FAQ – Frequently asked questions

FAQ – What services does Marble Websites offer?

Marble Websites specialises in creating modern, responsive, and easy-to-manage websites for schools, businesses, and organisations across the UK. Our services include bespoke website design, WordPress development, hosting, domain registration, ongoing maintenance, and SEO support. Whether you need a simple brochure site or a feature-rich platform, we can design and build it using our proven 5-step design process.

FAQ – Do you only work with small businesses?

No. While we have extensive experience creating dynamic and fun small business websites, we work with all types of clients. This includes schools, charities, sports clubs, local councils, and personal brands. Our approach is adaptable — we tailor every website to the client’s brand, audience, and goals.

FAQ – How much does a new website cost?

The cost of a new website depends on its size, features, and complexity. A simple informational site will cost less than an e-commerce store or an advanced booking system. At Marble Websites, we offer clear, transparent quotes with no hidden fees. Every project starts with a consultation so we can understand your needs and provide an accurate price before any work begins.

FAQ – How long does it take to build a website?

Most websites take between 4 and 8 weeks to complete, depending on the scope of the project and how quickly we receive content from you. Our 5-step design process is designed to keep things moving smoothly, with clear milestones for planning, design, development, and launch.

FAQ – Will my website work on mobile phones and tablets?

Absolutely. All Marble Websites designs are fully responsive, meaning they look and work perfectly on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. With most web traffic now coming from mobile devices, mobile optimisation is a top priority in every project we undertake.

FAQ – Can I update my website myself?

Yes. We build our websites on WordPress, a content management system (CMS) that allows you to edit text, upload images, add new pages, and post news updates without needing coding skills. We also provide training so you feel confident managing your own content after launch.

FAQ – What if I don’t have any website content yet?

No problem. We can help you create high-quality content, including text, images, and videos. We can also guide you through the process of collecting information and photography that best represents your brand. For schools, we often integrate photo galleries, event calendars, and downloadable documents such as term dates and policies.

FAQ – Do you offer website hosting and domains?

Yes. We can register and manage your domain name, as well as provide reliable hosting to keep your website online 24/7. Our hosting packages include regular backups, security monitoring, and performance optimisation.

FAQ – Will my website be secure?

Security is a key part of our design and development process. We implement SSL certificates, secure coding practices, and regular updates to protect your site from vulnerabilities. We also offer ongoing maintenance plans to ensure your website stays safe, fast, and up to date.

FAQ – Do you provide ongoing support after the website is launched?

Yes. We offer a range of support options, from ad-hoc updates to monthly maintenance packages. Whether you need technical assistance, design tweaks, or help adding new features, we’re here to keep your website running smoothly long after launch.

FAQ – Can you help with SEO?

Definitely. We build all websites with SEO best practices in mind, including fast loading times, mobile-friendly layouts, and optimised content structure. We can also provide keyword research, meta tags, and on-page SEO setup to improve your search rankings.

FAQ – Do you redesign existing websites?

Yes. If your current website feels outdated, slow, or difficult to use, we can give it a fresh, modern look while improving functionality and performance. Our redesign service follows the same 5-step design process, ensuring the transition is smooth and stress-free.
