Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know it’s time to update or upgrade my website?

A: Your website is like your digital storefront, and just like any physical storefront, it needs regular updates and maintenance to keep it looking fresh and inviting to customers. You may notice it’s time to update your website if it:

  • looks outdated or unprofessional
  • is difficult to navigate
  • takes a long time to load
  • is not mobile-friendly, or
  • if you’ve made significant changes to your business.

If you haven’t updated your website in a while, it’s time to give it a second look and see if it still reflects your business’s current goals and values.

Can you make sure that my website meets accessibility requirements?

Yes! We take accessibility seriously (we want everyone to enjoy your new website). A few things we look out for include:

  • ‌Colour contrast between your text and backgrounds
  • Meeting minimum font size recommendations
  • Using alt tags for all images
  • Using a proper heading structure on your site
How long does it typically take to design and develop a website?

Most custom websites take 8-12 weeks from the signing of the contract to launch day. On our discovery call we can discuss any target launch dates and our current availability to get started before putting together a project timeline that works for you.

I need help with my photos and/or copy. Any recommendations?

We have worked with numerous photographers and copywriters and can make recommendations for professionals from our network that would be a great fit. We can also make recommendations for business lawyers, social media strategists, bookkeepers, and website designers that work in platforms that we do not currently support.

What is your approach to website maintenance and updates?

We want your website to continue running smoothly long after launch day. We have various support packages available to our website clients, and we also offer support as-needed. We can assist with content maintenance (images, copy updates, new pages, etc.) as well as the more behind-the-scenes things like making sure your plugins, themes and WordPress core files are up-to-date. It is extremely important to maintain your site to ensure it remains secure and optimized for performance. Website maintenance is like an oil change for your car, and even a new car needs to be properly maintained to run smoothly.

What is different about working with Inkling Design?

We only work with clients that are a great fit. It sounds cheesy but we really do care about our clients and want their businesses to succeed. Our enthusiasm for our clients’ successes paired with our expertise in creating custom WordPress websites make us an ideal partner.

Together we can bring your idea to life
