Questions we hear a lot

Still wondering about something? Don't be shy to ask.

What does a website cost?

It depends on the type of site, the functionality, and any upgrades. The typical structure is a one-time setup fee plus a monthly plan for hosting, maintenance, and support. For public agencies and grant-funded projects we can also bill setup and the first year as a single line item. See our pricing page for the details, and contact us for an estimate tailored to your project.

How fast can you deliver?

Initial review versions are typically ready within 1 to 4 weeks, depending on your needs and the complexity of the build. Expedited delivery is available for an additional fee.

Will I be able to edit my own site?

Yes, if your site includes the editing dashboard. The editable site and every public agency site come with it. The essential site does not, so changes to it go through us. During development you comment directly on the site as it takes shape. At launch we train your team to manage content themselves, including events, calendars, photos, and documents, so you are never stuck waiting on a third party. Your monthly plan also includes revision time from us: 1 hour each month on the basic plan, 2 hours on the standard and concierge plans.

Why don't you build on WordPress?

WordPress is a fine tool, but even a straightforward site often ends up a square peg in a round hole: close to what you wanted, not exactly. We build yours exactly how you want it, usually for less. There's no plugin maintenance either, which is most of what a WordPress plan bills for, and no plugin vulnerabilities, which are the most common way small business sites get hacked. Plugins also run out. When you need booking, a portal, or a connection to software you already use, we build it instead of hunting for an add-on that almost fits.

Isn't custom expensive?

Not the way we do it. We don't start from scratch. We build on our own framework, which gets sharper with every project, and that's how a two-person shop delivers custom work in weeks instead of months. Plus you own it outright and can edit it yourself.

Can you use my existing domain?

Yes, as long as you own it. Your visitors won't notice the switch.

What areas do you serve?

We are local to Glens Falls, Saratoga, the Adirondacks, and the Capital Region of Upstate New York, and we serve clients virtually anywhere.

Didn't the ADA website deadline get pushed back?

Yes, by one year. In April 2026 the Department of Justice extended both compliance dates under the ADA Title II web rule. Public entities with a population of 50,000 or more now have until April 26, 2027. Smaller entities and all special district governments now have until April 26, 2028. Nothing else changed: the standard is still WCAG 2.1 Level AA, and it still covers websites, mobile apps, and the documents posted on them. Most towns and villages in this region fall under the 2028 date, and the larger counties under 2027. Migrating content, getting board approval, and running procurement can easily fill the runway that is left.

Who has to meet WCAG accessibility standards?

More organizations than most people expect, not just municipalities. State and local governments are covered under ADA Title II, which now has firm compliance dates. Businesses open to the public are covered under ADA Title III, where demand letters over inaccessible websites are common. Nonprofits that offer services to the public are covered too, and nonprofits that receive federal funding also fall under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which carries its own compliance dates in 2027 and 2028.

What makes you different?

Every site is custom, with functionality that template shops cannot offer. We are local and responsive, with face-to-face service. Everything is built so you own it, and we price without big-agency overhead. We also know public agencies, procurement, and municipal work firsthand.
