Website Design That Works
Most websites don’t work. They sit there, look nice, and do nothing to grow the business.
At Luminagency, we build sites that pull their weight — sites that bring in calls, build trust, and help you make more money. Whether we’re fixing what’s broken, adding what’s missing, or giving you a clear path forward, the goal is always the same: real results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why should I pay for a website when I already have Facebook?
A1: A Facebook page is rented space. You don’t own it, and it doesn’t show up well on Google. A website is your permanent online home. It ranks on Google, builds credibility, and gives you full control.
Q2: Isn’t a few hundred dollars still too much for my small business?
A2: Compare it to one new client. For cleaners, pet sitters, or landscapers, a single job often covers the setup fee. After that, the site keeps paying for itself every month.
Q3: Why is there a monthly fee?
A3: That fee covers hosting, security, backups, and unlimited updates. Plus, we are your technology team. Instead of worrying about tech, you just send a quick message and your site is updated for you.
Q4: Can’t I just build one myself for free?
A4: DIY site builders (Wix, Shopify, et al.) can look cheap, take hours to set up, and still require you to do all the work. Most end up abandoned. For less than $3/day, you get a professional website - within a week - that’s done right the first time and actually brings in clients.
Q5: What if my business is really small—do I even need a site?
A5: If people Google your service and don’t find you, they’ll call your competitor. Even the smallest local business benefits from looking trustworthy online. A website helps make you “the obvious choice.” Besides, there's only so much you can show on a Facebook page, especially if you have picures of your work. An no, they aren't going to scroll forever to find that cool thing you did 2 years aggo.
Q6: What if I stop paying the monthly?
A6: Just like rent or utilities, the monthly fee keeps your website running. Stop paying, and the site goes offline. But it’s the lowest-risk investment you’ll ever make in your business.
Also, if things are tight, we will work with you -- just let us know.
And, if you ever decide to work with another company, we will work with them to transfer your site, registration and other connections.
Q7: How soon can my new website be ready>
A7: Most sites launch in 10–14 days. You provide your business name, services, and contact info—we handle everything else. We can often deliver in days if you need it faster.
Q8: How do I know this will actually bring me new clients?
A8: Customers trust websites more than social pages. Plus, your site will be optimized for Google search, which is where 9 out of 10 local customers start their search.
And remember, we are a marketing company first. Your website is the hub for everything else. If you aren't getting traffic, conversions or leads, we will help you get that under control... just ask us.
