Congratulations on the launch of your brand-new website! We are thrilled to have partnered with you to create a digital presence that truly reflects your brand and goals. As you embark on this exciting journey, this page will serve as your guide to navigate and maximize your online platform. Here are three aspects that this guide will cover:
Select your website's CMS for helpful resources on managing your site.
We understand the importance of keeping your website secure and safe from malicious threats. That is why we make sure that every website we create is secured with HTTPS encryption. This ensures that any data or information stored on or transferred through your website remains private and protected from malicious attacks. With our secure websites, you can rest assured knowing that your data will remain safe and secure at all times.
We bill hourly for website support after the completion of the initial project. Our hourly rate is $150 per hour with a 1-hour minimum. If we determine that the requested support will be more time-intensive, we will send a project proposal and consider the support request as a standalone project.
Yes! Having a website that is mobile optimized is essential for businesses today, as the majority of internet users access websites from their phones. With mobile optimization, you can ensure that your site looks great and functions properly on all devices while also providing visitors with an easy-to-navigate experience regardless of what device they are using. We only design and develop websites that are mobile friendly and optimized for all common devices.
A domain name is a unique string of text that people can use to access your website in their browser, such as 'sidekick.agency' or 'apple.com'. You can buy a domain name through many different domain registrars. Sidekick recommends buying your domain name through GoDaddy or Squarespace.
Hosting is a term used for storing and running code and other files on a server. A hosting provider is a company that handles the hosting of website code and files, so you do not have to set up your own infrastructure to deploy your website. Sidekick typically uses two different hosting providers, Webflow and Flywheel, depending on the project.
A web builder is a software that offers a user interface for building websites. Sidekick typically uses two different web builders, Webflow and Elementor, depending on the project. Webflow is a company that handles website hosting as well as offers a powerful web builder that compiles down to raw HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Elementor is a Wordpress plugin that allows developers to build robust Wordpress sites built on PHP.
As a part of our hosting services, Sidekick performs regular checks and updates to make sure your site is secure and up-to-date.
If the issue is a direct result of an uncaught bug during development, Sidekick will happily fix it for free. All other bug fixes will be charged according to our hourly web support guidelines.
