Frequently Asked Questions
In case you're wondering
Short answer: it depends…
It depends mostly on whether you send over your selected theme and content on time.
Otherwise the answer is yes.
Training happens in 2 ways:
- I send you links to a series of short training videos for you to watch
- You get up to 1 hour of live online training to clarify anything you want
Your website management dashboard is really straightforward and most users get it very quickly.
Absolutely not! Blogs are offered as an add-on paid for only once.
Once installed, the blog allows you to add posts from your dashboard as you see fit.
Glad you asked! Yes and no… No, there are absolutely no hidden costs. And yes, there are extra costs.
I do not provide the theme for your website and you have to get it yourself. I'll help of course. You can expect to pay between $20 and $50 for a professionally designed theme. Free themes are also available but quality may vary.
You also have to pay a monthly fee for a hosting plan of your choice. That can be as low as $7/month. I do not provide hosting either but I can advise you.
Yes, to some extent.
As part of the service I'll customize your chosen theme with your name or logo, and design a custom color pack to match your brand.
I do not make structural changes to the theme. If you need additional structural modifications to the theme, I can do that for an additional fee to be discussed.
As an example, if you require e-commerce functionalities but bought a theme that doesn't include any e-commerce modules (product list, checkout page, cart...) that's a problem.
Payment is exclusively through Paypal for now.
I will send you an invoice with a link to easily make your payment.
You don't have to have a Paypal account to proceed with the payment.
