FAQ
Custom website development — common questions
Why choose custom development over a template or page builder?
Templates and page builders (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace) load unnecessary code, limit your design options, and make it nearly impossible to achieve top-tier performance. Custom development means every line of code serves a purpose — resulting in faster load times, better SEO, and a site that does exactly what your business needs.
What technology do you use to build custom websites?
We build with Next.js (React), TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS — deployed on Vercel's edge network. This stack delivers server-side rendering for SEO, static generation for speed, and a component-based architecture that's easy to maintain and scale.
How much does a custom website cost?
Custom websites start from $2,500 for a marketing site and range up to $25,000+ for complex web applications. We provide a fixed, transparent quote before any work begins — no hourly billing, no scope creep surprises. The price depends on the number of pages, functionality required, and content creation needs.
How long does custom website development take?
Most marketing websites are live within 3–5 weeks. More complex sites with custom functionality, CMS integration, or extensive content take 6–10 weeks. We provide a clear timeline during the quoting process and keep you updated throughout.
Can I update the website myself after launch?
Yes. We integrate a headless CMS so you can update text, images, and pages without touching code. For clients who prefer hands-off management, we offer maintenance plans where we handle all updates for you.
