FAQ

Questions owners ask us

Can't see yours? Email LinwoodStudiosTeam@gmail.com and we'll answer it plainly.

Is the free concept homepage really free?

Yes. Send us your business name and a little about what you do, and we'll design a sample homepage so you can see the idea. There's no cost and no obligation. If you like it, we build it. If not, no worries.

How does the founding offer work?

Our first 3 clients get the Starter Website for $399 instead of $599. There's no deposit: we build the site, you review it, and you pay only once you approve it, before it goes live. Once 3 founding clients have said yes, the offer ends.

What do you need from me to get started?

Your business details (services, hours, phone, address or service area), your logo if you have one, and any photos you'd like to use. If you don't have photos, we use free-licence stock images or simple graphics. We'll send you a short checklist.

How fast is “live within 72 hours”?

For the Starter Website, the 72 hours starts once we have the 50% deposit and your content (founding clients pay no deposit, so it starts once we have your content). Online stores take up to 10 business days from the deposit and your product details. If content or feedback takes longer, the timeline moves with it, and we'll always tell you where things are up to.

Who owns the website and domain?

You do. Your domain is registered in your name and paid by you (usually about $15–$30 a year). Once the project is paid in full, the website content and design files we made for you are yours.

Are there ongoing costs?

For a Starter Website, hosting is set up on a reliable free or low-cost host, so many sites only pay for the domain. Care plans are optional. For an online store, you pay the store platform's own monthly fee and card fees directly (typically around $42–$56 a month for the platform), and we'll walk you through those numbers before you decide.

How do I pay?

We send you an invoice: 50% to start and the balance when you approve the site, before it goes live (founding clients pay the full $399 on approval). We don't take payments through this website.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes. You get a short how-to guide at handover. If you'd rather not, the care plan covers small monthly updates like hours, prices and specials.

Do you guarantee Google rankings or more sales?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. We set up the basics properly (page titles, descriptions, business details and your Google Business Profile) so Google can understand your business, but rankings and sales depend on many things outside our control.

Are the designs on this page real client websites?

No. They are concept designs for sample businesses, made to show the style of work. The business names, phone numbers and addresses in them are placeholders.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. Websites are a one-off price. Care plans are month to month and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected by anything in our terms.
