FAQs
How do I separate a development problem from a design problem?
A broken form, unreliable interaction, or hard-to-maintain page system points toward development. Confusing layout or weak visual hierarchy points toward design. Describe the visitor task that fails, the affected page, and the device used; that evidence helps scope the actual problem.
What needs preserving when website functionality changes?
Identify existing URLs, working inquiry routes, business content, analytics, and third-party connections before implementation. Review the changes in a test environment and confirm the important visitor paths afterward. A technical improvement should not silently remove a useful page or break the way inquiries reach the business.
How long does Website Development take?
Stage 4 confirms the work schedule after reviewing access, priorities, approvals, and technical complexity. Billable work time is different from the time needed to see marketing results. An hourly minimum is not a completion estimate or a promise of rankings or leads.
Is Website Development included in a monthly package?
Some parts of this service may be included in Starter Visibility, Local Growth, or Market Leader depending on the package scope. Stage 4 can confirm what is included before work begins.
Can I hire Stage 4 for Website Development as a standalone service?
Yes. Individual services contracted outside of a monthly package are billed at the ancillary service rate of $165/hour, with most requests requiring a minimum of 1.5-2.5 hours depending on scope and complexity.
