FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with Quantum Web Design.

Do I own my website?

Yes, absolutely. Once your website is built and paid for, you own it completely. We can hand over all files, logins and access details after its launch. You can also transfer your domain to other hosting company at any point.

How long does it take to build my website?

Depending on the package, websites are typically delivered within 7–14 days from when we receive your content and sign-off on the design direction. We keep you updated every step of the way.

What do I need to provide?

We'll need your logo (if you have one), any photos or images you'd like to use and a copy of your current website copy if you have one. And don't worry - we can help with all of this if needed!

Are there any ongoing costs?

Your package price is a one-off payment — there's nothing else to pay during your first year. From Year 2, we ask for a small annual amount to keep your website live and looked after. This covers hosting, domain renewal, SSL, security checks, backups, minor updates and an annual check-in. It starts from just £199/yr for the Core Package and stays the same price every year — no increases, ever.

What happens after the first year?

When your first year is up, we'll get in touch to see if you'd like us to carry on looking after your site. There's absolutely no contract or obligation — you own your website outright and are free to move it to another provider at any time. If you do choose to continue with us, the annual cost stays the same year after year. We simply carry on doing what we do: keeping your site running, secure and up to date.

Can I upgrade my package later?

Yes! You can upgrade your package or add features at any time. We'll let you know the difference and get it done quickly. Your website is always built to scale.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we offer flexible payment options. Typically a 10-15% deposit upfront and the remainder on completion. For larger projects we can arrange monthly instalments. Please get in touch to discuss.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes, completely free and with no obligation. We enjoy talking to businesses about their online goals and we'll never pressure you into anything. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you honestly.

How quickly will I receive a response?

After our initial consultation call, we typically send a detailed proposal within 24–48 hours. We take time to prepare a thorough response rather than a rushed one.

Do I need to be based in the North East?

Not at all! We work with businesses across the whole of the UK. Everything is handled remotely via email and video call. Distance is never a barrier to a great website.

What information should I prepare?

It helps to have a rough idea of the pages you need, your target audience, any websites you like the look of, and your brand colours/logo if you have them. But don't worry if you're starting from scratch — we'll guide you through everything.

Can you redesign an existing website, or only build from scratch?

Both. We redesign existing websites all the time — whether that's a full visual overhaul, a structural rebuild, or simply modernising something that's looking dated. We'll review your current site, understand what's working and what isn't, and propose the most practical approach. In some cases a full rebuild is the better investment; in others, a targeted redesign is all that's needed. We'll always be honest with you about which makes more sense.

Will my website be found on Google?

Every website we build is set up with solid SEO foundations — clean code, fast load times, proper heading structure, meta tags, schema markup, and Google Search Console submission. This gives your site the best possible start. That said, ranking on Google for competitive terms takes time and ongoing effort beyond the build itself. We'll set your site up to be found; if you need more aggressive SEO or Google Ads, we offer those as add-ons too.

How does the process work after I get in touch?

Once you submit the form, we'll review your enquiry and get back to you — usually within one working day — to arrange a free consultation call. On that call we'll learn about your business, your goals, and what you need. From there we'll send a tailored proposal. If you're happy to proceed, we take a deposit to kick things off, and from there it's design, build, review, and launch. The whole process is straightforward and we keep you informed at every step.

I already have a website — can you take it over?

Yes. Whether you want us to manage and maintain your existing site, rebuild it entirely, or simply improve specific parts of it, we're happy to help. We'll start by taking a look at what you have, understanding the platform it's built on, and advising on the best path forward. There's no obligation to rebuild — if your current site just needs care and updates, a care plan may be all you need.

Our Promise

Why Quantum?

A family business that genuinely cares

We're not a faceless agency with a revolving door of account managers. You'll deal with the same two people from first conversation to launch day — and beyond. Your success genuinely matters to us.

The same price, year after year

We don't believe in hiking prices every year. The price you agree today is the price you'll pay if you come back to us in two, three or five years' time. No inflation, no surprises — just fair, consistent pricing for the long term.

Built for small and local businesses

We know times have been tough for small businesses. Our prices are deliberately set to be accessible — because we believe every local business deserves a great website, not just those with big budgets. No compromises on quality, ever.

100% custom — no templates, no shortcuts

Larger agencies charge a premium for fully bespoke work. We do it on every single project, regardless of budget. You always get a website designed specifically for your business — not a theme with your logo swapped in.
