What actually makes a website generate leads instead of just sitting there?
A lead-generating website does three things well: it loads fast, it speaks directly to the person you’re trying to reach, and it makes the next step obvious. Most sites fail on all three. They’re built to impress the owner, not to convert the visitor. Every site we build starts with a question — what do we need this visitor to do, and what’s getting in the way of them doing it?
How long does it take to build a new website?
Most projects are complete in 3 to 6 weeks depending on scope. The timeline is usually determined by how quickly we can lock in your content and complete the review round — not by how fast we can build. We set a clear scope on the strategy call so you know what to expect from day one.
Do I work directly with Andrew or get handed off to someone else?
You work directly with Andrew from the strategy call through launch and beyond. There’s no project manager relaying messages, no junior developer interpreting your feedback. The person you talk to is the person building your site. That’s not common in this industry — and it’s one of the reasons our clients stay.
What platform do you build on and why WordPress?
We build on WordPress because it gives you full ownership of your site — no proprietary platform locking you in, no monthly fees just to keep the lights on. It’s flexible, well-supported, and built to scale. And because we build with clean custom code instead of page builders, your site loads fast and stays manageable long after launch.
Will my website actually show up on Google?
SEO structure is built into every site from the start — not added as an afterthought. That means clean code, proper heading hierarchy, metadata, schema markup, and a site architecture Google can crawl efficiently. We also set up Google Analytics and Search Console so you can see exactly what’s working. If you want to go deeper on rankings, our SEO services build on top of the foundation we lay at launch.
Do I need ongoing maintenance after the site goes live?
Yes — and anyone who tells you otherwise is setting you up for problems. WordPress core, themes, and plugins need regular updates to stay secure and functional. Without maintenance, sites get hacked, slow down, and break in ways that cost more to fix than a monthly plan ever would. Our WordPress maintenance plans handle all of that so you’re never caught off guard.
What if I already have a website that isn’t working?
That’s actually the most common situation we walk into. We audit what you have, identify exactly what’s holding it back — whether that’s speed, structure, messaging, or all three — and rebuild it the right way. You keep your domain and your SEO history. We handle the migration and make sure nothing gets lost in the process. See our website redesign services for more on how that works.
How much does web design cost?
Most projects start at $2,000 and scale based on features, number of pages, and whether content writing is included. We don’t publish fixed packages because every service business has different needs — a painter’s site is a different project than a multi-location HVAC company. Book a free strategy call and you’ll get a clear quote with no ambiguity and no surprises.
Can I update the website myself after it’s built?
Yes. We build the admin area so that editing text, swapping images, and publishing blog posts doesn’t require a developer. If you ever get stuck, you have direct access to Andrew — not a support ticket queue.
How is Good Fellas different from the agencies I’ve already tried?
Most agencies sell you a deliverable — a website — and move on. We’re focused on the outcome: leads, booked jobs, revenue. That means the strategy comes first, the build reflects that strategy, and the relationship doesn’t end at launch. You also work directly with Andrew throughout, which means no miscommunication, no hand-offs, and no wondering who actually knows your account. If you’ve been burned before, that difference is the whole point.
