Frequently asked questions
The questions clients ask most, answered honestly.
- How much does a website cost?
- A landing page starts at 600 AZN, a corporate site at 1 200 AZN and an e-commerce build at 2 500 AZN. Those are starting points — the final figure depends on the number of pages, the functionality and how many languages you need. Once I understand your requirements I give a firm price that does not change after work begins. Message me for a free estimate.
- How long does it take?
- Landing page 3–7 working days, corporate site 1–2 weeks, e-commerce 3–6 weeks. The slowest part is usually not the code — it is preparing the content, meaning the copy and images.
- Template (WordPress) or custom code?
- Honest answer: both have their place. For a simple blog, WordPress is enough and cheaper. But if speed, security and custom functionality matter, a Next.js build is clearly stronger — no plugin dependency, faster loading and better results on Google's performance metrics.
- Are the domain and hosting included?
- I help you register the domain in your own name — you own it, and that matters. For hosting I use Vercel; for small and mid-sized sites the free tier is usually sufficient, so there is often no monthly hosting cost.
- Will I be able to manage the site myself?
- Yes, an admin panel is built where it is needed — you change products, prices, text and images without code. I walk you through how it works at handover.
- Is there support after launch?
- Yes. Small fixes and any bugs are handled free for a period after handover. Beyond that we agree either hourly work or a monthly support arrangement.
- What does it take to rank on Google?
- I build the technical side: fast loading, correct metadata, structured data, sitemap, mobile readiness. But to be honest — technical SEO is a foundation, not a guarantee. Real results also need content on your topic and links from other sites, and that is ongoing work.
- Do you work remotely, or do we need to meet?
- Either works. I am based in Baku so we can meet; most projects, though, run entirely remotely over WhatsApp and email. I work in Azerbaijani, English and Russian.
- How does payment work — do I pay upfront?
- The work splits in two: 50% to start, 50% on delivery. That way you are not paying in full for something you have not seen, and I am not spending a month on work with no commitment behind it. Larger projects can be broken into staged milestones instead.
- What do you need from me to start?
- At minimum: what your business does, who you sell to, and two or three sites whose look you like. Having your logo, copy and images ready speeds things up; if you do not have them, we build the copy together around the structure. The slowest part is almost always the content, not the code.
- What do changes cost after the site is delivered?
- Small fixes and bugs are free for a period after handover. Beyond that we either work hourly or agree a monthly support arrangement. Content changes — copy and images — you make yourself through the admin panel, and those cost nothing.
- I already have a site and want it rebuilt rather than replaced — is that possible?
- Yes, that is a service of its own. I start with a technical audit of the existing site and tell you what is worth keeping and what needs rewriting. The critical part is redirecting old page URLs to the new ones — skip that and you lose your Google rankings.
