Common questions from small business owners.
Answers to what we hear from owner-operators and small business teams when they reach out.
How much does a small business website cost?
Small business web design at TMN Creative starts at $2,250 for a Starter Refresh (single-page homepage with services, social proof, contact form, Google Maps), $3,750 for a Full Site Rebuild (multi-page site with services, about, team, blog, contact, and SEO foundations), and $5,000+ for Custom Studio Builds (larger small businesses with multiple service areas or custom integrations). All flat fees, no retainers, no monthly hosting lock-in. Optional site care starts at $50 per month. See the full 2026 small business website cost breakdown for how these numbers compare to DIY builders and agencies.
Why pay a designer instead of using Wix or Squarespace myself?
DIY platforms can be practical for a simple launch. A hand-coded build is useful when distinct design, lean delivery, ownership after full payment, and a buyer path tailored to the business matter. Performance still depends on content, hosting, third-party scripts, and ongoing changes. TMN does not promise a conversion rate or payback period.
How long does it take to build a small business website?
Starter Refresh and Full Site Rebuild first drafts typically target 72 hours after kickoff. Custom Studio Build first reviews typically target 7 to 10 days. Final launch depends on content, integrations, review requirements, and approvals.
Do you integrate with QuickBooks, Mailchimp, Stripe, and Shopify?
TMN can connect common accounting, payment, ecommerce, email, scheduling, workspace, analytics, and advertising tools after confirming access, vendor requirements, and the approved scope. Native integrations, APIs, webhooks, Zapier, or Make may be used depending on the tool. The exact systems, data fields, and tracking events are confirmed before the build.
Do I own the website outright after you build it?
Yes. Upon full payment for a completed project, you receive the website files and assets created for the project. There is no proprietary CMS or platform lock-in. Optional site care covers ongoing hosting, monitoring, updates, and content work. If support changes later, the finished site can move with you.
Are TMN Creative small business sites structured for AI-assisted search?
TMN can include semantic HTML, clear service copy, internal links, metadata, visible question-and-answer content, and supported Organization, LocalBusiness, or Service structured data when the approved scope and visible facts support them. These elements can help systems understand the page, but TMN does not guarantee search rankings, inclusion in AI answers, or recommendations.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I switch from Wix or Squarespace?
A migration can preserve supported URLs, redirects, metadata, and content when access and the approved scope allow, but search rankings can change before or after launch. TMN inventories current URLs, maps approved redirects, preserves supported metadata, and can monitor Search Console when listed in scope. TMN does not guarantee ranking retention or improvement.
