FAQs

No, but I’m happy to guide you. You’ll need to purchase a domain and hosting plan separately. I can recommend trustworthy providers like BlueHost, IONOS, or others that fit your budget and goals.

Yes! As long as you provide hosting credentials (FTP or cPanel access), I’ll handle the deployment and setup at no additional cost once the project is completed and full payment has been received.

It is best for your vision that you provide your own content. I can suggest the wording of certain areas, but the final approval will still be yours. I can also search for copyright-free images and videos; if they are not to your liking, I will suggest leading image and video repos online for you to acquire content which you may provide to me for website integration.

I can integrate platforms like Stripe, PayPal, Shopify Checkout, or Ecwid’s built-in payment options. This includes connecting them to your site and ensuring they appear and function properly.

Note: This does not include building a custom payment backend from scratch.

I offer e-commerce product management as an add-on service. During development, I can add or remove products for $50 per item. After your site goes live, you’ll still be able to handle store maintenance yourself through the user-friendly Ecwid dashboard, or request future updates by contacting me directly.

Yes, as an additional option (included for free with the Premier Site package). You must provide the embed code or account credentials for your existing newsletter service (like Mailchimp, Brevo, Constant Contact, etc.). I’ll take care of the integration.

Yes! It’s available as a $250 add-on with any website package, or can be purchased separately with a custom quote.

Yes, of course. Delivery time begins once I receive all required materials. If there’s a delay in receiving content or approvals, the working deadline will adjust accordingly.

I hand-code your site using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in Visual Studio Code for clean, fast-loading results. I also work with tools like Ecwid, Brevo, and various Google APIs (Maps, Calendar, etc.) as needed.

While I generally avoid WordPress in favor of static or custom-built sites, I do offer WordPress support upon request with a custom quote.

I don’t typically focus on fixing or editing existing websites. However, if you love your current design or layout, I recommend a site rebuild from scratch with fresh, optimized code. That said, I’m happy to review your site’s current codebase and let you know whether I can provide a quote for a website revamp or ongoing management.

Yes, SEO setup is available as an add-on. I’ll implement essential on-page SEO fundamentals—like meta tags, alt attributes, semantic HTML, mobile responsiveness, and performance tuning—to give your site a solid, search-friendly foundation. While no rankings or traffic guarantees can be made (due to the many variables involved in SEO), I ensure all practices are aligned with current industry standards and best practices.

Testimonials

Working with Paul Bennis has been an absolute game-changer for our company. He not only designed us an amazing website but also resolved a major email server issue that was costing us thousands of dollars a month. Paul was always available, patient, and took the time to answer every question. He even went to bat for us with tech companies, dealing with the frustrations of their customer service so we didn't have to. Paul knows the language, knows the systems, and knows exactly how to handle issues before they become problems. We're customers for life, and we can confidently say-you won't be disappointed with his services!
