General
Still have a question?
Ask us directly — you’ll get a straight answer from the team that does the work.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, features, integrations, content and design depth. After a short conversation we send a written quote with exactly what is included. Our packages give a starting point, but every project is scoped individually.
How long does it take to build a website?
Timelines depend on the size of the site and how quickly content and feedback are ready. Your proposal includes a timeline with clear milestones, and we keep you updated at each stage.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Yes. We build on WordPress or a custom admin panel so you can edit pages, images, FAQs, blog posts and more without touching code. We include a walkthrough at handover.
Do you provide hosting and domain registration?
We advise on suitable hosting and can set it up for you, but accounts are registered in your name so you always keep ownership and control.
Can you guarantee first-page Google rankings?
No one can honestly guarantee rankings — search engines decide them. We follow recognised best practices for technical SEO, content and site structure, and report transparently on what is improving.
Can you redesign my website without losing search traffic?
Yes. We map old URLs to new ones, set up 301 redirects, carry over titles and descriptions, and check everything in Search Console after launch to protect existing visibility.
Do you work with clients outside Ahmedabad?
Yes. We work with businesses across India and overseas through video calls, shared staging links and written updates. Local clients can also meet us in person.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your goals, a rough list of pages or features, examples of websites you like, your logo and any existing content. If you don’t have everything yet, we help you plan it.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes. We offer maintenance and support covering updates, backups, security monitoring, small changes and ongoing improvements.
Website design & development
Still have a question?
Ask us directly — you’ll get a straight answer from the team that does the work.
What is the difference between website design and website development?
Website design decides how the site looks and how people move through it, while development turns that design into working code. Design covers layout, typography, colour and user experience. Development covers the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, content management system, forms, database and hosting. We handle both in one project so the final site matches what was designed and performs well.
How much does website design and development cost?
The cost depends on the number of pages, the amount of custom functionality, content requirements and the platform chosen. A focused business site and a site with bookings, member areas or integrations are very different projects. Share your requirements and we will send a clear, itemised quote, or you can compare our standard website plans first.
Do you use templates or design from scratch?
We design layouts specifically for your business rather than reselling a purchased theme as-is. For WordPress projects we may use a lightweight base theme or Elementor where it genuinely helps your team edit pages, but the structure, styling and components are planned around your content and brand.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Yes, most sites we build include an admin panel where you can edit text, images, blog posts and pages. We set up editing so that it is difficult to break the layout by accident, and we provide a walkthrough at handover. For fully static sites, updates are handled by us as part of support.
Is SEO included in website development?
On-page SEO foundations are included: clean URLs, heading structure, editable meta tags, schema markup, an XML sitemap, image optimization and Search Console setup. Ongoing SEO work such as keyword research, content creation and link building is a separate service, because it continues long after the website is launched.
WordPress
Still have a question?
Ask us directly — you’ll get a straight answer from the team that does the work.
Is WordPress suitable for a serious business website?
Yes, provided it is built and maintained properly. WordPress is used by small firms and large publishers alike. Problems usually come from heavy themes, unmaintained plugins and poor hosting rather than WordPress itself. With a lean build, regular updates and good hosting, it is a stable, flexible platform for most business websites.
How much does a WordPress website cost?
The cost depends on the number of pages, design complexity, integrations and how much content we need to prepare. A simple company site and a multilingual site with custom features are very different projects. Share your requirements or compare our WordPress plans, and we will send a quote based on your actual scope.
Will I be able to edit the website myself?
Yes. We set up structured content fields and reusable blocks so you can edit text, images, pages and blog posts without touching code. At handover we walk your team through the admin panel and share short notes on the tasks you will do most often.
Do you use page builders like Elementor?
Only when it suits the project. For most sites we prefer the native block editor with custom blocks, because it is lighter and easier to maintain. If your marketing team specifically wants visual drag-and-drop editing, we offer a disciplined Elementor build instead.
Who owns the website and its files after launch?
You do. The domain, hosting account, WordPress admin access, theme files and content belong to your business. We recommend keeping the domain and hosting in your own name, and we hand over all credentials and documentation once the project is complete.
WooCommerce & e-commerce
Still have a question?
Ask us directly — you’ll get a straight answer from the team that does the work.
Is WooCommerce good for Indian online stores?
Yes. WooCommerce works well for Indian stores because it supports INR pricing, GST configuration, COD and integrations with popular Indian payment gateways and shipping aggregators. It is free to use, with costs coming from hosting, development and any premium extensions, and you keep full ownership of your store and customer data.
Can WooCommerce handle a large number of products?
Yes, if the store is built and hosted properly. Stores with thousands of products run on WooCommerce, but they need good hosting, object caching, efficient filters and clean product data. We plan these elements from the start when you expect a large catalogue or high order volume.
WooCommerce or Shopify: which should I choose?
Choose WooCommerce if you want full ownership, no sales commission, deep customisation and content alongside your store. Hosted platforms like Shopify suit businesses that want a fully managed service and accept monthly fees, app costs and platform limits. We build on WooCommerce and will tell you honestly if it is not the right fit.
Can you add WooCommerce to my existing WordPress site?
Yes, in most cases. We first check that your theme, plugins and hosting can support a store reliably. If the existing site is outdated or heavy, we may suggest combining the shop launch with a theme update so the store starts on a solid foundation rather than inheriting performance problems.
What does a WooCommerce store cost to build?
It depends on the number of products, design requirements, payment and shipping integrations, and any extensions needed. A focused catalogue store is a different scope from a store with complex variations and integrations. Compare our WooCommerce plans or send your requirements for a tailored quote.
SEO
Still have a question?
Ask us directly — you’ll get a straight answer from the team that does the work.
How long does SEO take to show results?
There is no fixed timeline, and anyone who promises one is guessing. It depends on how competitive your searches are, your site’s history and authority, how many technical issues exist, and how quickly changes are implemented. Technical fixes can show up in Search Console within weeks, while competitive commercial terms usually take sustained work over many months.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings?
No. Google and other search engines decide rankings, and their systems change constantly. What we can commit to is doing the work properly: fixing technical problems, improving pages, building local signals and reporting clearly. Any agency guaranteeing positions is either measuring obscure keywords or using tactics that put your site at risk.
Do you build backlinks?
We do not buy links, use private blog networks or join link schemes, because these break Google’s spam policies. We help you earn mentions through useful content, supplier and partner relationships, industry directories that real people use, and digital PR where it fits. The focus stays on links that would make sense even if search engines did not exist.
What is AEO or GEO, and do you offer it?
Answer engine optimization and generative engine optimization describe making content easy for AI search features and assistants to understand and cite. It is an evolving area without settled rules. We focus on what is known to help: accurate, clearly structured content, direct answers to real questions, solid structured data and a technically accessible website.
What do your monthly SEO reports include?
Each report lists the work completed that month, the pages changed, and trends from Google Search Console and GA4 such as impressions, clicks, top queries and conversions. We explain what moved and what did not, flag any new technical issues, and set out the priorities for the following month in plain language.
Graphic design & branding
Still have a question?
Ask us directly — you’ll get a straight answer from the team that does the work.
How many revisions are included in a graphic design project?
The number of revision rounds is agreed in the proposal before work begins, based on the size of the project. We find that a clear brief and consolidated feedback from one decision-maker matter more than the count itself. Changes outside the agreed scope, such as a new concept after approval, are discussed and quoted separately.
Which file formats will I receive?
You receive print-ready PDFs for anything going to press and PNG or JPG files for screens. For logos and vector artwork we also supply AI, EPS and SVG. Where it is part of the agreed scope, we hand over editable source files in Illustrator, InDesign or Figma so your team or a future designer can update them.
Who owns the designs once the project is complete?
Once the project is paid in full, ownership of the final approved artwork created for you is transferred to your business, as set out in the proposal. Unused concepts and our internal working files are not part of that transfer unless agreed. Licensed stock photos or fonts remain under their own licence terms, which we explain upfront.
Do you handle printing as well?
We prepare files to your printer’s specifications and can coordinate with a printer you choose, but printing itself is billed by the printer. Before finalising, we ask for their requirements on bleed, colour profile and paper so the files match. If you don’t have a printer, we can suggest what to ask for when getting quotes.
Can you use stock images in my designs?
Yes, but we explain the trade-off first. Licensed stock photos are fast and affordable, yet competitors may use the same images. Original photography or custom illustration costs more but belongs to your brand alone. Any stock images we use come from licensed sources, and we tell you which licence applies so there are no surprises later.
