Frequently asked questions
What tech stack do you build on?
+
Primarily Next.js (for custom builds) and headless WordPress (for content-heavy sites). We choose the stack based on your team's ability to maintain it after launch, not on what we prefer.
How long does a custom website take?
+
Simple marketing sites: 4–6 weeks. Custom applications or multi-site platforms: 8–16 weeks. We share a detailed timeline with milestones before kickoff.
Do you include content creation and SEO?
+
Yes — content strategy, on-page SEO, schema markup, and launch content are included. Ongoing content production is a separate monthly retainer.
What does the security + maintenance portion include?
+
SSL certificates, web application firewall, malware scanning, daily backups, plugin/core updates, uptime monitoring, and priority technical support. Covered under our Website Hosting & Maintenance service.
Do I own the code and content after launch?
+
Yes. You own all code, content, accounts, and assets. We don't lock clients into proprietary platforms or charge license fees for site ownership.
How does pricing work?
+
We scope every engagement to your goals and send a fixed-fee or monthly retainer proposal within one business day. Pricing depends on scope, not hours — you'll know the cost up front.
Do you work with small businesses or only enterprise?
+
Both. We have clients ranging from solo law firms and local businesses to multi-location operations and corporations. The minimum viable engagement is whatever delivers measurable ROI for your size.
How quickly can we start?
+
Most engagements kick off within one to two weeks of signing. Urgent projects (broken ads accounts, emergency site issues) can start within 48 hours.
Are you based in the US?
+
Yes. A. Smith Media is based in Frisco, Texas, and all work is performed by our in-house team. We serve clients across the United States.
