Is Mainstay Design Co. the right fit for me?
We build sleek, effective websites designed specifically for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and freelancers. Our goal is to help you connect with your audience, capture leads, and grow your business online. Our websites are a great fit for home service providers, landscapers, solo entrepreneurs, and anyone looking for professional, friendly support.
How long does a website project take, and how soon can you start?
Our goal is to launch your new website within 30 days of completing our onboarding process. Larger sites or special features might require a bit more time, but we’ll always keep you informed. Typically, onboarding begins within one week of signing up.
What happens after the 24-month payment period?
Once your final payment is complete, you’ll fully own your website. From there, you can choose to manage it yourself or continue working with us through one of our optional ongoing care plans. There’s no obligation to stick with us, though we’d love to continue supporting your site!
Do I own my website?
Absolutely. Once your final payment is made—typically after 24 months—the website is officially yours. Until then, Mainstay retains ownership. If you wish to take over ownership of the site sooner than our 24-month payment structure you have the option to pay your remaining balance in full.
What assets will I need to get started?
During onboarding, we’ll provide clear instructions for the materials needed, including things like your logo, photos, and written content (unless you’ve opted for our stock photography and professional copywriting services).
Will you provide content for my website?
We offer two options: you can follow our easy content outline to write your own content, or you can choose our professional copywriting service for an additional $225 per page.
Why do you use WordPress?
We choose WordPress because it offers the best balance of flexibility, security, and functionality. Powering over 40% of websites worldwide, it’s a trusted platform that can easily grow alongside your business.
Will my website be optimized for mobile devices?
Absolutely—mobile optimization is essential. Your Mainstay website will look great and function smoothly on all devices, including smartphones and tablets.
How do I get started?
Simply reach out through our Contact Page! We’ll follow up by email to answer your questions, help you choose the right package, and get your project started.
How much does a Mainstay website cost?
Our pricing starts at $175/month, spread over a 24-month period, making it accessible for businesses of all sizes. Rather than requiring a large upfront payment, we use this straightforward monthly model to help lower financial barriers. Prefer to pay upfront? No problem—just contact us to arrange a custom payment plan.
What if I change my mind before the 24 months are up?
You’re never locked in. If you decide to end your contract early, you can either pay the remaining balance and take full ownership or stop payments and have the site shut down. Keep in mind, Mainstay retains ownership until the final payment is made.
Do you offer a money back guarantee?
Yes! We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If within the first 30 days you decide we’re not the right fit, we’ll refund your initial payment. After that, you’re free to cancel anytime without further refunds for previous payments.
Will you provide images or do I need to?
We highly recommend using authentic images of your business for a personal touch, but if that’s not possible, we can provide carefully selected stock photos that align with your brand.
Will you be available to help after my website is launched?
Definitely! We provide varying levels of ongoing support during the first 24 months, and after that period, you can choose one of our affordable ongoing care plans for continued website support.
What is SEO, and will my website be optimized for it?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) helps your website rank higher in Google search results, making it easier for customers to find you. We incorporate foundational SEO practices into every website we build, and we offer advanced SEO services as part of our premium packages. Learn more about the basics of SEO here.
