Frequently Asked Questions

  • Custom-coded websites load faster, are more secure, have better SEO performance, and don't require constant updates or plugin maintenance. They're built specifically for your business needs without the bloat of page builders.

  • Typically 2-4 weeks for a standard 5-page website. That all depends on how soon clients respond to our content requests as well as the availability of our designers, copywriters, and developers. More complex projects may take 4-6 weeks depending on features and requirements.

  • PageSpeed score is Google's rating of your website's loading speed and performance. Higher scores mean better user experience and SEO rankings. Our sites consistently achieve scores of 95-100.

  • Accessible websites ensure everyone, including those with disabilities, can use your site. This increases your potential audience, complies with ADA guidelines, and protects against legal issues.

  • Even if we registered the domain for you, you own it completely. If you ever decide to end our partnership, we'll transfer full control of the domain to you.

  • Stuff happens, and we understand that! If you need to cancel before the 12-month term, we simply subtract what you've already paid from our standard $3800 price and you pay the difference.

  • Yes, we offer a money-back guarantee if we can't create a design you're happy with during the initial development phase. If we do end up moving foard and development starts, there are no refunds. From them on, refunds are at our discretion.

  • Every invoice includes a 7-day grace period. After that, a $25 late fee will be applied. We're very understanding and flexible with payment arrangements if you communicate with us - life happens, and we're here to help! However, if multiple invoices become overdue without any communication, we may need to terminate the contract, in which case the full site balance becomes due. We simply ask for open communication so we can work together to find a solution that works for everyone.

  • We're passionate about helping small businesses succeed! We remember what it's like starting out - every dollar counts. That's why we created a model that lets you get a professional, custom-coded website without a huge upfront investment. By spreading the cost over monthly payments, you can invest in other aspects of growing your business while still having a website that competes with the big players. It's our way of helping entrepreneurs thrive!

  • Our SEO services start at $700/month as a baseline investment, but final pricing depends on your goals and how aggressive you want to be with your growth strategy.

  • Our approach starts with a strong foundation. Every website we build includes essential on-page and technical SEO elements - from proper heading structures and meta descriptions to lightning-fast load times and mobile optimization. But for businesses looking to actively grow their online presence, our in-house SEO specialist can develop a comprehensive strategy that includes high-quality backlinks, strategic content creation, and ongoing optimization. Think of it like this: our websites are built SEO-ready, and our advanced SEO services help you fully capitalize on that foundation to drive more leads and growth.

  • Think of SEO like growing a garden - it takes time and consistent effort, but the results are worth the wait. Most businesses start seeing initial improvements in 6 months, with significant growth becoming visible around 6-12 months. This timeline varies based on your market competition and starting point. Some quick wins are possible early on, but building lasting authority with Google requires patience.

  • Our SEO expert will perform a comprehensive analysis of your website to identify technical issues and improvement opportunities. This crucial first step ensures your site's foundation is solid - because great content and backlinks won't help if there are underlying technical problems holding you back. We'll pinpoint exactly what needs fixing so your SEO efforts can reach their full potential.

  • Design, development, hosting, SSL, unlimited edits, 24/7 support, and maintenance. Additional services like SEO and logo design available.

  • Most clients stay with us for years due to our ongoing support and consistent results. Our average relationship is 3+ years.

  • For monthly subscription clients, the website remains active only while subscribed. After completing the 12-month minimum contract, you can cancel anytime, but the site will be taken down upon cancellation. For lump sum clients, you own the website completely and can request the files at any time. Lump sum clients can optionally continue hosting with us for $25/month and add unlimited edits for $50/month.

  • Simply email your requests to clearwaterwebdesigns@gmail.com. We aim to complete most edits within 24-48 hours. Whether it's text changes, image updates, or adding new content to existing pages, just let us know what you need.

  • Yes, all edits to existing content are truly unlimited. This includes updating images, text changes, contact information, prices, or any other content on your current pages. However, adding entirely new pages requires a one-time fee of $100 per page since it involves creating new designs and content from scratch.

  • Basic on-page SEO and technical SEO is included. Comprehensive SEO services are available as an additional service.
