FAQs for Small Business Websites
Q: Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
A: Yes! You can either request updates as needed at $40/hour, or sign up for a monthly maintenance plan ($75/month) which covers up to 2 hours of updates. This is ideal if you’d like me to handle seasonal changes, new content, or keeping your site polished over time.
Q: What’s included in your pricing?
A: My pricing covers the design, setup, and styling of your website. This includes page layout, mobile optimization, and integrating your content (text + photos).
Q: What’s not included in the price?
A: You’ll also need to purchase a domain (typically $12–$25/year) and a hosting plan with your chosen platform (usually $15–$25/month for Wix, Squarespace, etc.). These are paid directly to the provider.
Q: Can I update the website myself after it’s launched?
A: Yes! Your site will be built on a user-friendly platform like Wix or Squarespace, so you can easily make edits, add content, or update information on your own. I’ll provide guidance if needed.
Q: How long will it take to get my site?
A: Most sites are completed within 2–4 weeks, depending on complexity and how quickly I receive your content.
Q: Can I add more pages later?
A: Absolutely. You can request additional pages anytime for $50 each, or upgrade to a custom package if your site grows beyond 6+ pages.

A: My pricing covers the design and setup of your personalized travel website. This includes your styled itinerary layout, daily schedule, links, and any extras you select (like maps or galleries).
Q: How long will my travel site stay up?
A: If you’re using the standard link I provide (example: https://ariana1848.wixsite.com/title-of-your site), your site will remain live for 6 months from delivery. If you’ve purchased a personalized domain (ex: yourtrip.com), your site will stay up for 12 months, as long as your domain and hosting plan are active.
Extensions are available upon request.
Q: What’s not included in the price?
A: You’ll need to cover the cost of your domain if you want a custom one (typically $12–$25/year), as well as any platform hosting plan (usually $15–$25/month with Wix, Squarespace, etc.). These are paid directly to the provider.
Q: Do you help with booking flights or hotels?
A: Not directly. Each itinerary includes suggested hotels, restaurants, and activities, plus links to flight search tools so you can book easily on your own.
✨ For travelers who’d like more hands-on support, I can refer you to Jeannine Graham, a dedicated travel agent and trusted partner of The Curated Journey. She can help you find great flights, secure accommodations, and handle the booking details for a seamless travel experience.

A: Yes! You’ll get a private link that works on any device — phone, tablet, or laptop — and it’s easy to share with your travel crew. No apps or downloads required.
Q: Can I update my travel site myself?
A: No — once your site is finalized, editing access stays with me to ensure consistency and quality. I’m happy to make changes for you after final approval, but please note that any edits (unless correcting a mistake I made) are billed at $40/hour.
Q: Do you offer a referral discount?
A: Yes! If a new client books a travel site or small business website and gives your name as their referral, you’ll receive $25 off your next project with me.
