Most website projects with Plano Website Design are completed in 6–10 weeks from kickoff to launch. A standard 5–8 page business website typically takes 6–8 weeks, covering discovery, design, development, testing, and revisions.
WordPress is our primary platform and for good reason. It powers over 40% of all websites worldwide and gives Plano business owners full ownership and control of their content without needing a developer for every update. That said, we’re not platform-locked. We also build on Shopify for e-commerce businesses, Webflow for design-intensive projects, and fully custom solutions for clients with unique requirements.
Absolutely, and website redesigns make up a significant part of our work with Plano businesses. We don’t just make your site look newer; we evaluate what’s costing you leads and fix it. Our redesign process starts with a full audit of your current site: speed, mobile performance, SEO foundation, content gaps, and conversion rate.
Every website we build is fully responsive, meaning it automatically adjusts to look and function perfectly on any device, from a desktop monitor to the smallest smartphone. This isn’t optional for us; it’s standard practice on every project. With over 60% of web traffic now coming from mobile devices, and Google using mobile-first indexing to determine your search rankings, a site that doesn’t perform on mobile isn’t just inconvenient; it actively hurts your visibility and your conversions.
Website investment varies based on the scope, complexity, and goals of your project. As a general guide for Plano businesses: a foundational 4–6 page business website typically starts around $3,500–$6,000; a full-featured small business site with SEO setup, blog, and lead capture runs $6,000–$15,000; and e-commerce or custom-built platforms start at $15,000 and up.
Yes, completely. When we build your website, you own everything: the domain, the hosting account, all the design files, and every line of code. We believe strongly in full ownership transparency. Some agencies lock clients into proprietary platforms or retain ownership of your site files, which means you’re dependent on them forever.
Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance plans for all websites we build, and we recommend them for every client. Websites aren’t set-and-forget; they require regular security updates, plugin patches, performance monitoring, content refreshes, and periodic backups. Our maintenance plans give you peace of mind that your site stays fast, secure, and up to date.
Every website we build includes a foundational SEO setup. This covers proper heading structure, page title, and meta description optimization, image alt text, schema markup, Google Analytics and Search Console integration, and a mobile-responsive, fast-loading build that meets Google’s technical requirements.
Yes, and this is one of the most impactful investments a Plano business can make. Your Google Business Profile controls how your business appears on Google Maps and in the local pack (the map results at the top of search). We offer Google Business Profile setup, optimization, and ongoing management as part of our local SEO services.
An SEO company helps your business rank higher in Google search results for the keywords your customers use to find services like yours. For Plano businesses, this means local SEO to appear in the Map Pack, on-page optimization to improve your organic rankings, technical SEO to fix site issues that hurt performance, and content strategy to capture long-tail searches. Plano Website Design also includes Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) to ensure you’re visible in AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring your website and online presence so AI tools — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot — cite your business when customers ask questions. Where SEO targets a ranked list of links, AEO targets the single answer an AI engine gives. It combines answer-first content, schema markup, consistent business data, and authoritative mentions across the web. For Plano businesses, AEO is how you stay visible as customers shift from searching to asking.
AI engines cite businesses that demonstrate clear, structured, verifiable expertise. In practice that means answering customer questions directly on your website, keeping your name, address, and phone number consistent everywhere online, using schema markup, earning reviews, and building authoritative mentions on the sites AI models trust. Our AEO service and Content Everywhere℠ methodology handle all of this — and we track which AI engines actually cite your business, so you see the results.
Yes — they’re complementary, not interchangeable. SEO earns you positions in traditional search results; AEO earns you citations in AI-generated answers. With a growing share of searches ending without a click, businesses that invest only in SEO are invisible in the fastest-growing discovery channel. The good news: strong SEO foundations make AEO more effective, so the work compounds rather than competes.
