How much does a website cost?

Our websites start at ₱3,000 for a single-page business site and go up depending on complexity. E-commerce sites start at ₱7,000, and custom business systems start at ₱8,000. We always provide a clear quote before starting any work — no surprises.

How long does it take to build a website?

A simple business website typically takes 5–7 working days. More complex projects like e-commerce sites or custom systems take 2–4 weeks. We provide a timeline estimate during your free consultation.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes! All our plans include post-launch support (30–60 days depending on the plan). After that, we offer affordable monthly maintenance packages or you can reach out anytime for one-time fixes and updates.

What is a Data Protection Officer (DPO) service?

As a certified DPO, we help your business comply with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and international data protection standards. This includes creating privacy policies, conducting data audits, handling compliance documentation, and serving as your outsourced DPO.

Do I need to be in the Philippines to work with you?

Not at all! We work with clients worldwide. Everything is handled online — consultations, project updates, file sharing, and support. We use our client portal so you can track progress from anywhere.

Can I see my project progress while it's being built?

Absolutely. Every client gets access to our Client Portal where you can view project status, track tasks, see invoices, and sign agreements. You'll always know exactly where your project stands.

What technologies do you use?

We primarily build with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for websites and web applications. For databases, we use Supabase (PostgreSQL). All our solutions are modern, fast, and mobile-responsive.

Is the free consultation really free?

Yes, completely free with no obligation. We'll discuss your needs, recommend solutions, and give you a clear quote. You decide if you want to proceed — no pressure, no hidden fees.

Do you accept international payments?

We're currently setting up international payment options including Stripe and PayPal. For now, we can arrange payment via bank transfer. Contact us and we'll work out the best option for you.

What if I need changes after the project is delivered?

Minor revisions are included during and after the build phase. For larger changes or new features after launch, we provide a quote based on the scope of work. Our clients often come back for ongoing improvements as their business grows.

Website Speed: Why Yours Is Slow in 2026 (and 5 Fixes That Actually Work)

If your website takes longer than 3 seconds to load on a 4G mobile connection, you lose roughly half your visitors before they see anything. Google penalizes slow sites in search rankings. And Filipino customers — who increasingly browse on patchy mobile data — judge you by the speed of the first paint.

Most "your website is slow" articles are written for developers and tell you to "minify CSS" and "tree-shake your bundle." This one is written for business owners. Here are the 5 actual causes of slow PH small business websites in 2026, and the practical fix for each.

Cause 1 — Massive Unoptimized Images

This is the #1 cause of slow websites in the Philippines. A 4 MB photo straight from your phone takes 3+ seconds to load on 4G. Multiply by 10 photos on the homepage and you have a 30-second site.

Fix: Compress every image before uploading. Use TinyPNG.com or Squoosh.app — drag, drop, download the compressed version. A typical 4 MB photo becomes 250 KB with no visible quality loss. Even better: convert to WebP format, which is 30% smaller again.

Cause 2 — Too Many Third-Party Scripts

Every Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, chat widget, popup, and tracking script adds a network request and slows your page. A site we audited recently had 14 third-party scripts and a 9-second load time. Half the scripts were leftovers from old marketing campaigns nobody removed.

Fix: Audit every script on your site. Remove anything you no longer actively use. Keep only what you actively read reports from.

Cause 3 — Slow Hosting

A shared ₱150-per-month hosting plan packs hundreds of sites onto one server. When one site gets a traffic spike, every other site on that server slows down. We have seen WordPress sites on cheap PH shared hosts take 5+ seconds just to start sending HTML.

Fix: Upgrade to a proper VPS (₱1,000 to ₱3,000 per month) OR use modern free hosting like Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare Pages (free for most small business traffic levels). The difference is dramatic.

Cause 4 — WordPress Plugin Bloat

If your site is WordPress, every plugin you install adds CSS, JavaScript, and database queries. Many "free" themes also load every plugin's assets on every page even when not needed.

Fix: Deactivate every plugin you are not actively using. Test if anything broke. Delete the inactive ones. The fewer plugins, the faster the site.

Cause 5 — No Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A CDN caches your website on servers around the world so visitors load it from the closest one. Without a CDN, every visitor from Cebu, Davao, or Manila hits your origin server in the US or wherever it lives — slow.

Fix: Cloudflare's free plan is one of the best free tools any small business website can use. Sign up, point your domain at it, and your site is suddenly served from Cloudflare's edge network globally.

How to Test Your Speed in 60 Seconds

Open PageSpeed Insights and paste your URL. Pay attention to the Mobile tab, not Desktop — that is what Google actually scores. Look at the "Largest Contentful Paint" (LCP) number:

Under 2.5 seconds: fast
2.5 to 4 seconds: needs work
Over 4 seconds: losing visitors

Frequently Asked Questions

How much speed lift will I get from these fixes?

Image compression alone often cuts load time in half. Add a CDN and you can cut it again. A typical "before 8 seconds, after 2 seconds" transformation is realistic with these 5 fixes.

Will I need a developer?

For image compression and Cloudflare — no, you can do it yourself. For plugin cleanup and hosting changes — you may need a few hours of paid help, but it pays back forever.

Does speed really affect Google rankings?

Yes. Core Web Vitals — Google's speed metrics — have been a confirmed ranking factor since 2021.
