Questions
How much does a website cost?
$900 for one page, $1,900 for up to 8 pages and $3,200 for up to 15 pages and two languages. The homepage mockup is free.
Is the mockup really free?
Yes. We make a homepage mockup after your request or brief. If you like it, we sign a contract and you pay the deposit. If you do not, you owe nothing. One mockup per client; files are handed over after payment.
Do I pay before I see anything?
No. You pay the 50% deposit only after you like the mockup and sign the contract.
How does payment work?
50% deposit after the mockup and the contract, and the remaining 50% at launch. The first-year domain cost is deducted from the second payment.
How long does it take?
Starter takes 5–7 business days, Business 10–15 and Business+ 15–20. The clock starts the day we receive your materials: service descriptions, photos and a phone number.
Who writes the text for my site?
We do. You describe your business in the brief, in English, Russian or Spanish, we write the copy and you approve every word before launch.
Who owns the site and the domain?
You. You buy the domain in your own name and receive the code and all access at launch.
Do I buy the domain myself?
Yes, in your own account with your own card, and we help. We deduct its first-year cost from your second payment.
What does hosting cost?
$0 a month. The site runs on Cloudflare’s free plan in your own account. If a paid plan were ever needed, we would tell you in advance; it starts from $5 a month.
What happens after launch?
For 14 days we fix errors for free. For three months we care for the site at no charge: small edits, monitoring, form checks. After that it is optional.
How much does site care cost?
Care is $39 a month and Care+ is $89 a month. Without a plan the site keeps working.
Can I edit the site myself?
The sites are prebuilt pages, not a drag-and-drop editor. Small edits are done by us: up to 30 minutes a month on Care and up to two hours on Care+.
What does the SEO setup include?
Technical SEO on every site: page titles and descriptions, structured data, a sitemap, Search Console connection, an indexing request and fast mobile pages. At delivery you get a dated Lighthouse SEO screenshot, 100 out of 100, and after 30 days a search-impressions report.
Will I be first on Google?
Nobody can honestly promise that. The setup prepares your site; rankings depend on competitors, reviews and time.
Do you set up my Google Maps profile?
Yes, it is included in every package. See Google Business Profile setup.
Do we need to talk on the phone?
No. Everything is in writing: a 15-question brief, the mockup by message and edits in writing.
How do I contact you and how fast do you reply?
Write to hello@sitesproven.com or use the brief. We reply in writing within one business day.
Which languages do you work in?
English, Spanish and Russian, for the sites and for our messages. See bilingual website design.
What do you not do?
User accounts and logins, and custom-coded payment processing. We do not promise leads or first place in search, we do not guarantee “ADA compliance” and we do not make up reviews.
Can you add online booking?
On Business+ we embed a ready-made booking service, and the subscription is yours, or build a simple price calculator based on your rules.
How many rounds of edits are included?
Two rounds in Starter and Business, three in Business+. The free mockup includes one round.
What if I need more than the package includes?
Work beyond the agreed scope is $60 an hour and quoted in advance.
Can you redesign my current site?
Yes, at the same package prices. See website redesign.
Do you maintain sites you did not build?
Write to us with the address; we check first whether we can take it on and quote before any work.
What data do you collect?
Only what you send in a request or brief. Your brief answers stay on your phone until you press Send, and we count page visits without names. See the privacy policy; you can ask us to delete your data at any time.
