Frequently Asked Questions

We offer two options. The monthly plan is $175/month with $0 down — everything is included: design, development, hosting, unlimited edits, and 24/7 support. The one-time plan is $3,500 and you own the site outright, with hosting billed separately at $25/month.

On the monthly plan, Stonegate retains ownership of the site — you license it as long as you're a client. On the $3,500 one-time plan, you own everything outright. Either way, your content, photos, and business information are always 100% yours.

The monthly plan has a 12-month minimum. After that, cancel anytime with 30 days notice. If you cancel within the first 12 months, a $3,500 early termination fee applies — the same as the lump sum price. We're upfront about this from day one.

None. The monthly plan is one flat price that covers everything. The only separate costs are the domain name (about $12/year, you own it) and any paid advertising budget if you choose to run Google Ads — that goes directly to Google, not to us.

We do a live screen share walkthrough before launch and make any changes you want at no extra charge. We don't go live until you're completely happy. If we truly can't design something you're satisfied with, we cancel the contract and you owe nothing.

No. We write all your website content for you — headlines, paragraphs, service descriptions, everything. You fill out a short questionnaire about your business and we handle the words. Available in English, Spanish, or Portuguese at no extra cost.

Generally 2 to 3 weeks from questionnaire to first preview. After revisions, most sites go live within 3 to 4 weeks total. Rush builds can be arranged if needed.

Page builders load bloated code that slows your site down. A slow site loses visitors and ranks lower on Google. Our hand-coded sites score 100/100 on Google PageSpeed, load in under 1 second, and cannot be hacked because there are no databases or plugins to exploit.

Virtually impossible. Our sites are pure HTML and CSS — there are no databases, no login panels, no plugins, and no WordPress vulnerabilities. There is nothing for a hacker to exploit. This is one of the biggest advantages of hand-coded websites.

Yes — every site we build is mobile-first. We design for phones first, then scale up to tablets and desktops. More than 60% of web traffic comes from mobile devices and Google ranks mobile-friendly sites higher in search results.

Every site we build is submitted to Google Search Console at launch. We also set up your Google Business Profile and implement on-page SEO — proper headings, meta descriptions, local schema markup, and fast load times. Ranking takes time but we set you up correctly from day one.

Yes. We manage Google Ads campaigns for clients who want immediate visibility while their organic SEO builds. Ad spend goes directly to Google — we charge a separate management fee. Ask us about current rates during your consultation.

Yes. We're based in Kearny but work with businesses anywhere in New Jersey and beyond. All consultations can be done by phone, video call, or in person. We serve Hudson, Essex, Bergen, Union, Passaic, and Morris counties.
