Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before working with me. If your question isn't here, send it in writing — I reply within one business day.

Pricing & Timeline

How much does a custom Next.js website cost?
A base site (landing page + contact form) starts at €3,000. Add-ons — authentication, booking, e-commerce, SEO, animations — stack on top at fixed prices. Most founder-led sites land between €3,000 and €8,000. The full modular pricing table is at /start.
How long does a build take?
Most sites are live within 5–7 business days of receiving your completed brief. Complex builds with e-commerce or SaaS features take 2–4 weeks. Timeline is fixed at the quote stage.
Do I need to buy a domain name separately?
Yes — domain registration (typically €12–€20/year) is not included in the build price. I'll point you to a registrar after checkout if you don't already have one.
What does the monthly care plan include?
Two care plans — Foundation (€350/mo) and Nerd Preferred (€650/mo) — cover hosting, security patches, backups, uptime monitoring, and fixes. See /care-plan for the full feature split. Edit requests are handled within one business day. There's no minimum term — cancel any time.
Can I add features after the site launches?
Yes. Any add-on — booking system, e-commerce, authentication, SaaS features — can be scoped and quoted as a separate project once your base site is live.

Process & Communication

What do I need to provide to get started?
After checkout you fill in a short written brief — your business name, what you do, your location, and a few style preferences. I write the copy for you. No kickoff call required.
Do I need to provide the copy for my website?
No. Copywriting is included when you add it as an option. After checkout I send a brief form with questions about your business, audience, and goals. That's all I need to write the page.
What if I don't like the design?
Every build includes two rounds of revisions. You leave written feedback — I adjust until you're satisfied. No live calls needed.
Do you work with clients outside Ireland?
Yes — fully remote and async. I work with clients in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and across Europe. Time zone differences haven't been an issue because everything is written, not live.
What happens to my site if I cancel the care plan?
You own the site outright. I hand over the full source code, hosting access, domain credentials, database export, and any third-party logins. No exit fees, no data held back.

Technology & SEO

What technology stack do you use?
Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Prisma, and PostgreSQL (Neon). No WordPress, no Webflow, no page builders. Every site is custom-coded from scratch.
Do you build WordPress sites?
No. I build on Next.js exclusively. It's faster, more secure, and more maintainable than WordPress for the kind of custom, dynamic sites founders actually need.
What's the difference between SEO and AEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) targets traditional Google rankings. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) targets AI-assisted search tools — Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT. Both rely on fast sites and well-structured content; I build both in from day one.
Is SEO included in a standard website build?
A technical baseline is included in every build: structured data, sitemap, canonical URLs, metadata, and Core Web Vitals optimisation. A full SEO strategy — keyword research, content planning, ongoing monitoring — is a separate add-on from €1,500.
Will my site pass Core Web Vitals?
Yes. Next.js on Vercel scores 90+ on Lighthouse mobile by default. I tune every build for LCP, CLS, and INP before handing over.

Care Plan & Support

How is the care plan different from just buying hosting?
Hosting is a server. The care plan is a person — one who knows your code, patches it when vulnerabilities appear, fixes it when it breaks, and makes the edits you ask for. Vercel doesn't know your codebase. I do.
How quickly do you respond to support requests?
Edit requests: within one business day. Emergency fixes (site down, payment broken): within a few hours during European working hours (UTC+0/+1). All responses are written — no calls.
Do I need a Nerd Prescribed-built site to take the care plan?
Yes. The care plan is for sites I built — that's what makes it possible to guarantee I know the code, the stack, and the hosting setup. I don't take on maintenance for sites built elsewhere.
