Question 1

How much does a custom website cost?

Accepted Answer

A custom website is priced by scope — pages, features, and motion — not from a price list. We agree the full scope with you during the Story stage, and you approve it in writing before design begins. No surprises.

Question 2

How much does an e-commerce website cost to build?

Accepted Answer

An e-commerce website costs more than a brochure site because it carries a real store: products, checkout, payments, and an admin panel. We scope it with you before design begins — Court Hub, our live build, shows what end-to-end includes.

Question 3

Custom website vs template: which is better for my business?

Accepted Answer

A custom website is better when your site's job is to win customers; a template is fine when it only needs to exist. Templates make you look like everyone else — and buyers can tell. Every Bennett & Co site is designed and coded from scratch.

Question 4

Is a custom-coded website worth it?

Accepted Answer

Yes — if your website drives revenue, a custom-coded website is worth it. It loads faster, carries no platform fees, and you own every line. For a side project, a builder is fine. For a business buyers judge online, custom wins.

Question 5

What is a hand-coded website and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

A hand-coded website is written line by line for one brand, instead of assembled in a page builder. Nothing generic ships: pages load faster, search engines read them cleanly, and you own the result outright. Every Bennett & Co site is built this way.

Question 6

Should I hire a web designer or use a website builder (Wix/Squarespace)?

Accepted Answer

Use a website builder for a side project; hire a web designer when your website earns you money. Wix and Squarespace are fine for getting online fast. But if one lost customer costs you real money, don't leave the first impression to a template.

Question 7

How long does it take to build a custom website?

Accepted Answer

Build time depends on scope, and we set your timeline in writing during the Story stage — before design begins. You watch progress on a live preview link through four approved stages, so you always know where your project stands.

Question 8

Why isn't my website converting visitors into customers?

Accepted Answer

Most websites fail to convert for one of three reasons: slow pages, a template look, or a message that never says why you. We fix all three in one build — fast code, a design that's only yours, and a story written to sell.

Question 9

How do I know my website is outdated and needs a redesign?

Accepted Answer

Your website is outdated if you hesitate before sending someone the link. Other signs: it fights you on a phone, loads slowly, or looks like every competitor's template. Our website redesign service rebuilds the story, the design, and the code in one pass.

Question 10

Webflow / WordPress vs custom code — which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Choose Webflow or WordPress when you need to edit lots of content yourself; choose custom code when speed, originality, and ownership matter most. Custom code has no theme limits, no plugin bloat, no monthly platform fee — and the site is yours outright.

Question 11

Do you work with clients remotely / outside the US?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Bennett & Co works remotely, worldwide, from Sheridan, Wyoming. Court Hub was built for a brand in the UAE, every stage handled remotely. Four approved stages and a live preview link make distance easy. A human replies within a day.

Question 12

What's included in your custom web design service?

Accepted Answer

Every project includes brand and story strategy, custom design, cinematic motion, hand-built code, and care after launch — one studio, end to end. You approve each of the four stages, and nothing goes live without your yes.
