Devodin FAQ

Everything a business owner
asks before hiring us.

This page answers what business owners ask before hiring Devodin, a remote-first web design and marketing agency: how long a build takes, who owns the domain and files, how payment works, and how search and AI visibility fit in. Each answer stands on its own.
  • Three things put a business in Google results: a verified Google Business Profile, a site Google can crawl and understand, and pages that answer what people search for. Devodin sets up all three and reports monthly on which searches bring in inquiries. See how the search and content retainer works.
  • They can, and it is worth building for now. AI assistants cite pages that answer a question plainly, in self-contained passages, backed by structured data they can read. Devodin writes for that alongside conventional search, and checks what the assistants currently say about your business. Read what AI visibility means for a business.
  • Brand identity runs two to four weeks, a website three to six, an online store six to ten, and CRM & AI Automation implementation three to six weeks. Every stage in the written scope carries its own date, and you hear the day a date moves.
  • The first week is discovery: a call to confirm the scope, access to any existing accounts and brand files, and a written project plan with a date on every stage. You see the plan before any design or build work starts, so nothing about the process is a guess.
  • One named person on Devodin’s team owns your project from the first call to launch. They can tell you the state of the work without checking with anyone else, and they are who you call when something needs to change. See how a project runs, from first email to handover.
  • You do, entirely. The domain, the hosting login, the source code, the CMS access and the design files are registered in your name or handed over at completion. Moving to another agency needs nobody's permission.
  • Yes. Devodin audits the existing site and hosting first, then either rebuilds on the current platform or migrates to a new one, keeping the domain and content history intact wherever possible. You get a written handover plan before anything moves.
  • The site goes live, DNS and hosting are confirmed working, and you get a walkthrough of anything you will maintain yourself. Support then runs for the length stated in your scope, and a monthly care plan covers hosting, backups and security patching after that if you want one. See pricing.
  • Yes. Every build is designed and tested on phones before it is tested on a desktop, not the other way around. Devodin checks load speed against Core Web Vitals, plus tap targets and layout on actual devices, because a site that fails on a phone loses the visit before it starts.
  • A logo in every file format a vendor will ask for, a colour and type system, and a written style guide that says how to use both correctly. The test is whether a printer, a sign maker or your next hire can apply it without calling first. See what the brand identity package includes.
  • Lead follow-up, almost always. A new inquiry gets a reply the same day it arrives, routed into a CRM pipeline instead of a shared inbox nobody checks. From there, automation extends to booking reminders, review requests and internal handoffs, in that order of value.
  • Paid social and paid search campaigns, run against a lead target agreed in advance, plus a content calendar planned a month ahead and posted on schedule. Reporting ties every campaign to leads generated, not impressions or other vanity metrics.
  • A line or two about what you need and roughly when. Logins and existing brand files help but are not required before the first call; Devodin can request access directly once the scope is agreed. A reply comes within one business day, and the written scope follows the call within one business day. A business day is Monday to Friday. Get in touch.
  • Retainers bill monthly with no long-term contract, so stopping is a matter of telling us, and the written scope for your project sets out the details. The site keeps running either way, because the domain, the hosting and the files are already in your name. There is nothing to unlock and nothing to negotiate for.
  • They go to the team that does the work and are used to reply to you and write the scope. The privacy policy explains how they are handled. Ownership and cancellation for your project are set out in its written scope, and the terms of use cover the website itself.
  • One-off builds bill against project milestones, and retainers bill monthly. Anything added to the scope after work starts gets its own number in writing before it is built. See pricing for how each service is set up.
  • A website starts at $1,500, an online store at $3,500 and a brand identity at $1,200. The exact number depends on the pages and features involved, and every project is quoted in the written scope before work starts. See pricing for what each level includes.
