Top 10 Boston Web Design FAQs

People often ask us questions about Boston web design, so we have compiled a list of the top 10 frequently asked questions.

FAQ 1: When considering a Boston web design project, what should I look for in a company?

Answer: There are many options out there, so I always advise people to consider how long a company has been in business, review their client testimonials, and, most importantly, examine their portfolio to ensure they produce the type of work you need.

FAQ 2: How much should I expect to pay for web design?

Answer: This can vary widely. Some companies offer packaged pricing, but signing up for a package without understanding your specific needs often results in overpaying. At RooSites, we price web design projects individually based on the exact requirements of each client.

FAQ 3: Do I have to arrange my own web hosting?

Answer: We host and maintain 99% of the websites we build. Our service plans are based on the number of hours each company requires, ensuring clients only pay for what they need without being overcharged for small updates.

FAQ 4: What platform is best for my website?

Answer: The best platform depends on your website’s purpose. For most businesses, WordPress is an excellent choice because it is search engine friendly and allows clients to add their own posts easily. For example, many clients manage their own blog posts but rely on us for more complex tasks.

FAQ 5: Will I need ongoing maintenance and updates?

Answer: Yes, ongoing maintenance and updates are essential. If software, plugins, and themes are not kept up to date, your site becomes vulnerable to security threats. That is why we offer service plans tailored to each company’s needs, whether you require minimal monthly support or several hours.

FAQ 6: How will site speed and performance be optimized?

Answer: We use industry-leading hosting and optimize our websites to ensure excellent performance and search engine success.

FAQ 7: Will my website be scalable for future needs?

Answer: Scalability depends on your hosting, platform, and web development partner. We plan ahead for future growth. For example, if a company does not initially need e-commerce functionality but will in the future, we use platforms that allow us to add features as needed.

FAQ 8: How will analytics be integrated so I can track performance?

Answer: We implement tracking software to monitor website performance. For some businesses, Google Analytics is ideal, while others prefer simpler statistics plugins that provide robust data with enhanced privacy.

FAQ 9: How many revisions are included in the project fee?

Answer: We do not charge extra for revisions. Your website is not complete until you are fully satisfied. Be cautious of companies that charge by the revision, as costs can increase significantly.

FAQ 10: Will I own the design and code after completion?

Answer: Once your project is paid for, you own your website’s code and can move it at any time after your contract obligations are met. This is one reason we use WordPress rather than proprietary platforms where you don’t actually own your site.

FAQ 11: Will there be training on how to use and update the site?

Answer: Yes, training is included as part of our design and development process. We never charge extra for teaching clients how to use their sites. You should be cautious of companies that do charge for this – it’s like buying a car and being charged extra to learn how to use its features.
