FAQs

Do I need to provide my own design files?
Yes, this service is tailored for clients who already have Figma (or similar) designs. If you need a custom design from scratch, we can discuss a separate arrangement.
What if I don’t have a design? Do you provide design services?
Yes, I offer a separate design service for clients who don’t have existing layouts in Figma or similar tools. This is an additional service that involves creating a custom design from scratch, and it require extra time and cost. If you’re interested, let’s discuss the details and pricing before starting the development process.
How many pages can you develop?
I can code up to 10 pages based on your design files. If you have more pages or special requirements, feel free to let me know so we can plan accordingly.
How does SEO and speed optimization work?
I optimize your theme by refining code, minimizing assets, and adding essential SEO tags. This ensures faster load times and better visibility in search results.
Will the theme be responsive and include a Dark Mode option?
Absolutely. Each theme is built with mobile-first practices to ensure it looks great on any device, and I can integrate Dark Mode upon request.
How long does the entire process take?
Timelines vary based on project complexity. Generally, most themes are delivered within a 1-2 weeks, but we’ll discuss a concrete schedule before starting.
What about post-launch support?
You receive six months of free support after delivery. This covers minor tweaks, bug fixes, and updates to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Can I request additional custom features?
Definitely. If you have specific functionalities in mind, let me know, and I’ll integrate them using the appropriate technologies (e.g., Alpine.js, custom scripts, etc.).
Do I need to handle hosting or domain setup on my own?
Ghost can be self-hosted or hosted on a range of platforms. While I don’t directly offer hosting services, I’m happy to guide you through your options and ensure a seamless launch.
