The build work inside a small business website comes to 6 to 8 weeks, yet a troubled project shows 4 or 5 months on the calendar, and nearly all of that gap is waiting rather than working. This guide puts a price in working days on every missing item, from text that never arrives to a domain login nobody can find, and ends with the ten question checklist worth finishing before anyone quotes you a date.
Almost every page answering this question hides behind the words it depends, so this one does the opposite. Here are the real price bands, a typical quote taken apart line by line, the arithmetic behind every driver that lifts a number, the bill that arrives every year after launch, and an honest account of the times when the cheaper option is the one we would tell you to take.
Most guides to this decision hand you a polite checklist and leave you no wiser when you are actually sitting across the table. This one does the opposite. Here are the exact questions to ask a web design company, the answers that should make you pause, the arithmetic behind a US$2,000 quote against a US$12,000 one, the timeline you can hold anyone to, and an honest account of when the cheapest option is the right one.
Traffic fell after your new site went live, and no one can say why. This guide helps you find the cause from what you see on your charts: a missing tracking tag, a leftover block from the test site telling Google to stay away, old links with no permanent redirect, pages Google sees as empty, lost star ratings or a missing language. It shows how to check each one in Search Console and ends with who should pay for the repair.
Most articles on this question are written by people who sell redesigns, so they list ten symptoms and conclude that you need one. This is the honest version: the four numbers on your own dashboard that settle the argument, the seven symptoms that really do mean rebuild, the five complaints that almost never do, and the cheaper repairs that fix the same problem for a fraction of the money.
