The offer is unclear.
The proof is buried.

FAQ
Honest answers, plainly put.
How do I know whether I need a single-page or CMS-based site?
If you have one focused offer, service, or campaign, a single-page site is usually enough. If you have multiple services, locations, or content that will grow, a CMS gives you room to expand. We’ll confirm the right route in a short fit review.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. When your package includes a CMS, we build reusable editing patterns and show your team how to manage the content you need to change.
Does Kelp write the content?
Every package includes content guidance and a clear page structure. Full copywriting can be included when you need finished website copy.
Will my site work on phones and tablets?
Yes. Every Kelp website is designed and tested for current desktop, tablet, and mobile screen sizes.
Is SEO included?
Foundational on-page SEO is included: page titles, descriptions, heading structure, indexability, performance-conscious development, and analytics. Ongoing SEO can be scoped separately.
What happens if I need something custom?
We’ll create a tailored scope for multiple pages, ecommerce, booking, integrations, expanded branding, photography, or other requirements.
What happens after launch?
We verify the live website, forms, and tracking. Hosting, maintenance, content, and growth retainers are available when you want ongoing help.
