Before you hire anyone
Six questions to ask any web designer.
Including me. Here’s why each one matters, and my answer.
Can I see my site before I pay?
Why it matters
A portfolio shows someone else’s business. A mockup of yours shows whether they understood you.
My answer
Yes. You get a real mockup of your homepage before you sign anything. If you don’t love it, walk away.
Is the price fixed, and in writing?
Why it matters
An hourly estimate can grow after you’ve committed. A fixed fee can’t.
My answer
Yes. Every line item and the total are signed before work starts. Packages start at $1,499, and the prices are published.
Will I own the code, the domain and the hosting?
Why it matters
If a designer or a website builder owns any of the three, leaving means starting over.
My answer
Yes, all three are in your name at launch. The code moves to a Git repository you own.
How fast does it load on a phone?
Why it matters
Your customers will likely find you on a phone, often on a weak signal, and a slow page loses them before it loads.
My answer
Run this site, and any designer’s, through Google’s free PageSpeed Insights. My lab results for this site are on the colophon page, with the date and the settings.
What do you do so people can find it?
Why it matters
“SEO included” can mean anything. Ask what, exactly.
My answer
Every package includes local SEO: a clear title and description on every page, your business details in structured data that search engines and AI assistants read, a sitemap, and pages written the way people here search.
Who answers when it breaks?
Why it matters
At an agency you may get a ticket queue; with a website builder, a help center.
My answer
I do. Call (860) 510-8692, or use the website-emergency line, which pages my phone.
Service area
Towns I serve in person.
I’m based in Old Saybrook. In these towns I’ll meet you at your business; anywhere else, the project runs by phone and online.

Shoreline businesses
What your site needs to do.
Shoreline towns run on two seasons, and the site has to work for summer visitors and year-round customers alike.
Restaurants and cafés
A menu people can read on a phone, as real text rather than a PDF, with today’s hours, reservations or ordering, and a map. Seasonal hours change in one place and update everywhere.
Marinas, charters and marine services
Rates, seasons, slips or trips, and the forms that go with them, laid out so a boater can check them from the dock. Summer visitors and year-round customers search differently, and the site answers both.
Contractors and trades
What you do, the towns you cover, photos of real jobs, and a quote request that works on the first try. Service pages that match what people type, such as “roofer in Clinton.”
Shops, galleries and wellness practices
Hours, what’s in store or on the schedule, online booking or a small store, and a site you can update yourself when things change.

Who is the best web designer in Old Saybrook?
The one whose work, price and process you can check before you pay. Ask every designer you talk to the six questions on this page. Old Saybrook IT Solutions publishes its prices, puts the fee in writing, shows you a real mockup of your homepage before you sign, and hands you the code, domain and hosting at launch.
How long does it take to build a website?
Typically 2–3 weeks for an Essentials site, 4–6 weeks for Professional, and 8+ weeks for Custom projects such as online stores and web apps. The timeline is in your proposal before you sign.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. Bring your current site to the free 30-minute call, and you’ll see a real mockup of your new homepage before you commit to anything.
How do I get my business to show up on Google in Old Saybrook?
Three things do most of the work: a Google Business Profile with the right category and your real service area, reviews from real customers, and a fast website that says plainly what you do and where. Every site I build covers the third: a clear title and description on every page, your business details in structured data, a sitemap, and pages that load quickly on a phone. The first two are free, and they should be in your own name.
Do you meet in person?
Yes, if your business is in Old Saybrook, Westbrook, Essex, Old Lyme, Deep River, Lyme, Clinton, Chester, Killingworth, East Lyme or Madison, or nearby on the Connecticut shoreline. Anywhere else, the free call is by phone and the project runs remotely.
