Other frequently asked about us questions

Will my website meet accessibility standards?

It’s important to note that the accessibility landscape is dynamic, and there isn’t a one-size-fits-all set of standards. We’re committed to incorporating all the best practices for accessibility, such as maintaining proper contrast ratios, accurately labeling links, providing alt tags to ensure screen readers can seamlessly navigate your site, and much more.

We often employ tools like the Accessibe plugin to keep up with evolving standards. This ensures that your website complies with the latest accessibility guidelines and provides an inclusive online experience for all users. It also offers some legal protections. Make sure to ask us more about this when we begin your project!

What is the typical timeline for completing a website design project?

The time it takes to finish a website project is like a choose-your-own-adventure story. It all depends on a few things. For example, putting together a simple 10-page brochure site when the client already has the text ready is a smooth and quicker ride compared to tackling a full-blown e-commerce site for a company with tons of products that also wants a fresh new look.

A basic informational website with just the essentials might wrap up in about 2 to 4 months. On the other hand, if yours is a complex e-commerce website with custom features, the journey could stretch beyond six months. Remember, these are ballpark estimates, and the actual timeline can vary based on all the nitty-gritty details.

What sets the pace are things like how complicated the project is, what features you need, the size and skills of the team working on it, and how quickly you can provide content and feedback. To speed things up, keep the communication flowing, make sure the project scope is crystal clear, and get content and feedback to us pronto. We’re all about tailoring the timeline to fit your project’s unique needs and priorities, so let’s make it an adventure together!
