Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to receive my website preview?
Once you complete the website preview form, our team reviews the information you provided and begins preparing the foundation of your website. In most cases, you’ll receive a preview shortly after submission (less than 48 hours) so you can see the direction of your website before moving forward with full development.
Do I need to have a logo before starting?
No. If your business does not currently have a logo or established visual identity, you can still complete the preview process. A logo can be incorporated later as part of the branding and website development process.
If you’re interested in developing a professional brand identity, FORGE Creative Co. also offers logo design and branding services that help ensure your website presents your business clearly and professionally.
Can I change the design framework later?
Yes. The design framework you choose simply helps establish the visual direction of your website preview. During the full website development process, the design can be refined and adjusted to better match your brand and business needs.
What happens after I receive my website preview?
Once you review the preview, we typically schedule a short conversation to discuss your goals for the website and determine the next steps. From there, we refine the design, messaging, and functionality to complete your full website.
Is the preview my finished website?
The preview represents the foundation of your website, not the finished product. It allows you to see how your business could appear online using the design framework you selected.
The full website development process includes refining messaging, incorporating branding elements, and customizing the site to fit your business.
How much does a typical website project cost?
Website projects vary depending on the size and complexity of the site, but most small business websites fall within a professional project range. After reviewing your website preview and discussing your goals, we’ll provide a clear recommendation for completing your website.
