For a marketing site with a template, a freelancer can work. For a site that needs to convert, scale with your business, and stay secure over years, a team with design, engineering, and QA discipline is worth it. We'll tell you honestly if your project is simple enough to not need us.

It depends on page count, integrations, and content readiness. A marketing site is faster than an e-commerce or CMS-driven build with custom features - you'll get a real timeline after discovery.

Cost depends on custom features, CMS choice, design complexity, and integrations (payments, CRM, AI chat). We scope every project individually rather than quoting a flat rate that doesn't match your actual needs.

Yes - AI-powered chat assistants, semantic search, and content personalization are increasingly standard requests. We can add these to a new build or an existing site without a full rebuild.

Next.js and React for custom builds that need performance and flexibility; WordPress, Shopify, or Webflow when a managed CMS fits the project better. We'll recommend the right one for your goals, not the one that's easiest for us.
