans include priority support for technical emergencies. Monthly subscribers receive 24/7 access to our support team for urgent issues like website downtime or security concerns.

  • Our content management system (CMS) allows you to easily create blog posts and update existing blog posts by default. However, to maintain your website's performance and SEO optimization, we typically manage other changes to core page content, copywriting, and image assets. This ensures all updates maintain fast loading times and preserve the technical SEO elements we've carefully implemented.

    For clients who prefer more control, we can provide custom CMS functionality and training on a case-by-case basis. One-time build clients can also add our unlimited content updates service for $50/month, which includes professional optimization of all content changes. This approach helps protect your investment by ensuring your website maintains its performance and search engine visibility over time.

  • Every website includes comprehensive local SEO optimization, Google Business Profile setup, local schema markup, and area-specific content targeting.

  • All our websites are mobile-first, ensuring perfect performance across all devices. We test extensively on phones, tablets, and desktops.

  • Our custom-coded websites consistently achieve sub-2-second loading times, significantly outperforming template-based solutions.

  • Our packages include technical SEO fundamentals and local optimization. For advanced SEO campaigns or paid advertising, we partner with SEO professionals and can provide referrals based on your needs. We only refer clients to the most reputable SEO professionals we know with an extremely strong portfolio of measurable results.

  • No reputable web developer can guarantee specific search rankings, as Google's algorithms consider hundreds of factors. We implement proven technical SEO practices and local optimization strategies that help improve your visibility, but rankings depend on various factors including competition and content quality.

  • Our packages include technical SEO fundamentals like proper header structure, meta descriptions, schema markup, mobile optimization, and local business optimization. We also set up and optimize your Google Business Profile for local search visibility.
