Question 1

How much does a website cost for a St. Augustine business?

Accepted Answer

Our projects start at $1,500 for a 1–2 page landing page, $3,500 for full multi-page business sites (Growth package), and $10,000+ for full authority builds. Every project includes mobile-first design, 95+ PageSpeed optimization, Core Web Vitals compliance, schema markup, and 30 days post-launch support. No monthly fees unless you choose a maintenance plan. We give you a firm quote after a 15-minute call.

Question 2

Why are most St. Augustine business websites so slow?

Accepted Answer

Our 2026 NE Florida study of 16,000 businesses found 98.29% fail Core Web Vitals — with an average load time of 11.1 seconds. The primary culprits are WordPress sites with 30–70 active plugins, unoptimized images, and no edge caching. St. Augustine businesses running Google Ads on these sites pay 40–80% more per click due to Quality Score penalties, and lose 88% of their paid traffic to bounce before the page renders.

Question 3

Do you work with businesses outside of St. Augustine?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we're based in Palm Coast and serve all of Northeast Florida. St. Augustine clients can meet in person or work fully remotely. Most of our process happens via video call: discovery, design review, and delivery. We also take nationwide projects for the right fit.

Question 4

What types of St. Augustine businesses do you work with most?

Accepted Answer

We work most frequently with service businesses that rely on phone calls and form submissions — marine dealers, HVAC and plumbing contractors, law firms, dental and medical practices, real estate agents, home builders, and local restaurants. If your business runs paid ads or depends on local search, site speed directly determines how much of that budget turns into actual leads.

Question 5

How long does it take to build a website for a St. Augustine business?

Accepted Answer

Landing pages take 3–10 business days. Full multi-page sites take 2–4 weeks depending on scope and content readiness. Larger authority builds run 6–8 weeks. We give you a firm timeline before the project starts and don't move deadlines without cause.

Question 6

Will my new site rank for "St. Augustine [service]" searches?

Accepted Answer

We build every site with local SEO structure baked in — city-specific metadata, schema markup (LocalBusiness, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList), canonical URLs, and proper heading hierarchy. We also optimize for Google Business Profile alignment. Rankings require sustained content and link building over time, but the technical foundation we deliver is what makes those efforts compound rather than fight against a slow, unstructured site.

Question 7

Can you fix my current slow WordPress site instead of rebuilding?

Accepted Answer

We can assess it. In our experience, WordPress sites with 20+ plugins can't be reliably brought to a consistent 95+ PageSpeed without a rebuild — the plugin interactions and database query overhead create a ceiling that optimization alone can't clear. For sites where most of the architecture is sound, we do performance-only engagements. For most small business WordPress sites in St. Augustine, a clean rebuild on a modern stack delivers better ROI than ongoing optimization.

Question 8

How do I know if my current website is hurting my ad campaigns in St. Augustine?

Accepted Answer

Check your Google Ads landing page experience rating — if it shows "Below average," your CWV failures are actively inflating your CPC. Also look at bounce rate and session duration in Google Analytics. If bounce rate exceeds 70% on paid traffic, your site is the primary cause. We offer a free CWV audit — we'll run your site through the same methodology as our NE Florida study and show you the exact numbers.
