Frequently Asked Questions

Business websites, redesigns, and sites that need a clearer structure, design, and path for customers to get in touch. The scope follows the business, not a fixed package.

The work starts from the individual business, its audience, and its goals, rather than from a fixed industry specialty.

No. Professor Web Studio is based in the Chicago area and also works with clients elsewhere.

Yes. Projects can be handled remotely with businesses throughout the United States, from strategy and design through development and launch.

Yes. An existing website can be reviewed and redesigned when that is the right next step.

Timing depends on the scope and complexity, including the pages, content, and features the site needs.

A clear picture of the business, who the site is for, and what a visitor should do next. Content, examples, and access to an existing site help when they already exist.

You can provide it, or we can organize and prepare the website content together as part of the project, where that is agreed.

Yes. Structure is part of the project. Copy can be shaped with you so the pages explain the offer and lead to the next step.

As many as the business actually needs. The page list is planned from the content and the goal, not from a preset count.

Yes. You review the site before it goes live, so the content and the main paths can be checked.

Yes. The design is created around the business and the brand, rather than dropped onto a recycled layout.

No. The work is custom. A platform may be used when it is the better fit, but the site is not sold as a template.

The technology follows the project. That can be a custom build, or a platform such as WordPress, Wix, or Shopify when it is the better fit.

Yes, when WordPress is the right tool for the business, including cases where you need to manage content yourself.

Yes, when Wix is the better fit for the project.

Yes, when the business needs a store and Shopify is the better fit.

Yes. A custom website is the default when a platform would add complexity the business does not need.

Yes. A responsive, mobile-first implementation is part of every build.

Yes. Contact forms and the integrations the business actually needs can be part of the project.

Yes, when selling online is part of the business. The store is scoped with the rest of the site.

Every website includes a technical SEO foundation. Ongoing SEO, content, and search growth are a separate service. Rankings are not promised.

Search-friendly structure, metadata, a sitemap, indexing fundamentals, and a clean technical setup so search engines can read the site.

No. No one can honestly guarantee a position in Google. The build includes a technical foundation. Rankings depend on more than the website alone.

The site is built to be fast in ordinary use: lean pages, appropriate images, and a setup that does not add unnecessary weight.

Yes, as a separate service. That covers search and content growth after the technical foundation is in place. It is not included automatically with the website.

Yes. Buying a new domain or connecting one you already own can be part of the launch setup.

The site is deployed to hosting that fits the project. Hosting is part of the technical setup when the project needs it, not a separate product sold on its own.

Yes. An existing domain can be pointed at the new site when you control it.

You review it, the remaining details are corrected, and then it is deployed and checked so the live site matches what was approved.

Yes. Deployment and launch support are part of the project.

When the project needs it, the site can be set up so you can edit content without a developer. That is decided during the project, not assumed for every site.

Yes. Later changes can be agreed after launch.

Support after launch can be arranged when you need it. It is not an automatic subscription.

Tell me what broke. I will look at the site and correct problems that come from the work that was delivered.

There is no published fixed price. Cost depends on the scope, and I will give you an estimate after you describe the project.

Pages, functionality, integrations, e-commerce, content preparation, and how much of the existing site needs to change.

Payment terms, including whether a deposit is required, are agreed before the work starts. They are not a single published rule.

Yes, when the work is large enough that building it in stages is the clearer way to proceed.
