What's in the free website review?
I run your site through Google PageSpeed Insights on mobile and desktop, use it on a phone the way a customer would, check how your pages show up in Google search results, and note anything that makes it hard to call you or ask for a quote. You get a short summary by email with what I'd fix first. There's no obligation to hire me afterwards.
Can you build something other than a website?
Yes. I'm a full-stack developer, so I build the server and database side as well as the pages. That covers CRMs, booking and quote tools, online stores, AI assistants, mobile apps, and connections to tools like Google Calendar. Custom builds are quoted separately once I know what the software needs to do, and they cost more than a website.
How much does a website cost?
WordPress migrations and redesigns start at $2,000 CAD. The final price depends on how many pages the site needs and which features it has, and the quote is fixed after the free review, before work starts. A speed and SEO tune-up is included in every migration and redesign, and on its own it starts at $750 CAD. If you need something past the website, like a CRM to keep track of customers and leads, I can build that too. It's quoted separately and costs more.
How long does it take?
Usually 2 to 4 weeks from the free review to launch, depending on how quickly the content and photos come in.
How does payment work?
A 50% deposit to start and the other 50% at launch. After launch, care plans are $75 or $150 CAD a month, month to month.
Will a new website hurt my Google ranking?
It shouldn't, if the move is handled carefully. I keep pages that already rank at the same address where I can, set up permanent (301) redirects for any address that changes, and submit the new sitemap in Google Search Console after launch. Rankings can wobble for a few weeks while Google recrawls the site.
Can I edit the site myself after launch?
Yes, as an optional paid add-on, quoted separately. After launch you get your own login to a simple editing dashboard, similar to WordPress, where you can update text, swap images and add posts. You can't install plugins or change the layout, so nothing breaks and nothing needs updating. Some owners would rather not edit at all. Rosehill sends changes through a shared Notion board and I make them, which is faster for both of us but means even a new phone number goes through me.
Do I have to move off WordPress?
Not if your WordPress site is fast, up to date and easy for you to edit. If that's the case, I'll tell you in the free review. Moving pays off when the site is slow on phones, the plugins are years out of date, or simple changes keep breaking the layout.
Do I need a whole new website, or just some fixes?
Not always a new one. If the review shows the problem is a heavy video, oversized images or a phone number buried in the footer, fixing those on your current site can be enough, and I'll tell you that. A redesign makes sense when the fixes would cost close to a rebuild anyway.
