Bluffton Web Design — FAQ
How much does a website cost in Bluffton?
+Most local business websites land between $950 for a single-page site and $3,950 for a full multi-page site — a one-time cost, with no monthly platform fees. You can see the full breakdown on the Services page, or reach out for a custom quote.
Do we need to meet in person?
+We can do whatever works for you. Being local in Bluffton, I'm happy to meet in person for coffee — but many clients prefer to handle everything by phone, email, and video. Either way, you get the same hands-on service.
Do you only work with Bluffton businesses?
+Bluffton is home base, and I love working with local businesses — but I also build for clients across Hilton Head, Beaufort, Savannah, and nationwide. Wherever you are, the process is smooth and personal.
Why hire a local designer instead of using Wix or Squarespace?
+Template builders lock you into monthly fees and slow, cookie-cutter sites. A hand-coded site loads faster, ranks better on Google, looks unique to your brand, and is yours to keep — no subscription, no platform holding your business hostage.
How long does it take to build my site?
+A single-page site takes about 1–2 weeks, a standard multi-page site 2–3 weeks, and a larger professional site 3–5 weeks — depending on how quickly we get your content and feedback.
