Common questions

What business owners usually ask first.

How much will my website actually cost?

Most small-business projects fit one of the published packages. After learning what you need, Northwoods provides a written quote before paid work begins. The quote identifies any optional costs such as hosting, premium software, stock media, or advanced functionality.

Will my website rank first on Google?

No honest web designer can guarantee a specific ranking. Your site will receive a strong technical and on-page foundation, but visibility also depends on competition, location, content quality, reviews, links, business history, and continued work after launch.

Do I own the website?

Once the project is paid in full, you own the approved website content and custom work created for the project, subject to licenses for WordPress, plugins, fonts, stock media, and other third-party tools. Your domain and hosting should remain in your name whenever possible.

Can you update a website someone else built?

Usually. A paid audit may be required first when the site has unknown plugins, custom code, security concerns, or an outdated builder. Northwoods will explain whether improving the current site or rebuilding it is the better value.

What do I need to provide?

You will normally provide accurate business information, service details, prices when applicable, photos you have permission to use, login access, and timely feedback. Copy refinement is included in website packages; extensive copywriting, photography, branding, and legal text may be quoted separately.
