Things people ask.
If something's not here, just ask. Email build@avaradesigns.com or book a call — we'd rather have the conversation than write more copy.
How long does it take?
Most sites are live within days, not months. Timeline depends on complexity and how fast you can review. Once we have your sign-off on the preview, the full build is usually a week.
What does it cost?
We don't post pricing publicly because every project is shaped around the business. The free preview is genuinely free, and we'll give you a flat number on the call before any work begins. If you're curious about ballpark — most local-business sites we've shipped land between $1,500 and $4,000.
Do you do ongoing maintenance?
Yes. We offer monthly plans that include hosting, updates, security patches, and ongoing improvements. Ask about this on your call. Plans are optional — you can also self-manage or hire someone else.
Will I own my website?
Yes. You own your content and your domain. We handle hosting as part of your monthly plan — your site stays fast, secure, and updated without you thinking about it. If you ever leave, you take the site with you.
Do you work with businesses that don't have a site yet?
Absolutely. In some ways it's easier — we build fresh with no baggage.
Is there a contract?
Yes. Before any work begins we send a simple agreement covering scope, ownership, payment, and timeline. No legal jargon — just clarity for both sides.
Do I have to use a specific host or platform?
Nope. We deploy your site wherever makes sense — Netlify, Vercel, your existing host, even your own server. Your site, your call.
What about SEO?
Every site we build ships with SEO basics: schema markup, semantic HTML, fast load times, mobile-first layout, sitemap, and meta tags written for the business. We're not an SEO agency — we don't run monthly SEO retainers — but the foundation we ship with is what most "SEO experts" charge thousands to add later.
What if I need changes later?
If you're on a monthly plan, content edits are included. If you're not, we'll quote small changes by the hour. Either way: no agency-style six-week change-request loops.
Will I work with one person or a team?
Avara is small on purpose. You'll talk to a real designer-builder — no account managers, no offshore handoffs, no "let me check with the team." Small enough to ship fast, focused enough to ship well.
Still have questions?
Easier to ask than to read. Book a free 20-minute call and we'll answer anything.
