Frequently Asked Questions

• How much does a website project cost?

  Our custom development projects typically start around $7,000, but pricing highly depends on your site’s complexity and scope. This includes development only; design is handled separately. We offer flexible payment plans to help make the investment manageable.

• Why do I need to hire a separate designer?

  Designers and developers are two sides of a great launch. Your designer creates the visual vision — fonts, layouts, color palettes — while we bring it to life with clean, strategic code. We partner with talented designers and can help match you with someone who understands food blogging aesthetics.

• What if I don’t have a designer yet?

  No problem. We regularly collaborate with expert designers who specialize in food and lifestyle brands. We’ll connect you with someone who aligns with your brand and content goals.

• Will my recipe plugin and content transfer correctly?

  Yes! We have deep experience with both WP Recipe Maker and Tasty Recipes. Whether you’re switching plugins or keeping your current setup, we ensure your recipes — including ratings, nutrition facts, and images — migrate cleanly and maintain schema for SEO.

   

• Can you migrate my existing blog content?

  Absolutely. We offer expert content migration from platforms like Squarespace, Showit, and older WordPress themes. We ensure posts, images, categories, and recipes are all transferred smoothly and optimized for your new structure.

• Can I include features like category filters or seasonal recipe collections?

  Yes. We build strategic, fully custom recipe indexes that can be filterable (by diet, meal type, etc.) or visual (seasonal blocks, featured categories) — based on what works best for your content and audience.

• Will my new site be optimized for SEO?

  Definitely. We build your site with modern SEO best practices, including clean code, proper heading structure, fast loading, and schema markup. We also integrate Google Analytics and Search Console, and install an SEO plugin with tutorial videos so you can confidently manage your content.

• Will my site meet ad network requirements?

  Yes. We structure your site with ad-readiness in mind — from layout and speed to content architecture. Whether you’re aiming for Mediavine or Raptive, we’ll help ensure your site is set up to support ad revenue now or in the future.

• Can I grow my email list with the new site?

  Absolutely. We build in newsletter forms and lead magnet opt-ins wherever they make the most impact — sidebar, footer, inline, or pop-up—and integrate with platforms like ConvertKit, Flodesk, or Mailchimp.

• Will my site be fast and pass Core Web Vitals?

  Yes. Performance and speed are built into our process. We optimize your site to meet Core Web Vitals, and we provide initial PageSpeed Insights testing with every launch to make sure you’re set up for success.

• Do you offer training so I can manage my site myself?

  Yes! You’ll receive site-specific Loom videos walking you through everything — from updating blog posts to managing recipes and opt-ins. These are yours to keep, so you always have a reference.

• What kind of support do you offer after launch?

  Every client receives 30 days of post-launch support and access to our exclusive Site Care plans for ongoing updates, troubleshooting, and maintenance. You can also book us hourly for small tweaks or upgrades as needed.
