Helping Businesses Get Off the Ground

We develop all our websites on the WordPress CMS. Being the post popular web platform out there, it allows us the flexibility and support to ensure that your site is future-proof and stable long-term.

We don't use pre-made themes for our websites. Instead, we custom design your site to best meet your needs and tell your story. We then use a modular page builder to allow you to edit the site content, sections, photos and more as you need changes in the future. No coding skills necessary!

We're all about understanding what design styles you like and what supports the story you're trying to tell the best. Our clients typically trust us to translate their eye into a compelling design that employs our best practices, but we always allow you to review and offer feedback. With the Nowspeed Starter Package, you are allowed one design review after we present the home page to you.

No. All work from design to development is done by the team you meet with in our office. We believe that a lot is missed when you're working with a remote team and it's not worth the savings to sacrifice quality and communication.

With the Nowspeed Starter Package, we ask that you provide all content to us about your business and services. We'll adjust the content to fit a good narrative and meet SEO best practices, but you'll need to be in the driver's seat. 

Currently we do not offer photography. However, we can recommend photographers to you, or if you already have high-resolution images to use, we can incorporate those into the designs. Just note that phone images or older digital images don't usually do the job on modern screens and devices.

For the first year of the plan, you are not given access to the back end of your website. But, every month, we offer 1 hour's worth of edits to you and are happy to handle them. After the end of the first year, you are welcome to migrate your website to your own hosting platform and manage and edit it yourself from then on out.

Yes. For the first year, we offer 1 hour per month of website changes and edits. You can purchase additional edits at our hourly rate of $125.

Additionally, we cover the cost of updating plugins, managing bugs and errors, and ensuring the website is operating properly. 

For the first year, yes. After that time, you are able to have your website hosted with another provider and we will help you transition it over.

We do guarantee that your website will be delivered to you bug-free and fully as expected. And will correct any errors that result from our initial coding right after launch.

While our websites last, on average, 4-5 years before major updates are needed to keep up with changing technologies, we can't offer a long-term guarantee for a few reasons:

• If we're not hosting or managing your website, we can't ensure it's up-to-date and secure. There are too many changes in code and hack vulnerabilities for us to be responsible if your website breaks while not under our watch.
• If you or somebody else is managing your website, it's very easy to accidentally change code or functionality while not knowing the full scope of how things are built. If you install a Ford Fiesta transmission into your BMW, it won't exactly work.

If you elect to have us host and manage your website, we do guarantee that your site will be up 99.9% of the time and kept fully up to date and secure. In that case, we cover any issues or errors that popup.

And, we guarantee that any time you need, help, you can reach out and we're here to help.

Not on our end. Once you have a contract, that's the price you pay. The only exception would be in the very rare case of a major change in scope after the site has been reviewed, developed, and approved (say you have a major re-brand after we've already developed the site). This has happened once or twice in the 10 years we've been in business and both times the client was fully informed and aware of the cost of the change they requested.

On average, a website will have a shelf life of 4-5 years before it needs a major upgrade to keep up with changing technologies. Think how websites had to change dramatically when smart phones became commonplace; we can't always predict what's coming.

We build all websites with SEO best practices standard. By default, we include proper header tags, meta descriptions, sitemaps, speed optimizations and more. Almost every site we launch outperforms its predecessor out of the box.

Yes. We design and develop all websites responsively to fit and work well on all devices. We believe the customer experience should be the same regardless of how they get to and view your site.
