Questions to ask before you hire
When you compare quotes, these questions help you find the right fit:
- Can I see live examples of sites you have built?
- Will I be able to update the content myself?
- Who owns the site and domain once it is finished?
- Is SEO and ongoing support included?
What affects the cost?
Every business and project is different, so prices vary. The main factors are:

The simplest way to understand the cost for your situation is to compare a few quotes side by side.
