## Frequently asked
- How fast can my site be live? A one-page site is usually live within days of us getting your content. A full business site takes one to two weeks, depending on how quickly your text, photos and feedback come back to us.
- Do I own the website? Yes, completely. The code sits in an account you own, the domain is registered in your name, and you can move it anywhere, any time. No lock-in, ever.
- What does hosting include? Fast cloud hosting with an SSL certificate, automatic deploys, and us watching uptime around the clock. If something goes wrong, we are usually on it before you notice.
- How do changes work? Send the change on WhatsApp: a new price, a new photo, a new product. We make it and send you a link to check. Do it as you need, or take a monthly retainer with an allowance built in.
- What counts as one change? One request touching one page or one product: a new price, swapped images, an added FAQ. A whole new page or a redesign gets quoted separately, so you always know before anything is billed.
- How do I get a quote? Message us on WhatsApp with what your business does and what you need. You get a straight answer on cost and timing in the same chat, usually the same day.
