FAQ: Website Development Timelines, Costs and Support

Answers on timelines, pricing, multilingual and SEO support, maintenance fees, payment methods, source code ownership and hosting for your website project.

How long does a website project take?

It depends on scope: a landing page takes about 5-7 business days, a corporate website 3-4 weeks, and a multilingual B2B trade site 6-10 weeks. Once requirements and materials are confirmed, you get a firm timeline and preview links throughout development.

How is pricing calculated?

Quotes are based on page count, number of languages and feature scope: landing pages from $350, corporate sites from $1,000, B2B trade sites from $2,700. The scope is written down before you pay, and nothing inside the agreed scope is charged extra. New requests are quoted separately.

Which languages do you support? Can you build an Arabic site?

We build sites in Chinese, English, Japanese, Arabic, Russian and more. Arabic is supported with full right-to-left (RTL) layout. Multilingual sites are configured with proper hreflang tags so search engines index each language version correctly.

Is SEO included?

Every project includes technical SEO foundations: semantic HTML, unique titles and descriptions per page, a sitemap, structured data (JSON-LD), mobile optimization and performance tuning. Keyword and content strategy can be discussed during consultation.

How does maintenance work after launch?

Maintenance is billed per task from $55 depending on workload — content updates, bug fixes and small improvements, with no long-term contract. Since you own the source code, you are also free to have any other team maintain the site.

What payment methods do you accept?

You can pay the 30% deposit online by card through Stripe directly on this site; the balance is due before delivery. If a card payment is not convenient, contact us to arrange another method.

Who owns the source code?

After the final payment, the complete source code, database schema and deployment documentation belong to you. There is no platform or code-level lock-in — you can deploy, modify or hand the project to another team freely.

Do I need to provide my own hosting and domain?

Either way works. You can supply your own server and domain and we handle deployment, or we recommend a suitable cloud server (paid by you directly to the provider) and help with DNS and HTTPS setup.
