Questions
Questions people ask before they start.
What people ask before they hire me. Don’t see yours? Call or text.
Getting a website
How much does a small business website cost in Columbus, Indiana?
Website packages start at $3,000. Your price depends on your pages, your photos and who writes the words. It’s on your invoice before I start.
How much does a website cost per month?
The build is a one time price. After that, run it yourself for less, or have me run it. Pay by the year, every 6 months, or however works for you.
How long does it take to build a website for a small business?
You get a private link to the whole site within a week of having your form, photos, wording and any logo. Then one round of changes. It goes live once paid in full.
What if my photos or my truck aren’t ready?
Launch anyway. I put something together for now, and either of us can swap it out later. It takes a minute.
Do I need a website for my small business?
If people look you up before they call, yes. A Facebook page is a start, but you don’t control it.
Do you redesign websites I already have?
Yes. I custom code a new one, and your web address stays the same.
Hiring me
Who builds websites near me?
I do, around Columbus, Greenwood, Greensburg and Bloomington, Indiana. I’m Grant Emerick. Websites, business videos and wedding films. One guy. Areas I serve.
Do you use AI to run my website?
No. Your site doesn’t run on AI, and you talk to me, not a chatbot. I use AI as a tool when it helps, the same as any other tool.
How fast do you reply?
By the end of the next working day.
Can I see work you’ve done?
Yes. Ask, and I’ll send you sites and videos I’ve made.
Owning your website
Do I own my website?
Yes, once it’s paid in full. You get the whole folder, and anybody can take it over. Your domain, email, Google and Facebook accounts stay in your name.
Can I update my own website?
Yes. Run it yourself with a simple login and change your words and photos from your phone. That costs less. Or text me a small change and I do it.
Do I need extra subscriptions or logins?
No. One login, no extra apps. Extras like email tools get a price first.
Is Wix good for a small business?
It’s fine for a quick start, but you’re renting. A Wix site can’t move to another host. I custom code yours, so you own files anybody can take over.
Showing up on Google
Why is my business not showing up on Google?
Usually it’s no Google Business Profile, or a site Google can’t read. I build your site so it can. I can’t promise rankings, and nobody honestly can.
How do I get my business on Google Maps?
With a Google Business Profile. I can help with that too. Google decides when to verify it.
Content
How much does social media content cost for a small business?
Content packages start at $1,500 for your first month. After that, $500 a month gets you another month of short videos and photos.
How often should a small business post on social media?
Often enough that nobody wonders if you’re still open. A month of content gives you enough to post.
Do I own the videos you make for my business?
You can use your videos and photos for your business. I keep the copyright, and the music is licensed.
Wedding films
How long should a wedding video be?
About two minutes for a highlight film. Short enough that you’ll watch it again and share it.
How much does a wedding videographer cost?
Wedding films start at $2,500. Your price depends on your date, the distance and how much of the day you want filmed. It’s on your invoice before I start.
When do we get our wedding film?
On the date on your invoice, so you know before you book.
Are you a wedding videographer in Bloomington, Indiana?
Yes. A film day with one person, not a crew.
