Services / what I actually do

Design isthe start.Not the end.

The useful part is having one person think through the look, the build, the search basics, the mobile experience, and what happens after launch.

The fit

Good fit

You care how the business feels.

You want something specific, are willing to make decisions, and would rather have a strong point of view than a safe template.

Good fit

You want one person accountable.

You work directly with the person making the decisions and building the site.

Probably not

You just need the cheapest possible page.

There are good tools for that. This is for businesses that want the site itself to be part of how the business presents and sells itself.

Before we start

Who owns the domain?

You do. Whenever possible, the domain stays in an account you control. I connect the website to it without making your business dependent on my account.

Who owns the website and its code?

Your project agreement explains ownership before work begins, so there is no surprise after launch. Your business name, writing, photography and brand assets remain yours. Any reusable tools or third-party software involved are identified separately.

Where is the website hosted, and who pays for it?

The hosting setup is chosen before the build and explained in plain language. You will know where the site lives, who controls the account and whether there is an ongoing hosting cost before anything launches.

Can I move the website to someone else later?

Yes. Your domain is not held hostage, and I will provide the access or handoff information another qualified developer needs. If a platform creates a real limitation, I explain it before choosing that platform.

How do I request updates after launch?

You contact me directly. Small content changes, new sections and larger improvements are reviewed and clearly scoped before the work starts.

How quickly can a small change be made?

It depends on the request and the current schedule. A text or image change is usually simpler than a new page or feature. I confirm the timing before starting, so you are not left guessing.

Do I need to provide the writing and photos?

You bring the facts, business knowledge and any existing brand materials. I help organize the message, shape the page and identify what is missing. If stronger photography or additional writing is needed, we make that plan before it delays the build.

What if I do not like the first design direction?

The first direction is based on a real conversation about the business, customers and goals. You will have a clear opportunity to explain what is not working, and the agreed revision process is included in the project proposal.

Do you work with businesses outside Philadelphia?

Yes. WebDotMe is based in Philadelphia and works remotely with businesses elsewhere. Local projects benefit from firsthand knowledge of the area, but the process does not require us to be in the same city.

What platform do you build on?

I choose the approach that fits the project instead of forcing every business into the same template. Most builds use modern custom web technology, and the platform, hosting and editing options are explained before development begins.
