Question 1

Do I have to commit to anything before I see my website?

Accepted Answer

No. We build a working demo first using information that’s already public about your business. You’ll receive a real website on a real link before you’re asked to sign anything or pay a dollar. If you don’t like it, there’s no obligation to move forward.

Question 2

Why is this so much faster than a typical web agency?

Accepted Answer

We don’t start every project from a blank page. Instead, we build every website on a proven system we’ve refined specifically for landscaping businesses. That lets us spend time customizing your business instead of rebuilding the same foundations over and over. You still receive revisions before launch — it just doesn’t take months to get there.

Question 3

Why are your prices lower than most agencies?

Accepted Answer

Because we’ve standardized the process instead of reinventing it every time. Most agencies bill dozens of hours for planning, mockups, and custom development before you ever see a website. We skip that overhead by using a proven system and showing you a working demo first.

Question 4

Will my website look like everyone else’s?

Accepted Answer

No. Every site is built on the same design system, but the content, services, service areas, branding, photos, colors, reviews, and messaging are specific to your business. Think of it like homes built from the same architectural plans — each one still feels unique because of how it’s finished.

Question 5

Are you an established agency, or a new one?

Accepted Answer

We’re new, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Rather than asking you to trust years of marketing claims, we’d rather earn your business by showing you real work first. Every prospect receives a working demo before making a decision, so you can judge the quality of the website instead of our age as a company.

Question 6

How long does the real build take once I sign?

Accepted Answer

Most websites are completed within 3–5 business days after we receive your deposit and everything needed to finish the site, such as photos, logos, or service information.

Question 7

What does the price include?

Accepted Answer

Every website includes a professionally designed mobile-friendly site, hosting, SSL security, contact forms, SEO basics, ongoing support, and one revision round before launch. Higher-tier packages include additional pages and features. Visit the Pricing page for a complete breakdown.

Question 8

Do I own my website?

Accepted Answer

Starter and Growth customers do. Once the setup fee is paid, you own your website, its content, and your domain. Website Care works differently. Because there’s no upfront build fee, the website remains part of the managed service while you’re subscribed. If you’d ever like to purchase ownership of the site, contact us and we’ll work out a buyout.

Question 9

Can I upgrade later?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you start on Starter and later decide you want Growth, you simply pay the difference between the two setup fees. You never pay for the same work twice.

Question 10

Can I use my existing domain name?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you already own a domain, we’ll use it. If you don’t, we’ll help you register one. Your domain always belongs to you — we never own or control it on your behalf.

Question 11

Can I move my website to another developer later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your domain is always yours, and on Starter or Growth you own the completed website once your setup fee is paid. If you ever decide to work with another developer, you’re free to move your website wherever you’d like. Our internal website-building platform stays with Summit Studio, but your finished website does not.

Question 12

Can I host the website myself?

Accepted Answer

Not while you’re an active customer. Hosting, security updates, monitoring, and maintenance are all included in your monthly plan so you don’t have to manage them yourself. If you leave on Starter or Growth, you’re free to move your website to another host.

Question 13

What happens if I cancel Website Care?

Accepted Answer

Website Care doesn’t charge an upfront build fee, so the website remains part of the managed service while you’re subscribed. If you decide you’d rather own the website outright, contact us and we’ll discuss a buyout option.

Question 14

What happens if Summit Studio ever closes?

Accepted Answer

Your domain always belongs to you. On Starter and Growth, you also own your website once your setup fee has been paid. If Summit Studio were ever to stop operating, you’d still have your website and your domain.

Question 15

Can you help my business rank higher on Google?

Accepted Answer

Yes — but no one can honestly guarantee rankings. Every website is built with SEO best practices from the start, including fast loading speeds, mobile responsiveness, clean page structure, metadata, and service-area targeting. Those things give your business a strong foundation for search visibility.

Question 16

Do you write the content?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build your initial website using publicly available information about your business, then refine everything during the review process with your feedback. You’re never expected to write an entire website from scratch.

Question 17

Do I need professional photos?

Accepted Answer

No. If you already have great photos, we’ll use them. If not, we can start with the best images available and replace them later as you collect better ones.

Question 18

What if I want changes after launch?

Accepted Answer

Website Care includes unlimited minor text and image updates. Starter and Growth customers can request changes anytime, and we’ll provide a simple flat-rate or hourly quote before beginning the work.

Question 19

Do you only build websites for landscaping companies?

Accepted Answer

Today, landscaping and lawn care businesses are our specialty because that’s where we’ve refined our process the most. If you operate another single-location home service business, reach out — we may already be a good fit.

Question 20

Still unsure?

Accepted Answer

That’s exactly why we build the demo first. Instead of asking you to trust promises, portfolios, or sales pitches, we’d rather let you review a real website built specifically for your business. If you love it, we’ll talk. If not, there’s no pressure and no obligation.
