Web design
What does a web design studio actually do for a founder?
I build the site that turns your traffic into calls and signups. That means strategy, layout, copy direction, and a custom website your team can run on its own after launch.
How much does a custom website cost?
It depends on scope: page count, whether the copy exists, and how many tools need connecting. I do not publish a price because a starting figure I cannot stand behind is worse than none. You get one fixed number after a short call, and the audit that sets it is delivered in 5 working days.
How long does a website take to design and launch?
Usually two to four weeks for a focused site. Bigger builds with custom pages or a CMS take longer, and you get a dated timeline before any work starts.
Do you build responsive websites that work on phones?
Yes. Every site I ship is mobile responsive by default, and I test it on real phones and tablets rather than just shrinking a browser window.
Should I use a template or hire a web designer?
Hire someone if the site has to sell. Templates are fine for a hobby page, but a service business website needs structure built around how your buyers actually decide.
Why does my service business website matter that much?
Because it is often the first real impression a buyer gets. A vague or dated site makes a strong business look risky, and you lose leads before anyone reaches out.
Can you redesign my current site instead of starting over?
Yes. If the foundation is solid I keep what works and fix the parts that lose people. When the whole thing fights you, a rebuild usually costs less than patching.
What is website strategy and do I need it?
Website strategy is deciding what the site has to do before anyone opens a design tool. You need it, because a good-looking site with no plan just sits there and quietly underperforms.
How do you handle brand positioning in the design?
I pull it out of you first. A short session on who you serve and why you are different shapes the messaging, so the design actually says something.
Do your web design services include the copy?
I handle direction and structure, and I can write the words or work from yours. Either way the copy and the layout get designed together, never bolted on at the end.
Is ORD Studio a good fit for early-stage founders?
Yes. I work mostly with founders and small B2B teams, so the process stays direct and fast, with no agency layers between you and the person doing the work.
What happens to my website after it goes live?
You own it, and I stay on if you want me to. Ongoing support covers edits, new pages, and fixes, so the site keeps up as the business changes.
