## Why custom: most local sites start from a template. Yours shouldn't.

| | NMBL | Typical template site |
|---|---|---|
| Built on | Custom code, written in Svelte or React | A theme everyone else bought too |
| Who builds it | The same person who designed it | Handed off, then pieced together |
| Speed | Fast by default | Slowed down by plugins |
| Editing | A simple CMS made for your content | A page builder that breaks layouts |
| Looks like | Your business | Someone else's demo |

## FAQs

### How much does a website cost in Santa Cruz?

It depends on the number of pages, the features you need, and whether you need branding too. Every project is scoped to your goals, and you'll get a clear proposal with pricing before any work starts.

### Do you work with businesses in Aptos, Capitola, and Scotts Valley?

Yes. We work with businesses across Santa Cruz County, from Aptos and Capitola to Scotts Valley, Watsonville, and Felton, and with clients around the Monterey Bay and beyond.

### Can we meet in person?

Yes. Our studio is at 2825 Porter St in Soquel, and we're happy to meet in person for kickoffs and workshops, or over coffee somewhere closer to you. Video calls work just as well if that's easier.

### Will a new website help me show up in local search?

It helps. Every site we build is fast, mobile-friendly, and set up with clean markup, structured data, and metadata, which gives search engines what they need to understand your business and where you serve. Pair that with a complete Google Business Profile and good reviews for the best local results.

### How long does a website project take?

It depends on scope and how quickly feedback comes back. A smaller site moves faster than a larger one with custom features or ecommerce. We map out the schedule together at the start, so you know when to expect each step.
