Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some of the more common queries
WordPress Managed Hosting Questions
-
What is managed WordPress hosting, and why do I need it?
Managed WordPress hosting combines server space with complete technical management of your WordPress website, eliminating the need for you to handle updates, security, and technical maintenance.
Think of it like the difference between leasing a car and hiring a personal chauffeur with a luxury vehicle. Traditional hosting just gives you the “car” (server space), while managed hosting provides the “chauffeur” who handles everything for you. With managed WordPress hosting, you never need to worry about updates, security patches, speed optimization, or fixing technical issues, it’s all handled for you by experts who know exactly what they’re doing.
-
How is your service different from other WordPress hosting companies?
Unlike typical hosting providers, we offer true concierge-level service with dedicated WordPress experts who handle everything technical while providing personalized attention to your specific business needs.
Most hosting companies, even those advertising “managed” services, still expect you to handle many technical aspects yourself. They might update WordPress core files but leave plugin management to you. Or they’ll offer support but only if you can explain the technical issue correctly. Our approach is completely different: we proactively handle everything technical, communicate in plain English (not tech jargon), and treat your website as an important business asset rather than just another account on our server.
-
Can I move my existing WordPress website to your hosting?
Yes, we offer free migration of existing WordPress websites to our hosting platform, handling the entire process to ensure minimal downtime and no loss of content.
Moving a website can seem scary, but with our migration service, you don’t have to worry about a thing. Our team will create a complete copy of your existing site on our servers, test everything thoroughly, and then handle the switchover at a time that’s convenient for you. Your visitors won’t experience any downtime, you won’t lose any content or data, and all your emails and other services will continue to function seamlessly.
-
What if I already have hosting but need help managing my WordPress site?
Our Customer-Hosted Management service provides all the technical maintenance and support benefits without requiring you to change hosting providers.
Not ready to move your hosting? No problem. Our management service gives you all the benefits of our WordPress expertise while keeping your site on your current hosting platform. We’ll handle all updates, security monitoring, performance optimization, and technical support just as if your site was hosted with us. This is particularly valuable if you’re locked into a contract with another provider or have specific reasons to stay with your current host.
-
Do you help with content updates, or just technical maintenance?
Yes, all our plans include assistance with content updates, from simple text changes to adding new pages or blog posts. Once you are a client, On-Demand content creation will be available to you at competitive rates.
We understand that the ability to easily update your website content is critical. That’s why all our plans include some level of content update assistance. Need to change text on your homepage? Add a new team member to your about page? Upload a new product? We’ve got you covered. For more substantial content needs, we offer discounted content services for active clients.
-
What happens if my site crashes or has technical issues?
Our team monitors your site 24/7 and responds immediately to any technical issues, often fixing problems before you even know they exist.
Technical issues don’t schedule appointments. That’s why we proactively monitor your website around the clock for any signs of trouble. If something goes wrong, our team is notified instantly and begins working on the solution immediately. In many cases, we resolve issues before they impact your visitors or business operations. And because we maintain regular backups, we can quickly restore your site to working order even in worst-case scenarios.
WordPress Design and Development Questions
-
How much does a WordPress website cost?
WordPress website development typically ranges from $1,000 – $15,000+ depending on complexity, design requirements, and custom functionality needs.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here because, well, no two websites are the same! A simple portfolio site will cost much less than a full-featured e-commerce platform with custom integrations. During our initial consultation, we’ll help you understand exactly what you need and provide a transparent quote with no hidden surprises. We can also work with you to phase development to fit your budget.
-
How long does it take to build a WordPress website?
A typical WordPress website takes between 4-12 weeks to develop from concept to launch, depending on complexity and the approval process.
Think of website development like building a house: the more custom features and special requirements, the longer it takes. Simple sites might be ready in just a few weeks, while complex e-commerce platforms or membership sites might take several months. The good news? We’ll provide a detailed timeline upfront and keep you in the loop throughout the entire process.
-
Is WordPress good for SEO?
Yes, WordPress is excellent for SEO when properly configured with clean code, optimized structure, and the right plugins.
WordPress has actually become the go-to platform for SEO-conscious businesses because it’s built with clean code and offers incredible flexibility. We build SEO foundations directly into your site architecture from day one. For more comprehensive SEO services, check out our SEO Authority services where we take your visibility to the next level.
-
Can you update/improve my existing WordPress site instead of building a new one?
Absolutely! We offer audits, redesigns, optimizations, and targeted improvements for existing WordPress sites, often saving you time and money.
Many clients come to us thinking they need to start from scratch when their current site just needs some TLC. Our comprehensive site audit can identify exactly what’s working and what’s not, allowing us to make strategic improvements rather than rebuilding unnecessarily. Sometimes the most cost-effective approach is working with what you’ve already got, we’ll always be honest about that.
Search Engine Optimization Questions
-
Do I really need SEO?
Every website can benefit from basic optimization and keyword propagation. You spent time and energy putting the website together, so let’s make sure the right people see it.
Consider your website as a node in the vast digital network. Without proper SEO, it’s like having an unlisted phone number. Even the most beautifully designed site is ineffective if people can’t find it. SEO connects your digital presence to the very people who are already searching for what you offer, creating pathways through the web that lead directly to your digital doorstep
-
How does SEO work?
SEO works by optimizing your website to meet search engine criteria for relevance, authority, and user experience, making it more likely to rank higher for targeted search queries.
Think of search engines as digital curators trying to connect searchers with the most valuable results. Our role is to help your website meet and exceed their quality standards. We optimize technical elements for better crawling and indexing, create content that demonstrates relevance to specific topics, build credibility through quality connections across the web, and ensure visitors have a positive experience once they arrive. It’s a blend of technical craft and content artistry. Precisely what Web Tech Weaver excels at providing!
-
How do I get to the first page of search results?
In addition to proper SEO practices and optimizations, you’ll want to provide value to the user searching for your content. You have a voice, we can help make sure you are heard!
Search engines have evolved to recognize valuable content. They’re designed to connect searchers with genuine solutions to their queries. Our approach combines technical optimization with strategic content development, weaving together the elements that both search algorithms and human readers appreciate. We’ll help amplify your unique voice and expertise in ways that naturally attract both search engines and potential customers.
-
How long will it take to see results?
SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. While some improvements can be seen within weeks, significant results typically take 3-6 months as search engines process your optimizations and content improvements.
Let’s be real, anyone promising overnight results is pulling your leg. Good SEO takes time because search engines need to crawl your site, process changes, and evaluate how users interact with your content. The good news is that this deliberate approach leads to more sustainable results. We’ll begin tracking improvements immediately, showing you the gradual strengthening of your digital presence over time. You’ll receive regular reports highlighting your progress as your website becomes increasingly woven into the fabric of relevant search results.
Video & Audio Production Questions
-
How much does video production cost?
Simple videos like adding a watermark for social media my cost less than $100.00 while fully scripted 30 to 60 second videos cost $750.00 to $1500.00+
Taking video you provide and weaving together an animated brand narrative is $25.00 to $35.00 a second for rough estimates. Possibly more if we have to craft or source the video ourself. We offer on location shooting on rare occasion. We have access to premium stock footage and royalty music that is freely included as an option in every project.
-
How long does it take to produce a professional video?
Once again the timeline depends on what the finished product is and how long. Simple short videos can be completed in a day or two with longer videos taking a week or more.
Weaving digital magic takes time and rushing the process rarely produces enchanting results. Pre-production planning typically takes 1-2 weeks as we gather the perfect threads for your story. Production might be 1-3 days of concentrated magic-making, and post-production usually requires 2-4 weeks of careful weaving and refinement. We’ll create a detailed timeline during our initial weaving session so you’ll understand each phase of the spellcasting process.
-
What makes a video effective for marketing?
Effective marketing videos weave together clear messaging, emotional resonance, technical excellence, and strategic distribution to connect with target audiences.
The most powerful video spells aren’t just technically impressive, they’re strategically crafted. Starting with the overall goal, they deliver your message with clarity and brevity (usually under 2 minutes). They evoke emotional connections that transcend the digital divide. And perhaps most importantly, they include a clear path forward that guides viewers to the next step in their journey. Our approach integrates all these elements, along with data from our 600+ previous published videos, to create memorable moments of engagement.
Print & Graphic Media Questions
-
How much does professional graphic design cost?
Graphic design services typically range from $100-$5,000+ depending on project complexity, deliverables required, and level of customization needed.
There is a wide range of services to consider. A basic business card design might run about $100.00, a simple logo refresh might start around $500.00, while a complete brand identity package with all print collateral could range upward of $5,000.00. During our consultation, we’ll discuss your specific needs and budget to create a package that delivers maximum value. We strive to create designs that will last years and be something you can’t wait to share.
-
Do I need print materials in today's digital world?
Absolutely. Physical materials create sensory memories digital cannot match, allowing your brand to form deeper connections and stand out in ways increasingly rare in our screen-dominated world.
The more digital our world becomes, the more impact physical materials have. When everyone else is reaching your customers through screens, a beautifully designed piece of print collateral creates a distinctly different experience. One that engages touch, sight, and even smell. Studies consistently show that people retain information better when reading physical materials versus digital. Plus, a tangible piece can sit on a desk, hang on a wall, or stay in a pocket; creating ongoing brand impressions long after a website visit ends.
-
How long does it take to design a logo?
Professional logo design typically takes 2-4 weeks from initial concept to finalized files, including research, conceptualization, refinement, and delivery phases.
Creating a logo that works beautifully across both digital and physical applications requires careful consideration. The process begins with understanding your business and audience. We then explore multiple creative directions, ensuring each would translate effectively to various touchable formats. We refine the strongest concepts and test them across different materials before delivering complete files optimized for every application. This thorough approach ensures your logo makes the right impression whether it’s on a screen, a business card, or a storefront sign.
-
What makes signage effective?
Effective signage combines visual impact, clear messaging, and strategic placement to not only identify your location but transform it into a memorable landmark that aids navigation and builds brand recognition.
The best signage doesn’t just mark your location, it becomes part of the local landscape and vocabulary. “Turn right at the building with the big red sign” is the kind of organic marketing you can’t buy with digital ads. Effective signage considers viewing distance, lighting conditions, surrounding environment, and materials that weather appropriately for your climate. We design signage that not only looks striking but remains clearly visible and becomes an asset to your community, the kind people use as reference points when giving directions.
Marketing Questions
-
How does strategic marketing differ from just running ads or posting on social media?
Strategic marketing weaves together all marketing activities under a cohesive plan with clear objectives, ensuring that every effort supports your overall business goals rather than existing in isolation.
Think of strategic marketing as the master pattern that guides all your marketing efforts. Rather than posting on social media because “everyone does it” or running ads without clear targets, strategic marketing starts with understanding your business objectives and audience needs. We then design a comprehensive plan where each element, whether social posts, email campaigns, or targeted ads, serves a specific purpose within the larger pattern. This approach ensures more efficient use of your marketing budget and creates multiplying effects as different channels reinforce each other.
-
How much should I budget for digital marketing?
Effective marketing budgets typically range from 7-15% of revenue for established businesses and up to 25-35% for growth-stage companies, though specific recommendations depend on your industry, goals, and competitive landscape.
Marketing isn’t just an expense, it’s an investment in your business growth. The right budget depends on several factors including your industry, growth objectives, and competitive environment. During our initial consultation, we’ll help you determine an appropriate investment level that balances your goals with your resources. We also structure our services to provide flexibility, allowing you to start with core elements and expand your marketing web as you see results and your business grows.
-
How long will it take to see results from marketing efforts?
While some initial results may appear within weeks, comprehensive marketing programs typically require 3-6 months to demonstrate significant impact as different elements begin working together and building momentum.
Digital marketing is both a sprint and a marathon. Some tactics like targeted ads can generate immediate traffic, while others like email nurturing and brand building create value over time. We set realistic expectations for each component of your marketing strategy, with clear timelines and benchmarks. You’ll receive regular reports showing progress across all channels, and we’ll continuously refine our approach based on what the data tells us. The most powerful results come when all elements of your marketing web have time to strengthen and connect.
-
Do I need to be active on all social media platforms?
No. Effective social media marketing focuses on the platforms where your specific audience is most active and engaged, rather than trying to maintain a presence everywhere.
Quality always trumps quantity in social media marketing. We’ll help you identify which platforms offer the strongest connection to your target audience, then develop a focused strategy for those channels. This approach allows you to create more meaningful content and genuine engagement rather than spreading your efforts too thin. As your social media presence strengthens on your primary platforms, we can strategically expand to additional channels when it makes sense for your business and audience.
