Good questions deserve clear answers.
The essentials about working with Trent Digital Labs. If your question isn't covered, get in touch.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the pages, content, design requirements and features. We provide a tailored quote after discussing the scope, and the agreed price should be confirmed in writing before work begins.
Do I pay for my domain separately?
Yes. Domain registration and renewal are third-party costs paid by you or agreed in advance. The domain should be registered in your name or your business's name so you retain control.
Is hosting included?
For suitable static websites, GitHub Pages can be used without a separate hosting subscription. Domain registration and some third-party tools may still cost money. More complex features may require other hosting or services.
Can GitHub Pages host every type of website?
No. It is designed for static websites and does not run server-side code or provide a database by itself. Features such as accounts, protected dashboards or custom backend workflows may need additional services.
How long will my website take?
Timescales depend on the scope and how quickly content, feedback and approvals are provided. We will agree an estimated timeline before starting.
Can I ask for changes?
Yes, within the revision process agreed in your quote. The quote should explain what is included and how extra requests are handled.
Who owns the website?
Ownership, source files, access credentials and handover arrangements should be explicitly agreed in writing before the project starts. Keep your own copies of important credentials and domain records.
Do you offer monthly maintenance?
Optional ongoing support can be discussed where available. Any recurring fee, included tasks, response times and cancellation terms should be agreed clearly before subscribing.
Do you guarantee Google rankings or sales?
No. A well-structured website can support visibility and enquiries, but search rankings, traffic and sales depend on many factors and cannot be guaranteed.
