[03] FAQ

FAQ

A few practical details about working together, from scope and feedback to SEO and handoff.

What happens first in a QART project?

We start with discovery: your goals, audience, context, constraints, and the decisions the project needs to support. From there, we agree on direction and scope before design begins.

Do I need an existing brand before commissioning a website?

No. QART can develop a visual identity as part of the engagement or design a website around an existing identity. The appropriate sequence depends on what is already established.

How long does website design and development take?

QART's documented planning range for a website project is approximately 4 to 8 weeks, depending on scope. Content readiness, integrations, and feedback can affect the final schedule. A project-specific timeline is agreed during planning.

What do I receive after discovery?

Discovery establishes project goals, audience priorities, and a creative direction. Depending on scope, we document positioning and references for identity work or a sitemap, user flows, and content priorities for a website.

How is feedback handled?

Concepts are presented with their rationale, followed by structured review and revisions. The number of included revision rounds depends on the agreed service package or proposal.

Which platforms does QART use for websites?

Framer is used for design and development. Shopify can be used where e-commerce is required. Platform selection depends on the site's content, editing, and commerce needs.

What SEO work is included in a website build?

Foundational setup covers page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, responsive layouts, image alt text, and readable URL slugs. Search performance and ongoing content growth are separate, continuing efforts.

Can brand identity and the website be developed together?

Yes. When both are in scope, the identity direction informs the website’s typography, color, components, and content presentation. Deliverables and revision rounds are agreed in the proposal.

What happens after the website launches?

Handoff can include admin access, a walkthrough, and documentation, as agreed for the project. Ongoing updates, technical support, and SEO reviews are available as optional support services.
