All the details, explained
What services do you offer?
We offer website rescue, small-business website design, Shopify refreshes, AI Search Readiness and ongoing website care plans. Most projects are built around improving trust, clarity, mobile experience and enquiry flow.
How do you start working with new clients?
We usually begin with a website review or discovery call. From there, we identify what your website needs most and recommend the best option, whether that is a refresh, rebuild, new website or care plan.
Do you work with all industries?
We work best with small service businesses, home services, wedding and event suppliers, wellness businesses, consultants, family businesses and simple ecommerce brands. The best fit is a business that already has customers but needs a stronger online presence.
What makes South Star Designs different from other agencies?
We do more than make websites look better. We focus on the full trust journey - how people find you, understand you, trust you and contact you. Every project can include search-ready structure, clearer messaging, trust signals, launch support and ongoing care.
How much does a website cost?
Starter websites begin from $590, business websites from $990 and website rescue sprints from $790. Monthly care plans are available from $49/month. Final pricing depends on the size, platform and scope of your project.
Do you offer ongoing website support?
Yes. Our care plans can include hosting support, minor updates, form checks, broken link checks, basic performance checks and priority support options so your website is looked after after launch. Pricing starting at $49/month.
How long does it take to complete a site?
Most projects will be delivered in 2 - 4 weeks. It all depends on the complexity of the site.
Do we use AI to create websites?
We use AI and other tools to support parts of our process where they are helpful, but your website is not simply generated by AI and handed over. The structure, design decisions, messaging, customer journey and final result are shaped by real humans. AI can help speed up parts of the work, but it does not replace the thinking behind a good small business website.
