Questions · an interview with the practice
Asked often, answered once.
The questions prospective clients actually send, set down plainly. If yours isn't here, ask it — answers within 24 hours.
Q.01How long does a website take?continued…
A focused single page: about two weeks from scoping call to launch. A multi-page site like this one: four to eight weeks depending on how much of it computes. You get a fixed written quote — scope, timeline, price — within 48 hours of the first call, and the timeline in the quote is the timeline.
Q.02Do you work from templates to keep costs down?continued…
No. Everything is written by hand — that is the practice, not a tier. What keeps costs honest is scope: a small site is genuinely small, not a large template with features switched off. If a template is truly the right answer for your budget, I'll say so and point you somewhere good; you would be overpaying me otherwise.
Q.03Can my site look nothing like yours?continued…
Yes — please. The paper-and-red edition you're reading is my taste, not a constraint. The Showroom exists to prove it: four complete looks — dark aurora, loud pop, calm pastel, silent monochrome — each hand-coded with the same guarantees underneath. Your register gets designed for you.
Q.04What does "AI features" actually mean for my project?continued…
Concretely: retrieval over your documents so your site or team can ask them questions; models evaluated and integrated properly (or trained from scratch when that's genuinely warranted); pipelines that read, classify, and route what your business receives. The figures on this site are the capability demonstration — a transformer I trained runs live in your browser right now.
Q.05Who owns the work when it's done?continued…
You do — source, fonts, deploy keys, documentation, all of it, at handover. No retainers required to keep your own site alive, no lock-in to me or to a platform. It's written into the agreement, next to the performance and zero-tracker guarantees.
Q.06Why won't you print prices on the site?continued…
Because honest prices come from scope, and scope comes from a conversation. What I fix instead is the process around the price: the scoping call is free, the quote arrives in writing within 48 hours, and it doesn't drift afterward. No meter, no surprises — the number you accept is the number you pay.
Q.07What happens after launch if something breaks?continued…
Defects in what I shipped are mine to fix, full stop. Beyond that, hand-coded static sites have very little that can rot — no plugins to patch, no CMS to update — and you'll have the documentation to make changes yourself. When you'd rather I make them, replies come within 24 hours.
