Frequently asked questions

With the semi-custom approach, you choose a pre-designed template, and I will personalise it with your content, branding, colours, and fonts while retaining the template’s layout.

You can explore the template selection here. I am available to offer suggestions based on your business needs and preferences. Once you have chosen a template that resonates with you, I’ll customise it to fit perfectly with your brand.

You’ll only need web hosting to start. The Elementor subscription, which is the fantastic plugin that gives your website its design, is included for the first year. After that, you’ll need to maintain an active subscription to continue using it. You can find more details here.

My preferred hosting plan is with IONOS, which includes a company email address and an SSL certificate (a secure website). You’ll pay a small monthly fee, along with a small yearly fee for your domain name. I’ll assist you with setting everything up.

I use WordPress & Elementor platform for semi-custom launches, providing easy management for future updates.

We can create a simple text-based logo to complement your new website design. This will be in the same font style you see on the template or from the main heading font you choose to change it to. If you wish to have a custom logo designed now or later, then have a look at our brand identity service here.

Our semi-custom process is ideal for various businesses, including photographers, bloggers, and coaches, but may not suit large online stores or businesses with extensive existing content. If you are interested in having a custom website designed then have a look at the custom web design service here.

We require a 50% upfront payment, with the remaining 50% due upon completion. However, we offer payment plans to accommodate your needs. These plans come with a 10% interest rate and can be extended over up to 6 monthly installments. Please note that until the payment is completed in full, Shuga Designs retains ownership of the website and reserves the right to take it offline if payment is not made as agreed.

I will work closely with you and guide you through the entire process. To start, it’s helpful to have an outline of your copy and a selection of images ready. I’ll assist you in setting up your hosting, provide content suggestions based on what you’ve shared, and help you choose the best images. If you don’t have images, I’ll direct you to both paid and free stock image options for you to explore.
Two weeks! Once your deposit is paid and all your information is provided, I’ll start working on your website. In the first week, we’ll finalise your colour scheme, fonts, and any notes I have on your content and images. By the end of the second week, your website will be ready to launch. Please note that this timeline depends on timely responses and receiving everything I need from you.
Of course! In our final meeting, I’ll provide you with a walkthrough on how to make simple edits to your site. I also ensure that your site is fully backed up after any significant updates. If you ever run into issues, I can restore the most recent backup version of your site, though this would be an additional service.

That’s not a problem. We can use part of the website. In some instances there are different layouts for the service pages, you can pick the one you like the best and we can replicate it, or we can use a different one for each service.

No, but if you’d like to use one, it can be easily integrated into the website. However, a booking system isn’t necessary—customers can simply call or email you to make appointments. If you do decide to set up a booking system, you can choose the option that works best for your business. Once it’s set up, you can provide us with a link to add to a button or the shortcode to embed it directly on the page.

This is very important for any business even without a physical location. You can get customers to leave reviews for you here. I will link the review button here if you have one. You will need to set this up and verify it. Start here.

Sure! Let’s say you are not ready to have a blog, I can make those sections private on the website so we can activate them at a later date. However, once the website is completed to the point of launch and it is paid in full the job will be considered complete. If you wish to have these sections activated, you will be billed at an hourly rate. The website is made to grow as your business grows and I will always be here for any additions or changes.

Yes, for an additional £50 per month, you can opt for a plan that includes monthly updates and up to 1 hour of website additions or changes. I’ll ensure your website is always up-to-date with the latest versions. Your Elementor subscription will also be covered for as long as you maintain this plan. The 1 hour of work can only be carried over, accumulating up to 3 hours before it expires.
