Frequently asked questions
What is semi-custom website?
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.
How do I Choose a template?
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.
Do I need to have any additional subscriptions?
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.
Where is the website hosted?
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.
What platform do you use?
I use WordPress & Elementor platform for semi-custom launches, providing easy management for future updates.
What If I don't have a logo?
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.
Will this work for me?
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.
How do payments and payment plans work?
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.
For example, if your project costs £1250, you can choose:
- Standard Payment: 50% upfront (£625), with the remaining £625 due upon completion.
- 6-Month Payment Plan: The total cost, including 10% (£125) interest, would be £1375. This means 6 equal monthly payments of £229.17.
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.
What do I need to prepare?
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.
How long does the process take?
Two weeks from when I have everything I need!
Once your deposit is paid and all your content and information are provided, I’ll start working on your website. The timeline begins only after I have everything I need.
- Week 1: We’ll finalise your colour scheme, fonts, and any notes I have on your content and images.
- Week 2: I’ll add everything to the template, customise it to fit your brand, set up SEO, and take care of all the boring backend stuff—so you don’t have to! 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 all required content upfront.
Can I make changes to the site myself?
Your website will be set up so you can make simple edits, but most clients prefer to have me handle updates to keep everything running smoothly.
I’ll provide a basic walkthrough at the end of the project. If you’d like a more in-depth training session to learn how to manage and update your site yourself, this is available as an additional service for £100. I also ensure your site is fully backed up after major updates, and if anything goes wrong, I can restore the latest version as a separate service.
What if I don’t want to use the whole website template?
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.
If you’re not ready to have a blog or other features, I can make those sections private so they can be activated later when you need them. However, once the website is completed to the point of launch, the job will be considered complete, even if you are still making payments on a payment plan.
If you’d like these sections activated later or need any updates, I’ll be happy to do them at my hourly rate. Your website is built to grow with your business, and I will always be here for any additions or changes you may need.
Is a booking system included?
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.
What about google my business?
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.
Can I add to the website at a later date?
Yes, your semi-custom website is designed to grow with your business. While the initial setup includes everything outlined in your chosen package, you are not limited to just that. If you would like to add extra pages, features or content in the future, such as a blog, booking system, online shop or newsletter sign-up, this can be done at any time for an additional cost.
Ongoing updates and customisations are not included in the original price. However, I am always happy to help with changes as your business evolves. Your website is built on a flexible platform that makes it easy to develop and expand over time.
Do you offer a maintenece package?
I don’t offer a set maintenance package, but I am always just an email away if you ever need updates or changes to your website. I value my clients and believe in building long-term relationships, so I’ll be here whenever you need me.
Every request is different, and the time required will depend on the complexity of the work. Simple updates might take as little as 15 minutes, while more involved changes could take longer. I’ll always give you an estimate before starting so you know what to expect. Work is billed at my hourly rate.
