How long does web design take?
Turnaround time for new websites is typically 4-5 business days but can be longer depending on the complexity of the website and it’s functionality.

This ensures that your website functions and behaves properly on all different devices and screen sizes so that your viewers can enjoy the same experience regardless of how they’re viewing your website.

Will my website be secure?
The short answer is: it depends. When building new sites we take several precautions to ensure a base layer of security is in place. First, we use extremely complex passwords when creating the administrative account for your site. We only use the latest versions of any software used on your site. If you website is hosted on our server then we will automatically push major security updates to your site when possible. This doesn’t include updates to plugins used on your website. We do offer WordPress maintenance and security packages to ensure your software is up to date, your site automatically thwarts and bans hack attempts, and redundant backups of your site are performed.
