FAQs
Common questions from local owners
Why do you charge for the first consultation?
The £49.50 Cloud & Systems Consultation is where we do the real thinking work: reviewing your current setup, clarifying goals, and outlining practical options. It means you get focused, honest advice rather than a vague sales chat. If you go ahead with a project, the fee is usually credited against your first invoice.
How fast can we launch?
Most brochure sites go live within 2–3 weeks once content is signed off and the consultation is complete. Bigger builds add time for copy, photography, and testing.
Do you handle domains, email and Google listings?
Yes. We can purchase or transfer domains, configure DNS and SSL, set up Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and optimise Google Business so locals can find you.
What about support after launch?
Every project includes 30 days of fixes plus optional care plans for edits, monitoring, content, and quarterly reviews of the systems we've put in place.
How do payments work for projects?
After the consultation you receive a fixed-price proposal. For smaller projects a common schedule is 50% on agreed scope and 50% before go-live. Larger or ongoing work may be split into milestones. Care plans renew month-to-month and can usually be paused with 30 days' notice.
