Website FAQ
What about analytics and privacy?
I don’t use Google Analytics. It’s heavy, invasive, and tracks people in ways most visitors don’t realise. On top of that, Google has been linked to human rights violations, including providing cloud services to military projects, which I don’t ...
What makes a site low-carbon?
Lean code, optimised images, efficient and green hosting, and no unnecessary extras. I also check site performance using Website Carbon so we can measure and report your impact.
What happens if my needs change once we’ve started?
That’s normal. Projects evolve. If you realise you need something different (for example, adding extra pages, changing functionality, or rethinking design direction), we’ll pause and review. Here’s how it works: ✦ Small tweaks (like changing copy or ...
What will you need from me?
Your words, your images (or the option to source them together), and timely feedback. I’ll give you a simple checklist to keep it clear.
How long does it take for a new website?
Most builds take 3–8 weeks, depending on: ✦ The number of pages and functionality requirements ✦ How ready your content is and; ✦ How quickly you respond to feedback requests.
Can we spread payments?
Yes. We can agree on a payment rhythm that works for both of us.
What costs should I expect besides design?
You’ll need: ✦ A domain (your web address) – usually £5–15* per year. ✦ Hosting (where your site lives online) – if you use Krystal, plans start at about £5/month. ✦ Premium plugins (optional) – these add features like advanced forms, SEO, or ...
What’s possible within my budget?
It depends on what you want your site to do. A smaller budget can still go far if we keep things simple. For example, a clean one-page site can tell your story beautifully and be light to run. If you have more to invest, we can expand into a ...
Do you offer training or support?
Yes. I’ll walk you through editing your site and provide simple guides so you can manage it on your own. Ongoing support is available if you want it.
Who owns the site?
You do. The domain name, your content, and the hosting account are all yours. I don’t “lock” you into anything. Depending on your budget and setup, I may provide you with access to certain premium plugins under my licence. These are included while I ...
Do you work with Squarespace or Wix?
Not from scratch. Squarespace makes it hard to build efficient, low-carbon sites. If you already have one, I can help refine or simplify it. I don’t work with Wix at all. Wix is listed on the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement website ...
Are we a good fit?
Most likely, if: ✦ You value care, clarity, and low-carbon choices. ✦ You’re a freelancer, artist, small business, collective, or charity. ✦ You want a simple site that reflects your work without tricks.
