Good to know
Questions I get asked a lot
How much does a small business website cost?
Most ForwardWeb websites land between $1,500 and $5,000 depending on the number of pages, features, and whether you need e-commerce. You'll get one fixed quote up front — no hourly surprises.
How long does it take to build?
A typical small business site launches in 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff. Larger or e-commerce builds take a little longer. We agree on the timeline before any work starts.
Will my website actually show up on Google?
Every site is built SEO-ready — clean code, fast load times, proper structure and local schema. SEO is groundwork rather than an overnight switch, and I set it up properly from day one so you're positioned to rank.
Who will I actually be working with?
Me — the person designing and building your site. ForwardWeb is founder-led, so there's no account manager and no hand-off. One direct point of contact from first call to launch.
What if I already have a website?
I'll take a look and tell you straight whether it's worth improving or rebuilding — then make it faster and better-ranking while protecting the search equity you've already earned.
