FAQS
-
Who do you support?
While we work with a variety of businesses and non-profits, we specialize in helping established Thought Leaders, Influencers, Coaches, Consultants, Executive Mentors, and Professional Speakers.
Our clients are high-impact professionals who are incredible at what they do, but when it comes to their digital presence, they feel lost, overwhelmed, or invisible.
If you’re serious about amplifying your authority online, we're your partner.
-

What is The Authority Blueprint™?
It’s your shortcut to clarity, visibility, and credibility online. It includes:
- 1:1 Brand Strategy Deep Dive
- Full Website & Social Media Audit
- Your own Authority Blueprint™ Custom GPT Assistant (for creating on-brand content and messaging)

-
How much should I expect to invest on a new website?
Our websites start at $3,500 and most of our clients invest between $6,500 and $10,000 for a fully customized, 5-10 page website with SEO and lead generation tools built in.
For larger websites or added functionality (like memberships or course platforms), the investment can be higher.
Our monthly support, hosting, and accessibility services start at $150 per month.
Pricing depends on your needs - but the better question is: What is it costing you to stay invisible or off-brand?
-
How long does it take you to develop a new website?
Our process is generally 8-12 weeks from signing of the agreement to Go Live for a standard 10-page website. Sites with less complexity can take as little as 6-8 weeks.
-
What platforms do you use and support?
We primarily build in Duda, which is easy to use, secure, fast, and doesn’t require plugin babysitting like WordPress. We also support:
- HighLevel
- Kajabi
- Wix
- Shopify (for e-commerce)
We do not recommend (or support) WordPress for most Thought Leaders due to its high maintenance and security vulnerabilities.

-
What should I consider when hiring a Web Developer?
It is important to consider these things:
- Do they understand branding, messaging, and strategy - not just code?
- Do they offer full service and long-term support?
- Do they “get” your business and voice?
- Will they build a site that positions you as the authority?
- Do they build sites that actually look professional and on-brand while offering accessibility and SEO readiness?
- What platform do they build on? If it's WordPress, is that what you really want? (Click here to read our blog about WordPress)
This is exactly what we do - and why our clients hire us again and again!

-
I already have a site. Can you work with it?
Yes! If you're on Duda, Kajabi, Wix, HighLevel, or Shopify, we can update or redesign your existing site. If you're on WordPress, we can take a look to determine scope and then, depending on the level of work required, we may recommend a rebuild or we will refer you to a WordPress expert we trust.
We always start with an Authority Visibility Analysis to see what’s working and what’s hurting your visibility.
-
What is SEO?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It's the practice of optimizing your website so that it ranks higher in search engine results, making it easier for potential clients to find you online.
Basic SEO is available through customizable SEO controls for each page of your website. SEO-related issues are best found using Google Search Console. As part of setting up your website, we connect your site to Google Search Console to help identify any ongoing challenges.
Local SEO is the strategy to increase local visibility for your business. We find that a highly-optimized Google Business Profile works best for this, which is also a service we offer.
-
What’s included in your SEO Readiness for websites?
We provide foundational SEO on every site:
- Keyword integration
- Meta titles and descriptions
- Image alt text
- Mobile optimization
- Fast-loading pages
- Link to Google Search Console
We also offer local SEO services through Google Business Profile optimization and management as well as Reputation Management to help you show up in local searches.
-
What are Reputation Management services?
Our Reputation Management service helps you take control of how your brand is perceived online - by showcasing the social proof that builds trust and authority.
Here’s what we do:
- Collect client reviews from key platforms like Google, Facebook, BBB, Yelp, and more
- Automatically create and publish review posts to your Google Business Profile and Facebook
- Add reviews directly to your website, so your visitors see your credibility right away
This service boosts visibility, reinforces trust, and positions you as the go-to expert in your field - without you lifting a finger.
-
Will my website be mobile-ready?
Absolutely! Every site we build is custom-designed to look and function perfectly on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. This is part of being SEO-ready and accessibility-conscious.
-
How do you handle website accessibility?
We use AudioEye to review your website for accessibility, manual accessibility customization where we can, and AudioEye's AI intervention to fix the items we are unable to fix, resulting in 98-99% accessibility. We have found this approach to be much more effective than simply using overlays.
Not only is this the right thing to do - it’s also a ranking factor for SEO.
Read here for more information about the legal implications for websites that are not accessible.
-
Can I have videos, documents, forms, podcasts, and/or blogs on my website?
Yes to all of the above! Videos work individually or as a link to sites such as YouTube or Vimeo. Documents can be viewed on or downloaded from your site. Forms are used to collect information or upload files with information forwarded to your email and/or your Google Sheets, MailChimp, or Zapier to other CRMs for storage. Blogs can be directly hosted on your site, and we can set up a custom RSS feed to your podcast host for your podcasts.
-
Can my website include memberships, online courses, calendar options, and/or events?
Yes! Our enhanced services include:
Membership Portals (locked content, resources, login areas)
Course setup on Owwlish (or through a collaboration partner)
Events through Tockify
Calendar Integration through Book Like a Boss, Bookafy, Calendly, or Acuity
We also offer integration with HighLevel CRM services that include all of this!
Your site should support your business model, not just show it off.
-
Do I need a custom email and how do I get it?
Yes, you really should! Using your domain (like hello@yourbrand.com) boosts professionalism and trust.
We recommend Google Workspace, starting at $7/month.
-
How does security work?
We include an SSL Certificate free with hosting, something that your potential customers and Google pay close attention to!
Per Network Solutions (http://www.networksolutions.com/education/what-is-an-ssl-certificate/), “An SSL Certificate (Secure Sockets Layer), also called a Digital Certificate, creates a secure link between a website and a visitor's browser. By ensuring that all data passed between the two remains private and secure, SSL encryption prevents hackers from stealing private information such as credit card numbers, names and addresses.
(Note: Some platforms and providers do not include an SSL certificate so you should always check!)
-
Will I own my website and will I be able to update it?
Yes! Once your website is complete and final payment has been made, your site will go live and we will give you full access to the website settings. You can edit, change, and update as much as you like. You can even move it if you like.
-
What is your revision and guarantee policy?
First, and most importantly, we don't go live until you LOVE your website!
You get unlimited revisions during the build (within the project scope), and we offer a 60-day post-launch guarantee where we will fix anything that was not done properly from the original project outline.
Bottom line: If you’re not obsessed with your site, we’re not done.
Still unsure where to start? That’s totally okay.
