Frequently Asked Questions
If your burning questions aren’t answered here please get in touch and let us know what’s on your mind.
Are Smoothies for me?
We’re glad you asked. If any of these sound familiar, then chances are Smoothies are a great fit for you.
- You want a website that’s unique without breaking the bank.
- You have a pretty good idea what pages or sections you need in your website. There are probably less than 10 pages and one or two sections for a blog or news, and maybe a product catalogue.
- You’ve never used WordPress before, but you’ve heard it’s way better than old-school websites. You’re excited to be able update the content on your site yourself.
Will I be able to make updates to my site? (And, what if I don’t want to do that stuff myself?)
Yes! You’ll be able to update all the pages in your site, including posting pictures, documents, YouTube videos and more. You won’t need to know how to code, and your overall site layout will be kept pretty and safe through the magic of WordPress. And if you don’t even want to touch the super-easy editing tool for making updates, there are many virtual assistants comfortable with WordPress so you could have someone do it for you.
What if I don’t have a logo?
If you only need a simple text logo, you can add a booster for us to design that. If you need a more complicated logo, you should have that designed before you order your Smoothie.
Why don’t you list complex logo design services here?
We love to work with your logo already done because it can really affect the design of your site. It also usually means you’ve spent some time exploring the nature of your business and how you’d like it communicated. This means we can jump straight to the juicy mixing of your logo and complementary elements. But we understand that a full logo design might not make sense for everyone, which is why we offer basic text-only logo design as a booster to your Smoothie site.
If you are looking for a full logo design, we recommend you reach out to Dave directly via Sparky Firepants Images. It’s his mission in life to help you with that stuff.
How long does it take until my site is ready?
Great question. That depends in part on whether you’ve ordered custom illustration or not, how long it takes to gather input from you, and how quickly we can start. A safe guesstimate is 3 – 6 weeks until your site is ready for content. And remember, if you have the content ready we’ll insert up to 10 pages of content when we build the site. If not, we turn it over to you with placeholder pages which you can fill in as you’re able to.
