FAQ

Questions owners ask us.

Straight answers. If yours is not here, contact us.

Is the demo really free?

Yes. We design your new homepage first, at no cost.

If you love it, we build the rest. If you don't, you owe nothing and you keep your time.

Free demo
How much does a website cost?

$2,000 for the complete site, up to 7 pages: the 5 every local business needs (Home, About, Menu or Services, Gallery and Contact) plus 2 extras you choose based on your priorities and what makes your business different (for example Online Ordering, Reservations, Catering, Events, Reviews, Specials or Careers).

Included: your own panel to update specials, menu, hours and text anytime; your menu with online reservations and orders connected; all the writing, basic local SEO, Google Maps and tap to call; and 2 rounds of changes before launch.

Most owners pay in two payments of $1,000, which also includes a free marketing plan and the optimization of your Google Business Profile, Facebook page and Instagram profile. If money is tight, you can pay in four payments of $500 for the website only.

Optional on-site shoot, $990: we come to your place with a local photographer and videographer and direct a photo and video session planned around your business, your products or services and your space, ready for your site and your social media.

Quoted separately: online stores, custom software, monthly blog posts and extra languages.

Larger projects with custom features, a large product database, teams and a full company structure get an enterprise quote: we talk through your goals, evaluate the scope you need and build a budget that fits. We always offer in-house payment options and financing.

How fast can my site be live?

Your homepage demo is ready in 48 to 72 hours, sent to you as a link to review.

Once you make the first payment, your full site goes live in about 2 weeks, once we have your photos and info.

Free demo
Are there monthly fees?

Your $2,000 covers the build. After the final payment, everything is yours, and you choose:

Run it yourself with your owner panel (specials, hours, photos and events).

Add iDev Care, our optional website maintenance plan, for $249 a month: we manage it all for you, from your hosting, database and domain renewals to security, backups, updates and small changes, and we are always close by to help you grow. Hosting and domain stay in your name.

Or move it anywhere you like.

The only running cost once your site is finished is hosting plus database storage, about $20 a month (about $240 a year), paid to the provider. A domain, if you don't have one yet, is about $15 to $50 a year; if you already own one, you only pay hosting.

With iDev Care, we manage all of that for you: the hosting and domain stay in your name and you pay the provider directly, we just run it. New features or bigger projects later are quoted separately and agreed up front.

Free demo
Who owns the website?

You do. It works like a car title: your site can be live on our hosting while you pay.

Once the final payment is made, your domain, your code and your content are transferred to you.

Free demo
Got burned by a web guy before?

We hear that a lot. That is why you see the work before you pay, you pay in parts, and you can email or text the team that builds your site.

And once the final payment is made, everything is in your name.

Free demo
Can I update it myself?

Yes. Every site comes with an owner panel, so you can change specials, hours, events and photos from your phone. No developer needed.

Free demo
I already have a Facebook page. Do I need a website?

Facebook is great for posts, but customers searching on Google want your menu, hours and phone number in one place they can trust.

A website gives you that, and it is yours.

Free demo
I already have a website. Can you redo it?

Yes. We can redesign it from scratch or improve the pages that matter most.

Send us the link and we will start with a free demo of your new homepage.

Free demo
Will this put me first on Google?

Nobody can honestly promise rankings, and we won't.

What we do promise: a site that loads fast on phones, makes it easy to call, get directions or ask for a quote, and is set up the right way for Google. The marketing plan shows you the next steps.

If you want Google positioning specifically, we also offer Google SEO and Google Ads services for businesses, for around $1,500 a month.

Free demo
What do you need from me?

A quick call, text or email to confirm two details, and anything you already have: your logo, a few photos, your menu or services.

If you don't have photos, we can work with what is on your Facebook page to start.

Free demo
What is in the free marketing plan?

It comes with the two-payment option. First we study your ideal customer: age range, interests, behaviors, and how they find and choose businesses like yours. From that, we build the communication structure and the content formats that match how those customers use social media.

Then you get an action plan with your new digital brand identity (direction, do's and don'ts, and a graphic design plan to follow: hand it to your marketing team, or learn it and apply it yourself), scripting, and a guided structure to use AI (ChatGPT or Claude) to create videos and social posts for the months ahead.

If you want us to run it for you, our social media management is $1,500 a month, done for you.

Free demo
Do you help with Google reviews and my profiles?

Yes, with the two-payment option. We optimize your Google Business Profile so it is complete, trustworthy and easy to review, which helps you win more Google reviews.

We also tune your Facebook page and Instagram profile (profile picture, cover and bio) so your first impression matches your new site and new customers find you more easily.

Free demo
Do you do social media or Meta ads too?

Yes, if your business needs it and you want it. We have a dedicated team that runs your social media for around $1,500 a month.

If we work together, the website comes first, because it is your first digital impression and the most important structure. Social media builds on top of it.

Free demo
Are you local?

Yes. iDev is a web development, software and digital marketing company based in Dixon, Illinois, and we work the way we sell: digitally.

Our team of creative directors, developers and international social media managers works together with clients in the US and around the world.
