Frequently asked questions about hiring a web designer

Daaistudio has three prices: ฿15,900 for a single-page site, ฿28,900 for a 5-page business site, and ฿42,900 for a 10-page site with full SEO. It is a one-time payment, not annual.

Every price includes a fully custom design, the SEO structure, and training on the admin. Domain, hosting and Elementor Pro are billed separately as a ฿3,500 yearly system fee. What changes between packages is page count and warranty length, not the quality of the design work.

Projects needing extra functionality are quoted per job. If you are not sure how many pages your business needs, ask for the free plan first.

Not in the package price. They are billed separately as a ฿3,500 yearly system fee covering the domain name, hosting with SSL and the Elementor Pro licence, charged every year including the first.

You pay it in one place through us and we handle registration and renewal, so you never have to sign up for accounts or track expiry dates.

If you already have a domain or hosting you can keep using them. And the domain is registered in your business name from day one, not ours.

The only cost you will definitely pay is the ฿3,500 yearly system fee covering domain, hosting and the Elementor Pro licence, charged every year including the first.

Beyond that you only pay for things you actually use: extra functionality such as a shopping cart or booking system, extra pages beyond the package at ฿2,000 each, or banner graphics at ฿600 each. Most projects need none of it.

If yours does, we tell you in the written plan before you pay the first instalment, not afterwards.

Two instalments. Fifty percent to start the work, fifty percent when you approve the design.

That means you see the real design and revise it until you are happy before the second instalment falls due — if you are not happy with the design, you do not pay it.

Before any of that we send you a written plan for free, with nothing to pay.

Pages beyond the package are ฿2,000 each, the same price whether you add them during the build or years later, because the site runs on WordPress and adding a page does not mean rebuilding anything.

If the new page reuses the existing design you can often build it yourself after the training session, without hiring us. What is worth paying for is a page that needs genuine new design work, or one that needs its own SEO structure.

About 2 weeks for a single-page site, 3–4 weeks for a 5-page site, and 5–6 weeks for a 10-page site.

The clock starts when your content and images are complete, not when you pay. The single biggest cause of delay is material arriving late from the client side, not the build itself.

We send you a checklist on day one so you know exactly what to prepare.

Three things, mainly: your business details and a description of your products or services, images that are actually usable, and the contact channels you want customers to use such as LINE, phone or a map to your shop.

If you have no logo or no defined brand direction you can still start and we set the direction for you. If you have no usable photos we tell you up front what is worth shooting.

You do not need polished copy either. Send the raw information and we write it up.

During the design phase, unlimited, until you are happy, because nothing has been built yet and changes cost nothing at that stage.

After you approve the design you can still revise details such as text, images and placement up to about 30 percent of the scope. A complete redesign after approval is quoted separately.

The point of the arrangement is to get the thinking done during design, when revising wastes nobody's time.

Yes, at no cost. We analyse your business, the competitors ranking on Google page one, and your existing site if you have one, then send you a full written plan within 3–5 days.

The plan is yours. You can take it to another studio if you want, with no obligation. If reading it makes you conclude that now is not the right time to build a website, that is a legitimate outcome too.

Most businesses land on 5 pages: home, about, services, work and contact. That is enough for customers to take you seriously and enough for Google to understand what you do.

If your business has several distinct services that people search for with different words, give each service its own page, because one page can only rank well for one core set of search terms. Cramming everything onto a single page makes every term harder to compete for.

If you are just starting out, one page now and extra pages later at ฿2,000 each is the cheaper route.

Not immediately. Building a website creates something Google can rank; it does not buy a ranking.

We put the full SEO structure in place from day one, submit the site to Google for indexing, install Search Console, and target search terms people genuinely use and that you can realistically compete for.

After that, rankings depend on how competitive those terms are and whether content keeps being added. A site that is finished and then left alone usually does not move.

This is very common and it is usually not a design problem. The usual causes are that the site has no page matching what people actually search for, that it consists of a home page and a contact page with no content answering customer questions, or that it was never submitted to Google at all.

Start in Google Search Console: check whether the site is indexed and which terms are already showing your pages. Then add pages or articles that match those terms.

If your current site looks like this we will check it for free as part of the written plan.

Yes, and several parts are better done yourself than paid for, because you know your customers and the words they use better than any outsider.

Writing articles that answer the questions customers keep asking, keeping information current, and maintaining your Google Maps listing are all things you can do directly.

The harder parts are site structure, schema data, speed, and mapping search terms across the site so pages do not compete with each other. Those are done once during the build and then last, and they are included in every package.

SEO is about ranking in the search results page. GEO is about getting AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini to use your content in their answers and cite you as the source.

The difference is behaviour. Someone using Google sees a list of links and chooses one. Someone asking an AI gets an answer directly, and if your site is not cited in that answer you effectively do not exist in it.

What makes content citable is answering questions directly, in the language people actually use, with clear numbers and facts, plus schema data machines can read. A FAQ page like this one is an example of GEO work.

No, and nobody can, because nobody controls Google's algorithm except Google. Treat anyone who guarantees you a number one ranking with suspicion.

What can genuinely be guaranteed is the work that is in our hands: a complete SEO structure, site speed, schema data, submitting the site to Google, and choosing search terms your business can realistically compete for.

All of it. Every site is built on WordPress with Elementor, so you can change text, swap images and publish articles without writing code.

On handover day we run a training session and give you a written manual you can go back to, and you get full 100% admin rights. Nothing is locked to force you back to us. If one day you want someone else to look after the site, you can hand it straight over.

If you manage the content yourself, the only unavoidable cost is the ฿3,500 yearly system fee.

If you would rather we kept looking after it, there are two options: system maintenance only at ฿3,000–6,000 per month covering updates, backups and security, or maintenance plus SEO and GEO growth at ฿9,500–22,000 per month, which includes writing articles and tracking rankings.

There is no long-term lock-in and you can stop at any point with 30 days notice.

The warranty runs by package: 180 days for a single-page site, 1 year for a 5-page site, and 18 months for a 10-page site.

It covers bugs and faults caused by work we did, such as a contact form that stops sending, a page breaking on certain devices, or a problem appearing after a system update.

It does not cover adding new pages, changing the design, or adding functionality outside the original scope. Those are new work and are quoted separately.

The site remains yours and keeps working normally as long as the domain and hosting stay renewed. We hold nothing hostage.

What you should know is that WordPress, themes and plugins release updates continuously, and leaving them un-updated for a long time creates security risk and can eventually break parts of the site.

That work is not difficult to do yourself. We teach it on handover day at no extra charge. Care plans exist for people who would rather not do it themselves, not as a requirement.

Ask four questions before paying anything. One, whose name are the domain and hosting registered in? It should be yours. Two, do you get full admin rights when the job is finished? If you cannot log into the back end, you are locked in.

Three, is this price final, and what else will you be billed for? Get it in writing. Four, if you stop working with them, can you move the site elsewhere?

The clearest warning sign is a guaranteed number one ranking on Google. Others are an unusually low price with costs added later, and pressure to transfer money before the scope is written down.

It depends what you need it for. Wix is quick to start on your own and needs no system maintenance, which suits small sites that are not relying on Google and owners who want to do everything themselves. Its limits are restricted control over site structure, difficulty moving elsewhere, and a monthly cost that never ends.

WordPress is far more flexible, lets you tune every part of the SEO, can be moved to any host, and the files are genuinely yours — in exchange for having to update the system yourself or pay someone to.

If you seriously intend to find customers through Google, WordPress fits better. If you just want a page for people to look at, Wix is enough.

The difference is ownership and the ceiling on what you can do. A website builder is a rental. You pay annually, and the moment you stop paying the site is gone. You can adjust the SEO structure only as far as the platform allows, and the design is often shared with everyone else using the same theme.

With WordPress you pay once for the build, the files and database are yours, you can change hosts, redesign completely, and tune every part of the SEO.

If the budget genuinely is not there yet, a builder is a workable starting point — as long as you go in knowing you are renting and will have nothing of your own at the end.
