Q: Can’t I just use Wix/WordPress and do it myself?

A: You can—but most DIY sites struggle with structure, messaging, SEO setup, speed, mobile optimization, and conversion. The real cost is time and missed leads. I build it correctly from the start so it performs, not just “exists.”

Q: What’s the biggest difference between a DIY site and a professional site?
A: Strategy. A professional site is designed to (1) rank locally, (2) build trust fast, and (3) convert visitors into calls and quote requests—while looking clean on mobile and loading quickly.

Q: I tried building my own site and got stuck—what happens now?

A: That’s common. I can take over, rebuild it properly, or redesign what you started. We’ll keep what makes sense and fix what’s holding it back.

Q: How long does a professional website take compared to DIY?

A: DIY often drags out for weeks or months because you’re juggling business, content, photos, and setup. With TLF, you get a guided process: I will gather what I need, I build, we review, and then I launch.

Do I really need a website if I already use Facebook?

Yes. Social media is rented space—you don’t control the platform, the rules, or who sees your posts. A website is your owned home base: it builds credibility, shows up on Google, and gives customers a reliable place to contact you, see your work, and take the next step.

What will a website do for my business that word-of-mouth can’t?

Word-of-mouth is powerful, but a website turns referrals into customers faster. People will still look you up online before they call. A strong site answers their questions, shows trust signals (reviews, photos, guarantees), and makes it easy to reach you.

Q: Why should I choose TLF Web Studio instead of a big agency?

A: You get direct access to the person building your site. No runaround, no sales layers, and no cookie-cutter approach. I build for local businesses with practical budgets and real goals—calls, leads, and credibility.

Q: What makes TLF Web Studio different from other web designers?

A: I focus on results and simplicity: clean design, clear messaging, mobile-first layout, local SEO fundamentals, and a site structure built to convert. You’ll know what you’re getting, what it costs, and what the next step is.

Q: Do you help with content, photos, and what to say on the site?

A: Yes. I can help write or refine your service descriptions, organize your pages, and guide you on what photos to use. The goal is clarity: visitors should understand what you do and how to contact you within seconds.

Q: Will my website work on phones and load fast?

A: Yes. Mobile responsiveness and performance are baseline requirements. A site that looks good but loads slowly or breaks on mobile will lose leads.

Q: Can you connect contact forms, calls, and messaging?

A: Yes. I set up contact forms, click-to-call buttons, map integration, and lead routing so customers can reach you easily and you can respond quickly.

Q: Do you provide ongoing support after launch?

A: Yes. I offer ongoing maintenance/support so your site stays updated, secure, and running properly—and so you’re not stuck troubleshooting technical issues.

Q: Can you redesign my existing website?

A: Yes. If your site looks outdated, isn’t generating leads, or isn’t mobile-friendly, a redesign can improve trust, clarity, speed, and conversions.

Q: What kinds of businesses do you work with most?

A: Local service businesses and small companies—contractors, automotive, accounting/tax services, and other “call-driven” businesses that need leads and credibility.
