01How much does a website or Shopify store cost?
A marketing site or WooCommerce build starts at $4,500. A complete DTC + B2B Shopify store starts at $6,500. SEO Foundation Setup is $1,500 one-time, and ongoing SEO + AEO runs $1,500/month — no long contracts. Every project gets a fixed quote on a short call. See full pricing →
02How long does a build take?
Most builds launch in 2–4 weeks. Larger e-commerce projects — big catalogs, B2B pricing, platform migrations — get a clear timeline on the first call, and you'll know what's happening at every step.
03Is the quote really fixed?
Yes. The price agreed on the scoping call is the price — if the scope changes mid-project because you want more, that's a conversation, not a surprise invoice.
04What is The Complete Build?
The bundle: SEO Foundation Setup, your website or Shopify store, and 3 months on the SEO + AEO retainer — launched as one project by one team, from $10,500, then $1,500/month to keep growing. Cancel anytime.
05Do you work with brand-new businesses?
Yes. Whether you're launching your first product or scaling an established catalog, the build is tailored to your stage — and pricing starts small enough to start right.
06Which platforms do you build on?
Shopify, Webflow, and WordPress / WooCommerce — or fully custom when the project calls for it. We pick the platform that fits your business, not the one that’s easiest to sell. Deep dives: Shopify services · Webflow services.
07Shopify, Webflow, or WordPress — which is right for me?
Selling products, especially with wholesale or subscriptions: Shopify. A fast marketing site your team edits without a developer: Webflow. Content-heavy sites and some commerce setups: WordPress/WooCommerce. The honest comparison happens on the first call — we build on all three. Read the comparison →
08Can you migrate my existing site or store?
Yes — migrations between platforms (WooCommerce to Shopify, WordPress to Webflow, and others) with products, content, customers, and URL redirects moved cleanly so rankings and revenue carry over.
09Can one store sell retail and wholesale at the same time?
Yes — one Shopify storefront can serve retail buyers at full price and signed-in wholesale buyers at their own tier pricing using SparkLayer, with self-serve B2B ordering. Multiline Online runs exactly this model live. Read the SparkLayer guide →
10What is AEO — and do I actually need it?
Answer Engine Optimization structures your content so AI tools — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews — cite your business when they answer your customers’ questions. Search is moving there fast; if you sell locally or online, it’s where your next customers come from. See the AI Websites page →
11How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO earns a position on a results page; AEO earns a citation inside an AI-generated answer. They share foundations and compound together — we run both in one program.
12What's included in the SEO + AEO retainer?
4–8 optimized pages per month, Google Business Profile management, AI-search (AEO) citation work, technical fixes and internal linking, and a monthly report with a strategy call — $1,500/month, month-to-month.
13How fast do SEO and AEO show results?
Early AI citations can appear within weeks of publishing well-structured answers; traditional rankings build over months and compound. The monthly report shows both moving — real numbers from our client dashboards are on the proof section.
14What does founder-led actually mean?
The person who scopes your project is the person who builds it — no account managers, no handoff to a junior team, no telephone game. Webaes is a lean Denver studio with a networked team that scales with the work. Why that beats an agency →
15What happens after launch?
A clean handoff with training — no locked black box. Ongoing Support starts at $500/month and SEO + AEO at $1,500/month, both month-to-month. We'd rather earn the next project than trap you in this one.
16Does Webaes make video ads?
Yes — Webaes Motion, our motion division, is launching soon: short-form video ads for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and Meta, made from your product photos. Monthly plans from $397, no shoots needed.
