Do I need to have content ready before reaching out?
No. Photos, services, hours, and basic business details help, but I can also help organize a first version from what you already know about your business.
FAQ
Questions before starting a website project.
Clear answers about the process, what you need to provide, and how Shiv's Web Studio helps small businesses launch practical websites.
What is included in the free website review?
I look at your current website or business details and identify what could be clearer for customers, such as services, trust signals, local details, and the next step to contact you.
What is a free homepage concept?
It is a visual or written direction for how your homepage could be structured, including stronger messaging, clearer sections, and calls to action built around your business goals.
Can you help after the site launches?
Yes. Monthly Care can cover small text/photo edits, form testing, page checks, content updates, and practical improvements after launch. Larger changes or new pages can be quoted separately.
What if I need maintenance but not a full redesign?
That can still be a fit. The first conversation can focus on what is broken, missing, outdated, or hard for customers to use.
Will customers be able to contact me through the site?
Yes. The site can include contact forms, phone buttons, booking links, map sections, and direct calls to action depending on how your business prefers to receive leads.
Can you work with businesses outside New Jersey?
Yes. Shiv's Web Studio is based in New Jersey, but small business websites can be planned, built, and launched remotely.
Who owns the website after it is finished?
Once the final payment is completed, the website belongs to your business. I can help with setup, launch, and maintenance, but the goal is for you to have control over your own website, domain, and important accounts.
Do I need to already have a domain?
No. If you already have a domain, I can help connect it. If you do not, I can guide you through choosing and buying one through a provider you control.
Is hosting included?
Hosting and domain costs are usually separate unless included in the project scope. I can help set up hosting, connect your domain, and guide you through the launch process so everything is connected properly.
How does payment work?
Most projects are split into two payments: a deposit to begin the project and the remaining balance before launch. The exact payment structure depends on the project size and scope.
Can you redesign my current website?
Yes. A redesign can keep what is working, improve what feels outdated, and make the site clearer for mobile visitors and potential customers.
Do you help with website text?
Yes. Clients usually provide the core business details, services, photos, and direction. Copywriting and content help can be included depending on the package and scope.
Can I request changes after launch?
Yes. Each package includes the listed revision rounds before launch. After launch, small updates can be handled through Monthly Care or quoted separately.
Do you offer monthly updates?
Yes. Monthly Care is available for small text or photo edits, form checks, page updates, basic analytics review, and ongoing support after launch.
How long does a website take?
Starter sites usually take 1-2 weeks, Business sites 2-4 weeks, and Premium sites 3-6 weeks. Timelines depend on content readiness, feedback speed, and project scope.
Will my website show up on Google?
Each website includes basic SEO setup, such as page titles, descriptions, headings, and local business-focused content. SEO results are not guaranteed, but the site will be built with a clean foundation that helps customers and search engines understand your business.
Can you build online stores, memberships, or advanced features?
For the first version, Shiv's Web Studio focuses on practical small business websites, landing pages, redesigns, contact forms, booking links, and service pages. More advanced features like ecommerce, memberships, dashboards, or custom systems can be discussed separately if needed.
