After the initial year, your subscription goes month‑to‑month. Many of our Charleston‑based clients stay on because they like having ongoing support, but if you prefer to stop, you’re free to do so. However, canceling means you’ll lose access to your website unless you buy it out.
At Park Circle Web Design, we ask for a 12‑month minumum commitment on our monthly website packages. After your initial term, you can continue month‑to‑month or opt for a one‑time buyout if you’d prefer to own your site outright.
Yes, local SEO is a major focus for us. We optimize content and technical aspects of your site to help you rank higher in Charleston and the Lowcountry. Our monthly retainers vary depending on your goals and the competitiveness of your niche.
On average, most sites take two to four weeks to complete. Timelines can vary based on how quickly you provide feedback and content. We work diligently to meet agreed‑upon deadlines.
Yes. We offer a buyout option after 12 months for those who want to fully own their site. The buyout cost is calculated and agreed upon in the contract.
If you need to end your subscription prematurely, we do charge a fee to cover the remaining term. This ensures we can fairly compensate our team for their time and resources, which also helps us continue providing high‑quality service to all our clients.
An SEO maintenance plan is vital for long-term online success. Here’s why:
• Adapting to Algorithm Changes: Search engines regularly update their ranking criteria. Regular maintenance ensures your website stays compliant with the latest best practices, protecting and improving your rankings.
• Technical Health: Routine audits can uncover and fix technical issues—like broken links, slow load times, or mobile responsiveness problems—that might otherwise hurt your SEO performance.
• Competitive Advantage: The digital landscape is constantly evolving. Ongoing optimization helps you stay ahead of competitors who are also updating their sites.
• Sustained Organic Traffic: SEO isn’t a one-time setup. Continuous keyword refinement, content updates, and performance analysis can drive consistent organic traffic.
• Cost Efficiency: Proactive maintenance prevents minor issues from escalating into costly problems, ensuring your investment in SEO delivers long-term returns.
Implementing an SEO maintenance plan means your website remains dynamic, responsive, and aligned with both search engine standards and user expectations.
Absolutely. Your domain is yours to keep. If you ever cancel, you can transfer it to another host. However, the site files remain with Park Circle Web Design unless you’ve opted for a buyout or a lump‑sum package.
We offer monthly upgrade plans that give you access to support, unlimited edits, and SEO maintanence.
During the design phase, you may request a refund if you are not satisfied. After that initial design phase, we don’t typically provide refunds because we’ve already invested significant time and energy into designing and implementing your site.
SEO is a long‑term strategy, especially for competitive local markets like Charleston. Some clients see noticeable changes within a few months, but we usually advise planning for at least six months of consistent effort.
We primarily build custom WordPress sites. We avoid simple drag‑and‑drop solutions like Wix or Squarespace because we prefer to tailor every aspect for optimal performance, security, and scalability—especially important for growing Charleston businesses.
Our lump‑sum packages let you pay once and fully own your site from day one. In contrast, our monthly subscription covers continuous support, hosting, and maintenance for as long as you remain subscribed. Many clients in Charleston and beyond choose subscriptions for the peace of mind and ongoing service.
Park Circle Web Design accepts major credit cards, ACH transfers, and PayPal. We do not currently support checks or money orders.
We handle on‑page optimization, keyword research, local listings, technical site improvements, and content creation. Our team also stays current with Google’s algorithm updates, ensuring your site remains optimized for Charleston‑based searches and beyond.
Custom coding allows us to create streamlined, efficient sites that load quickly and handle unique features without extra bloat. This results in better user experiences and SEO performance, particularly if you’re targeting a local audience in Charleston.
Absolutely. We have a specialized e‑commerce plan for online stores, which includes features like payment gateways, shipping setup, and more. If you need advanced functionality like memberships or booking systems, we can accommodate that as well.
For a lump sum contract, we calculate the fee based on the complexity of the website. Simple 5 page websites will be eligibile for our minimum pricing. On the monthly contract, we offer a $200 (one-time) upgrade for each page after 5",
We avoid making unrealistic promises. SEO depends on multiple variables, like your industry, competition, and keyword difficulty. While we strive for high visibility, we don’t claim overnight success. Consistent, quality work is key.
We have robust backup systems and a team of specialists, ensuring your site remains secure. In the rare event of an emergency, our protocols keep your website online and your data protected. We take pride in our reliability and support.
Yes. We provide periodic updates and performance insights so you can track your website’s growth. These reports may include traffic stats, user engagement, and SEO improvements tailored for Charleston, SC, and the surrounding region.
We allow a short grace period for overdue invoices. If payment is still outstanding after that, your site may be placed on hold until the account is brought current. Feel free to reach out if you have any billing concerns, and we’ll do our best to work with you.
Yes, we offer PPC campaign management alongside our SEO services. This includes Google Ads, social media advertising, and retargeting strategies. If you’re looking for faster visibility in Charleston or nationwide, PPC can be an effective option.
We offer a dedicated support channel via email or ticket system. Once we receive your update requests, we schedule them based on your plan level—subscribers with unlimited edits get priority turnaround times, while others follow a queue system.
