FAQs

What must be looked at when registering a domain?

Choose a domain that is short, easy to spell, brand-related, and uses a trusted extension like .co.za or .com. Also check renewal costs, DNS control, ownership details, and whether email/DNS management is included.

What should you look at when setting up hosting?

Check server speed, uptime, SSL support, backups, storage, email options, PHP/MySQL support, security tools, and whether the hosting is suitable for WordPress.

When should you use a custom site vs WordPress?

Use WordPress when the business needs quick content updates, blogs, service pages, booking tools, and easy management. Use a custom-built site when the project needs very specific workflows, complex systems, portals, or integrations that WordPress cannot handle cleanly.

What is involved in Google Business setup?

Google Business setup includes creating or claiming the profile, adding business details, service areas, hours, images, contact details, website link, categories, and optimizing the profile for local search visibility.

Why is responsive design important?

Responsive design ensures the website works properly on phones, tablets, and desktops. This is important because many customers search and book services from mobile devices.

What technical items matter in website building?

Important technical items include SSL, page speed, mobile responsiveness, SEO metadata, image optimization, backups, security, form testing, analytics, tracking, and proper DNS configuration.
