FAQ Common questions

A handful of questions,
plainly answered.

The questions buyers usually ask before sending a brief. If yours is not here, the brief field on the contact page is the right place to ask it.

  1. 01 What does a typical website engagement cost?

    Most website engagements begin in the mid four figures and scale with scope, content, integrations, and launch support. Strategy-only engagements are tightly scoped and quoted at a fraction of a full website build. A written estimate follows the discovery conversation — there is no commodity price list because no two engagements are the same.

  2. 02 How long does a website project take?

    A focused, content-ready marketing site usually ships in four to eight weeks. Most full website engagements run about six to ten weeks because some phases overlap. Larger builds with custom integrations or phased launches can run two to four months.

  3. 03 Do you write the copy and design the site, or just build it?

    Both. Renn leads the strategy, site structure, copy, design, development, and launch, so decisions carry cleanly from the brief into the finished site.

  4. 04 Where are your clients based?

    Across the United States. The studio is based in Wilmington, North Carolina, and engagements can run remotely through written briefs, recorded walkthroughs, design reviews, and scheduled calls. Where geography lines up, an in-person kickoff is possible; it is never required.

  5. 05 Will I be able to update the site myself after launch?

    Yes. Sites are built so the parts the business needs to update — copy, images, team members, projects, posts — sit in a structured content layer that a non-technical owner can edit through a clean admin or a simple content file. Changes that touch design or layout typically come back to the studio, by design.

  6. 06 What platform or CMS do you build on?

    The tool is chosen for the business, editing needs, and expected lifespan of the site. Most marketing sites use a fast, low-maintenance custom build with a straightforward editing workflow. The business owns its accounts and content, and the platform is documented at handoff.

  7. 07 Do you handle hosting, domains, and email?

    Yes — set up cleanly at launch and documented so the business owns its own infrastructure. The studio configures DNS, hosting, analytics, and any required mailbox or transactional email service. Domains and accounts are always registered to the business, not to the studio.

  8. 08 Is ongoing website care required after launch?

    No. Ongoing website care is available after launch and is scoped in the project proposal. Coverage and pricing are explicit before it begins, so there is no undisclosed recurring obligation.

Have a different question?

Most engagements begin with a short written brief. Tell the studio what you're trying to fix or build — I'll respond as soon as I can.
