### Guides (https://mrwebsitedesigner.com/guides/)
Eight ungated explainer pages written for small-business owners, covering the questions that decide a website project before anyone signs. Author: Alex Kushner. No forms or gating.

### What a custom website costs (https://mrwebsitedesigner.com/website-cost/)
Custom website projects start at $2,500. Brochure sites and redesigns typically land between $2,500 and $5,000; larger marketing sites reach $6,000; e-commerce builds start at $3,500 and scale with catalogue size. Hosting with support starts at $100/month. Price is driven by the number of unique layouts, who writes the content, e-commerce, integrations, and migration — not by design talent. Includes a table of project types with starting figures, typical ranges, and timelines, and an explanation of why agency quotes for the same brief differ so widely. Position: these are honest starting figures, not teaser pricing, and every project is quoted after a scoping conversation.

### How long a website build takes (https://mrwebsitedesigner.com/website-timeline/)
A 5–8 page site takes 3 to 5 weeks; a 10–20 page marketing site takes 5 to 9 weeks; e-commerce takes 6 to 14 weeks. Breaks the project into six phases with durations, noting that three of the six are waiting on the client. Identifies unwritten content and piecemeal feedback as the causes of almost every delay. States that testing and redirect planning will not be compressed to hit a date; phased launches are used instead.

### Custom vs template websites (https://mrwebsitedesigner.com/custom-vs-template-website/)
A template exchanges flexibility and differentiation for speed and cost — a different trade, not a worse website. Includes an eight-row comparison table. Templates are recommended for conventional offers, tight budgets, two-week timelines, and venture validation. Templates start costing money when the sales process does not fit the layout, when the business competes on trust, or when performance and accessibility are requirements. States that a custom site is not harder to edit and that the client owns the site, content and domain either way.

### What local SEO is (https://mrwebsitedesigner.com/what-is-local-seo/)
Local SEO is getting found in place-based searches and the Google map pack, driven by relevance, distance and prominence rather than content volume. Compares local and national SEO in a table. Identifies the Google Business Profile as the highest-leverage asset — not the website — followed by reviews, NAP consistency, location-relevant pages, and structured data. Recommends completing the profile before spending anything on the website. Notes that DFW is one of the densest small-business markets in the country, citing Census Bureau Statistics of U.S. Businesses.

### WordPress vs Shopify vs Squarespace (https://mrwebsitedesigner.com/wordpress-vs-shopify-vs-squarespace/)
There is no best platform, only a best fit. WordPress for service businesses needing content and local SEO control, with the caveat that unmaintained WordPress is a real security risk. Shopify when products, inventory, payments and shipping are core. Squarespace for small simple sites the owner will edit personally. Includes an eight-row comparison table and guidance for businesses selling both products and services.

### Redesigning without losing rankings (https://mrwebsitedesigner.com/website-redesign-without-losing-seo/)
Rankings survive a redesign when every old URL keeps its address or gets a 301 redirect to its true equivalent, and the ranking content survives the rewrite. Defines 301, 302, 404 and redirect chains. Lists seven causes of post-redesign traffic loss, led by a redirect map that was never made. Includes a six-stage migration table from pre-design URL export through the first 90 days. Notes that a removed page needs a 301 to its closest equivalent, not a blanket redirect to the homepage.

### What makes a website convert (https://mrwebsitedesigner.com/what-makes-a-website-convert/)
A site converts when the visitor understands what the business does, sees a reason to trust it, and finds one obvious action — within seconds. Lists nine elements a lead-generating small-business site needs, including a tappable phone number, attributed proof, and pricing signals. Explains why visitors leave without contacting. Distinguishes more leads from more qualified leads, recommending specificity — stating what the business does not do, publishing pricing signals — over persuasion.

### Questions to ask before signing (https://mrwebsitedesigner.com/questions-to-ask-a-web-designer/)
Five questions to ask any web design agency: who owns the site, content and domain; what happens after launch and what the first year costs; who does the work; what is explicitly not included; and how a site with existing rankings will be migrated. Lists answers that should end the conversation, including guaranteed Google rankings, retaining the client's domain, and estimates with no scope attached. Lists what to bring to a first meeting.

### Location pages
Fourteen city pages (Allen, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Addison, Richardson, Garland, Dallas, The Colony, Carrollton, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Irving, Lewisville) each with unique local context, relevant industries, and city-specific FAQs. The Richardson address above is the company's one physical office; other cities are service-area coverage, not additional office locations.
