Frequently Asked Questions

• How long does it take to build a website?

  The project timeline varies based on the scope and complexity of your website, but most Advanté-BCS website builds are completed within 8 to 10 weeks. You’ll receive a clear schedule at the outset, and our team will keep you updated at every phase.

  Our website design services deliver everything you need for a seamless launch and sustained success. We handle strategy, project planning, custom design, and mobile-optimized development.

• Can you redesign my existing website?

  Yes, many clients come to Advanté-BCS to enhance an existing website, and website redesigns are our specialty. Whether your current site looks outdated, is difficult to navigate, or isn’t delivering results, we’ll transform it into a modern, intuitive platform that reflects your brand and supports your business goals.

• What platforms do you use (WordPress, Shopify, etc.)?

  At Advanté-BCS, we primarily recommend WordPress for its robust market share and extensive plugin ecosystem. As one of the few U.S. agencies with decades of Joomla expertise, we have supported and developed Joomla sites since 2003. We also design and develop on Shopify, Drupal, HubSpot CMS, and other leading platforms to provide solutions best suited to your unique business goals.

• Can you code a custom web app for me?

  Yes, Advanté-BCS has specialized in custom website application development since 2006. Our expertise spans custom WordPress plugins, Joomla extensions, and a full range of web apps, including proprietary content management systems tailored to your business.

• Can you match my existing brand/logo/colors?

  Absolutely. We anchor your website in your existing branding to ensure consistent messaging across all marketing channels. If you need a new brand identity developed, Advanté-BCS will help you create a cohesive, professional look that reflects your business.

• Will my website look good on phones and tablets?

  Yes, every website we build is fully responsive, delivering flawless performance and appealing design across desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. For clients seeking the highest impact with mobile users, we also offer mobile-first design strategies tailored to your business growth objectives.

• Can I see examples of websites you’ve designed?

  Absolutely. You can explore our portfolio of recent projects on our website. We’re happy to showcase examples tailored to your industry and business goals, and will walk you through real results to demonstrate our expertise.

• How involved can I be in the design process?

  We believe in close collaboration and value your feedback at each stage of your project. You'll be involved during planning, design, and revision to ensure the final website fully aligns with your vision and goals. While you remain informed and engaged, our team handles the heavy lifting, leveraging our expertise to deliver successful, worry-free results.

• Will my website be fast and secure?

  Yes. Our websites are built with industry-leading performance and security standards. We optimize images, use clean code, enable HTTPS encryption, and ensure full compatibility with secure hosting environments to protect your business and deliver fast, reliable user experiences.

• Can I update the website myself after it’s launched?

  Yes, we build user-friendly websites on content management system (CMS) platforms that allow you to make updates without needing to know code. We also provide training to show you how to update content, add pages, or post blogs if you like but most clients prefer that we take care of those tasks and opt to engage us for website support services.

• Will you integrate features like contact forms, booking systems, or eCommerce?

  Absolutely. Advanté-BCS regularly integrates contact forms, appointment scheduling, payment gateways, eCommerce platforms, and custom web applications to support your specific business needs and streamline your customer experience.

• Do you offer templates to keep project costs low?

   

  At Advanté-BCS, we never use templates for website design. Templates rarely align with your unique brand and often introduce limitations that delay launch and lead to added costs. We believe that fully custom design consistently delivers better alignment, performance, and long-term value for your business.

   

• Do you offer website design for small startups?

  We primarily partner with established small businesses that are ready to elevate their online presence. Our website design services are best suited for companies looking for a strategic upgrade, rather than startups seeking their first entry into the market.

• Will my website be optimized for Google?

  Yes, every Advanté-BCS website is built with the latest on-page SEO best practices. We optimize meta tags, structure headers correctly, ensure mobile responsiveness, and prioritize fast load times. If you want to further elevate your search rankings, we also offer advanced SEO services tailored to your business goals.

• Do you include SEO services or is that separate?

  Every Advanté-BCS website includes foundational on-site SEO, covering keyword-focused page titles, optimized meta descriptions, and clean site structure, all built into your project cost. For advanced ongoing SEO, such as content marketing and link building, we provide dedicated packages to help you achieve lasting, measurable growth.

• Do you offer ongoing support or maintenance?

  Yes, Advanté-BCS offers website support plans that include regular software updates, secure backups, proactive security monitoring, and content updates. Most clients choose ongoing support to ensure peak website performance and peace of mind. We are proud to have long-standing client relationships, with many businesses trusting us for 15 to 20 years or more.

• Do you offer hosting or help with domain setup?

  Yes, Advanté-BCS delivers fully managed hosting for our clients. We also handle domain registration and configuration, ensuring your entire web presence is secure, streamlined, and expertly managed from one trusted source.

• What kind of training do you provide for managing the site?

  For clients who want hands-on website management, Advanté-BCS provides personalized training after launch, either by video call or in person. We make sure you’re comfortable updating text, images, and essential site features, empowering you to manage your website with confidence. For more complex updates, our comprehensive support packages ensure our experts handle everything for you.
