Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what people ask before starting a website project.
Getting started
What types of websites do you build?
Static business websites, dynamic websites with an admin panel, WordPress websites, and online stores on Shopify or WooCommerce. I also help with business email, Amazon seller listings, advertising and SEO. Every site is custom-designed for the business and responsive on every screen size.
I am not sure which type of website I need. Can you help?
Yes. Describe your business and what you want visitors to do, and I will suggest the simplest option that fits. If a simpler or cheaper option serves you well, I will say so.
Do you work with clients outside Kerala?
Yes. I am based in Payyanur, Kannur, and I work with clients in India and around the world, mostly remotely, by WhatsApp, email and phone.
Do you work alone or with a team?
I do most of the design and development myself. When a project needs a specialist in an area such as marketing or store setup, I bring in trusted collaborators and remain your point of contact.
Cost and time
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the number of pages and the features you need. The quote calculator gives an indicative estimate for many projects, and I confirm a detailed quote after understanding your requirements. For custom requirements there is no automatic price, because they need a proper assessment.
What is the free one-page website offer?
There is no design fee for a simple one-page website. You pay for the domain registration and one year of hosting. Design changes after the page is built are not included, and extra pages or features are quoted separately.
How long does it take to build a website?
A static website is usually designed and launched in two to five days, provided feedback and approvals come back promptly. Dynamic websites, online stores and redesigns take longer, and I give a timeline once the scope is clear.
Is the quote calculator a final price?
No. It is an indicative estimate. The final price is confirmed in writing after I review your requirements, and it may change.
Domain, hosting and email
Do you provide domain registration and hosting?
Yes. I register domains in most popular extensions, including .com, .in, .co.in, .org, .net, .info, .biz and country extensions such as .ae. Some country extensions have eligibility rules, and I tell you what is needed before you commit. Educational institutions can register edu.in and ac.in domains through the official government portal using the institution’s documents, and I support you through the whole application. I also set up hosting and an SSL certificate and connect everything to your website. Most website packages include one year of hosting.
What happens when the first year of hosting ends?
Renewals are charged at the rates that apply at that time, and I tell you the current figure when we discuss your requirements. I remind you well before each renewal is due and follow up until it is completed, so your website never goes offline because a renewal was missed.
Can I have email addresses on my own domain?
Yes. Website packages include five basic webmail accounts where your hosting supports them. For larger needs I can set up Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Zoho Mail, which are charged by those providers.
After the website is live
What happens after my website is launched?
I stay available. Questions, small updates and renewals are part of how I work, and many clients have been with me for years. Larger changes or new features are quoted separately.
Can I update the website myself?
With a WordPress site or a dynamic website, yes, through a dashboard or admin panel for the content built into it. A static website has no admin panel, so I make the changes for you.
Will my website work on mobile phones?
Yes. Every website I design is responsive and tested on phones, tablets and desktops.
Search, advertising and online selling
Can you guarantee my website will rank first on Google?
No, and nobody honestly can. I build sites with clean structure, fast loading and useful content, and I offer SEO work that follows search engines’ guidelines, but rankings depend on many factors outside anyone’s control.
Can you set up my Google Business Profile?
Yes. I create your Google Business Profile, complete it with accurate details and photos, and guide you through Google’s verification. Google decides what is approved, so I cannot promise a particular result or position on Maps.
Do you manage Facebook, Instagram and Google ads?
Yes. I manage Meta ads, Google Ads and marketplace ads. Advertising spend is paid by you directly to the platform and is separate from my fee.
Can you help me sell on Amazon?
Yes. I help with seller account creation, product listings and Amazon ads. Amazon decides what is approved and its policies apply, so I cannot promise approval or sales.
Do you build online stores?
Yes, on Shopify and WooCommerce. I will recommend one after hearing about your products, payments and delivery.
