Start a project

Questions

The questions people ask before they start a project, with straight answers. Is yours missing? Email me at nick@wwworthit.com.

How much does a website cost?

I don't put prices on this site, because the price depends on your site: how many pages, which languages and how much research it needs. After a first conversation you get a written quote. You pay in three parts: 40% when you sign, 30% when you approve the design and 30% before launch.

How long does it take?

Normally 6 to 8 weeks from the kickoff, once I have full access to what I need. If your input comes in later, the planning moves with it. The work stays at the same standard.

What do I own when it's done?

Your domain, hosting on Cloudflare, the content system (Sanity), Google Analytics, Search Console and cookie consent all run on accounts in your name. I stay on as administrator. When the project is paid, I hand the code of your site over to you. The base code I build on stays mine, and you use it under licence.

What if you're unavailable?

Everything runs on accounts in your name and the code of your site is yours, so another developer can pick it up. At launch you also get a short guide to your content system.

Do you use AI?

Yes, AI helps me in my process. I check and approve everything you see myself, and nothing goes live without my review.

Can I change the text and photos myself?

Yes. Your site runs on Sanity, a content system where you change text and photos without touching code. At launch you get a short guide and two five-minute videos that show you how.

How many rounds of feedback do I get?

You approve four steps: the brief and sitemap, the design, the copy and photos, and the finished site before launch. Each of those gets two rounds of feedback. A round is one combined, written reply from you.

What happens after launch?

For three months from the launch date I fix bugs for free. After 30 days you get a short report on how the site is doing. If you want, I keep looking after your site with a monthly care plan, with a minimum of three months. After that, you can cancel monthly.

Will my site be found on Google and in AI search?

I build every page so search engines and AI assistants can read it: one H1, the right schema, a version per language with hreflang, and an llms.txt file. I can't promise you a ranking.

Do you work for my kind of business?

Most likely, yes. I build websites for all kinds of businesses, anywhere. I don't work for anyone who sells, brokers or manages real estate, or for holiday rentals. Some things need a quote of their own: user accounts, payments on the site, search with filters over many items, a link that writes back into your CRM or booking system, more than 20 pages or more than three languages. Sometimes my answer is that I'm not the right fit.

Which languages do you work in?

I speak and write English, Spanish and Dutch. Two languages are included, and each extra language is priced separately.

How do we start?

You fill in the project form. Within two working days you hear back from me, and we set up a first conversation. After that you get a written quote.

Will my website be accessible?

I build to WCAG 2.2 AA for the pages and parts I make myself. Parts from other companies, like a booking engine or payment provider, fall outside that.

Will there be a "Website: wwworthit" link on my site?

Yes, as a small text link in the footer. If you'd rather not have it, I take it away.

Can you also take the photos?

Where I can, I photograph and film myself. Otherwise I work with partners. Photography comes on a separate quote.
