Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of websites do you create?

Cédille & Co. creates custom websites for small businesses, artists, creative professionals, and service-based organizations. Projects can range from simple portfolio websites to multi-page business sites with blogs, galleries, forms, and search optimization.

What happens once I submit a commission request?

I'll review your request and project details from the forms you submit, and email you a proposal that includes prelimiary visuals of your website's homepage with an estimated quote within 1-2 business days. Once you approve the quote, you'll receive an invoice (Net-15 terms) and we can coordinate details on any changes or additions needed.

Do you use templates or website builders?

No. Websites are custom-designed and developed rather than built from pre-made templates. This allows the final site to better reflect your brand, your audience, and the way you actually work.

Can you redesign or migrate my existing website?

Yes. If your current website is built on a platform such as Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or another website builder, Cédille & Co. can help redesign and migrate the site into a custom-built experience while preserving the content and functionality that still serves your business well.

Is SEO included with my website?

Yes. Every website includes foundational SEO practices such as thoughtful page structure, optimized titles, metadata, image alt text, responsive design, and performance considerations. More comprehensive SEO services are available for businesses that want additional search optimization.

Will my website work on phones and tablets?

Yes. Every website is designed responsively so that the experience remains clear, polished, and easy to navigate across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

Will my website be accessible?

Accessibility is an important consideration throughout the design and development process. Websites are built with WCAG accessibility best practices in mind and run through an audit prior to launch.

Can I update the website myself after it launches?

Yes, but additional costs depend on the features you need. Blogs, galleries, scheduling forms, and other frequently updated sections can be built with simple management tools where appropriate. Cédille & Co. also offers ongoing website stewardship for clients who would rather have updates handled professionally.

Do you offer marketing services too?

Yes. Brand identity refreshes are available for clients who need help refining their logo, colors, typography, or overall visual direction before beginning a website project. I highly recommend my proprietaty Design Inspiration Tool to discover exactly what you want! Ongoing digital marketing is also available, to increase your online reach and discoverability.

How long does a typical website project take?

Most projects take approximately one to two weeks, depending on the size of the site, the complexity of the project, and how quickly content and approvals are provided. A more specific timeline is established before development begins.

What makes Cédille & Co. Design different?

Cédille & Co. takes a thoughtful, relationship-first approach to design. The goal is not simply to make a website look polished, but to understand the people, work, and purpose behind the business so the finished site feels genuinely representative of the client and the care they have invested in their craft.
