Frequently Asked Questions
What types of businesses do you typically work with?
Most clients are small businesses and service-based companies, including contractors, real estate professionals, creatives, consultants, and local organizations. We focus on businesses that want a reliable long-term web partner rather than a large agency.
Can you redesign an existing website?
Yes. We regularly work on website redesign projects, including redesigning existing Squarespace sites and migrating websites from other platforms when appropriate. We take care to preserve SEO and existing content during redesigns.
What types of websites do you build?
We primarily build Squarespace websites for small businesses, service-based companies, and local organizations. Our websites are designed to be clean, modern, mobile-friendly, and easy for clients to manage long-term.
Do you specialize in Squarespace websites?
Yes. Squarespace website design is a core focus of Cape Cod Web Design. We work extensively with Squarespace because it offers a strong balance of design flexibility, performance, security, and ease of use for small business owners.
How much does a website cost?
Every website we build is custom, so pricing depends on the size of your website, the number of pages, functionality, and your specific goals. Most website projects fall between $2,500 and $6,500, with smaller brochure-style websites starting around $2,000. After a quick discovery call, we'll provide a fixed-price proposal tailored to your business.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. Website projects are billed in three installments: one-third to begin the project, one-third when the first draft is complete, and the remaining balance before launch. This keeps the project moving while spreading the investment over the course of the build.
Do you offer fixed pricing or charge by the hour?
All new website projects are quoted at a fixed price, so you'll know exactly what your investment will be before any work begins. For existing websites or one-time support requests, we offer hourly services at $150 per hour, with a 30-minute minimum.
How much does a Squarespace website cost?
Most of our Squarespace websites range from $2,500 to $6,500, depending on the complexity of the project. Smaller informational websites typically start around $2,000, while larger websites with advanced functionality, custom integrations, or extensive content can exceed $7,000.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites are completed in 2–6 weeks, depending on the size of the project and how quickly we receive content and feedback. In many cases, we're able to deliver a first draft within one week of receiving your down payment and project materials.
Do you help with SEO for small businesses?
Yes. We provide SEO services for small businesses, including on-page SEO, site structure optimization, local SEO best practices, and guidance on content strategy. All websites are built with SEO in mind from the start.
Do you offer ongoing website maintenance and support?
Yes. We offer ongoing website maintenance and support for clients who want help with updates, performance monitoring, SEO improvements, and general site upkeep after launch.
