Web Design FAQs
Premium Websites has been designing websites since 2006. We started with hard-coded websites. Every website was coded with HTML and CSS. This was before website creation software actually worked.
We converted to designing in WordPress when blogging became a reality for the average person. WordPress is now a full content management system that can be optimized for great search engine placement.

We create websites for small businesses. Premium Websites offers web design packages that most small businesses will fit into. We can customize the package if you need a specific function or feature. Our packages start at $1595 and go up to $4195. Most websites that we create here in Vancouver WA will fit into one of those packages.
We do offer a 3-month payment plan for businesses that need it. The website will not go live until the payment plan is completed.
Why hire Premium Websites instead of a Freelancer?
Great question. Freelancers come and go. They are usually just making ends meet until they find the job they are looking for. Oftentimes, if you want to connect with them for changes in the future, they are no longer creating websites. They have disappeared or just won’t return your call or email. I get a lot of clients from people that have used freelancers in the past.
You are 100% responsible for the content of your website. This means all text, images, and video. You must also own the copyright for the content. That means you cannot copy from other websites or steal images from other websites. Images must be either purchased from a stock images company or photographer, or your own images that you took with your camera or cell phone. You will be the one that will be sued for copyright infringement if you use an image that you do not have the right to use.
I do not create content. I will reformat the content you provide based upon search engine optimization techniques that I know. However, you must provide the content originally.
This usually depends on the client. The biggest thing that holds up the website completion date is content. I can get a site up within 3 weeks of starting the project, yet this rarely occurs. I usually have to wait for the content to be created and submitted to me. I have clients that get their website up and running within a month, and I have clients that have waited over a year to complete the website. It is really up to you.
High ranking in the search engines is dependent on many different factors, including amount of keywords in your content and links.
Never trust a web company that says they can guarantee first page placement on Google. For one, Google does not design their search engine to be easily manipulated. And even the world’s top search engine experts would never claim to have a search engine “figured out”. The best way to be placed high in the search engines is to write a lot of good, relevant content for your website. This gives your site a lot of credibility and offers tremendous value to web users. Any page that you want ranked well in a search engine needs to have at least 500 words on it. Lack of quality content is the biggest reason websites do not rank well.
This depends entirely on when the search engines send out their web crawlers or spiders to index your site. This can take 1 week or 2 months! We help the process along by submitting your sitemap through Google Search Console. This lets them know you would like to be added to their queue for indexing. Using Google Search Console helps to get your site indexed within days of it launching.
Maintenance is the process of updating a website once the initial design phase has been completed. We offer maintenance on an hourly basis. Most good websites have new content updated regularly. Fresh content is what will keep your visitors coming back. Maintenance can also be:
- Keeping all plugins and the core WordPress files updated (Included with our hosting)
- Keeping content on the site current ~ employees come and go ~ is your Staff page updated?
- Troubleshooting any issues
- Adding or deleting images
- General changes to your website
Social Media encompasses many different sites. Any site that is interactive with the user can be considered social media. They can range from video and photo sharing sites, blogs, microblogs like Twitter, social sites like FaceBook and LinkedIn, bookmarking sites like Digg and Delicious, or any industry-specific websites. Social Media sites help build brand recognition, reputation, credibility, and links to your website.
The recommended minimum Social Media site are:
- Google My Business
If you want more results add:
- YouTube
- Any industry-specific sites
Social Media sites are liked by Search Engines. Your business profile will get ranked in a search engine just like a web page. Having many different profiles that are all linking to your website will give you a huge advantage over a competitor that is not using this strategy. Other advantages are; it helps your business build trust and credibility online – something that is very hard to gain with just a website. It also gives your potential clients many different ways to find you or your business – increasing the chances they will get to your website.
I have had clients contact me through Facebook – they prefer that method over email or phone. Meet your clients where they are comfortable. The more social media sites you have profiles on the better your site and business will perform. Don’t feel like you need to fully participate on every social media site, you do not.
