How long does it take to build my website?

Most projects take 1–3 weeks from the moment all client content is ready. Essential Launch packages are typically done in 7–10 days. Business Growth takes 14–21 days. Custom/Enterprise timelines are scoped per project. A firm deadline is always provided before starting.

Do I need to provide content?

The basics are needed: business name, services, contact info, and any photos available. High-converting copy is written based on your input. If professional photos aren't available, high-quality stock photography matching the brand will be used.

What does 'static website' mean, and why does it matter?

A static website is served as pre-built HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files — no database, no server-side processing, no WordPress. This means it loads instantly, has zero hacking attack surface, and never goes down. For 99% of small businesses, it's the best possible architecture.

Can I update the website myself after launch?

Yes. A simple handoff guide with instructions for making text and image changes is provided. For more complex updates, support options include hourly rates or retainer banks.

Do you offer refunds?

Refunds are not offered once design work has started, but unlimited revisions are offered within the project scope until the client is genuinely happy with the result. No client has ever walked away unhappy.

What if I need features not listed in the packages?

Reach out — custom solutions are built all the time. E-commerce, booking systems, multilingual sites, CRM integrations. If it can be built on the web, it can be scoped.

Do you handle technical setup and performance?

Yes. Every project includes solid technical setup: clean code, clear structure, image optimization, and fast load times.

Do you work with businesses outside the US?

Absolutely. The studio works with businesses globally. All communication is in English, and communication is async-friendly for international time zones.

Websites & Social Media Built with Honesty. No Hidden Fees.

Shani - Founder of Take a Web, web design studio for small businesses

Hi, I'm Shani.

I’m a product and operations builder with a background in business and psychology. I specialize in turning ideas into structured systems that help businesses grow.

I founded Take a Web after seeing many small business owners lose customers to slow, outdated websites, while paying high fees to agencies that didn't meet expectations.

I believe every small business should have access to straightforward pricing and a professional website that holds its own against bigger competitors—right now, without needing a larger budget.

MY PROMISE

You will always know what you are paying for.
You will always know what you own.
You will always know what your options are.

"Your website is your digital home. You should not rent your home."

I believe a small business website — and the content that supports it — should be:

Clear

No confusing jargon. No vague deliverables. You understand exactly what you are getting.

Fairly Priced

Transparent, one-time pricing. No surprise invoices. No hidden fees.

Fully Owned by You

You own the code, the design, the data, and the domain. If you walk away, it all goes with you.

No tricks. No confusing contracts. No forced subscriptions.
Just a professional website and content that works.

The Difference

What Makes This Different

Most website companies charge monthly maintenance fees. If you stop paying, your website can disappear. With Take a Web:

✓ You own your website outright
✓ You pay your hosting company directly
✓ If you don't need updates, you pay nothing
✓ When you do need help, you reach out and pay only for that work

If you are building something real, your website and content should reflect that. My goal is simple: give small businesses the same level of digital presence as larger brands, without long-term contracts or confusing fees.
