How much should I expect to pay for a website design?
Website design costs vary based on complexity and scope. At What if Design, our projects typically range from $4,000-$15,000 depending on your needs. We're 3x more affordable than traditional agencies because of our streamlined remote-first process. A basic website with essential pages starts around $4,000, while comprehensive sites with custom functionality and extensive content run $10,000-$15,000. We offer transparent pricing and can provide a detailed quote after understanding your specific requirements during a free consultation.
How long does it take to design and launch a website?
Most projects take 4-12 weeks from initial workshop to launch, depending on complexity and scope. Simple landing pages can be completed in as little as 2-4 weeks, while comprehensive websites with custom branding typically take 8-12 weeks. We work in weekly sprints with regular check-ins, so you'll see progress continuously. For urgent projects, we can accommodate rush timelines with turnarounds as fast as 48 hours for specific deliverables.
Do you provide ongoing website maintenance and updates?
Yes! We offer flexible ongoing support through our Design Supercharger and Design Essentials subscription services. These month-to-month plans include website updates, new page creation, content changes, and continuous optimization. Alternatively, we can provide training so your team can make updates independently, especially if we build your site on user-friendly platforms like Webflow or Framer.
Will my website be mobile-friendly and responsive?
Absolutely. Every website we design is mobile-first and fully responsive across all devices—phones, tablets, and desktops. With over 60% of web traffic coming from mobile devices, we prioritize mobile experience in every design decision. We test extensively across different screen sizes and browsers to ensure flawless performance everywhere.
Can you help with content writing and photography?
Yes, our full-service approach includes conversion-focused copywriting as part of our standard website packages. We craft clear, strategic messaging that speaks directly to your investors, buyers, and partners. For photography and imagery, we can source high-quality stock photos, provide art direction for custom photography, or create custom illustrations and graphics that align with your brand identity.
What platforms do you build websites on?
We specialize in modern, no-code platforms—primarily Webflow and Framer. These platforms offer the perfect balance of design flexibility, performance, and ease of management. They're significantly faster to develop on than traditional coding, which translates to cost savings for you. Plus, they're intuitive enough for non-technical teams to manage content updates independently without ongoing developer dependency.
Do you offer website redesign services for existing sites?
Yes, website redesigns are one of our core services. Whether your site looks outdated, isn't converting visitors, or needs modernization for better performance, we can help. We start by auditing your current site, identifying what's working and what's not, then create a strategic redesign that improves user experience, brand perception, and business results while preserving your SEO equity.
Will my website be optimized for search engines (SEO)?
SEO optimization is built into every website we create. This includes proper site structure, fast loading speeds, mobile responsiveness, optimized meta descriptions and titles, schema markup, and clean code. We also implement SEO best practices for content hierarchy and internal linking. While we handle technical SEO foundations, ongoing content SEO and link-building can be part of our monthly subscription services if needed.
