FAQs for Silver Knight Solutions
Your Questions Answered
We know choosing the right partner for your website project is a big decision. Here are answers to the most common questions we receive from prospective clients.
💲 Cost & Value
How much will my website cost?
Our single-page websites start at $1,900, perfect for businesses that need a professional online presence or landing page without multiple sections.
Most of our clients choose a multi-page website, which typically ranges from $2,200–$7,500, depending on size, features, and complexity.
Advanced or fully custom websites may cost more than $10,000. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and create a clear, personalized estimate that fits your needs and budget.
💡 Investing in your website means investing in your business — a professionally built site not only looks great but helps attract customers, generate leads, and support long-term growth.
Why does a professional website cost more than a DIY site?
DIY website builders can be helpful for simple personal projects, but most businesses quickly outgrow them. A professional website is customized to reflect your brand, optimized for search engines, designed with user experience in mind, and supported for stability and security. In other words, it’s built to grow your business, not just exist online. While a DIY site might seem cheaper upfront, a professional website saves you time, avoids limitations, and delivers far better results in the long run.
What’s included in a base website?
Our base websites are built on a professional template customized for your brand, featuring refinements to color, imagery, typography, and layout. Every site includes mobile responsiveness, essential SEO setup, and foundational security, as well as setup with our hosting partner for stability and optimal performance. From there, you can add features such as e-commerce, scheduling, email marketing integration, monthly SEO, and other custom functionalities. Ongoing maintenance and support are available as an additional service.
🛠 Build Process
Is this a fully custom website or template-based?
We use a template-first approach to deliver excellent results at an affordable price. For single-page and smaller websites, we tailor design elements such as colors, fonts, and imagery to match your brand.
For medium and large websites, we offer deeper customization — adjusting layouts, adding advanced features, and refining the user experience to create a website that feels uniquely yours.
This approach ensures you get the right balance of professional design, flexibility, and value for your project size and budget.
How long does it take to build a website?
Project timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of your website.
- Single-page websites are typically completed in 2–3 weeks once your content and images are ready.
- Standard multi-page websites usually take about 4–8 weeks, depending on scope.
- Larger or more complex projects (such as e-commerce or advanced custom builds) may take several months.
⏳ All timelines are estimates and begin once your project enters our design queue and we’ve received your final text, images, and other materials.
Do you provide hosting, domain setup, and email?
🔧 Editing & Maintenance
Can I edit the site myself?
For our basic websites, we don’t include training. We recommend that you let us handle updates to keep your site secure and error-free. For higher-end websites, we can include training as part of the project, allowing you or your team to manage routine content updates safely. This training is priced separately and added to your project cost.
What happens if something goes wrong after an edit?
Every site we launch, when using our hosting plan, includes 30 days of backups. If something goes wrong after a change, contact us and we’ll help restore your site. Our maintenance plans include proactive updates, monitoring, and priority support to prevent issues before they happen. Longer-term backups are available at an additional fee.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
🌎 Client Fit
Do you only work with local businesses?
Not at all. While we’re proudly based in South Central Pennsylvania, we work with clients across the U.S. and internationally — including businesses in Canada and Australia. Thanks to online meetings, email, and phone, we make the process seamless, regardless of your location.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We primarily serve small businesses, entrepreneurs, tradespeople, and nonprofits. These business types include service providers — such as contractors, landscapers, and junk haulers — and other trade professionals, as well as professional services, creative businesses, and community organizations. Regardless of your field, our goal is to create a website that builds trust, attracts customers, and supports your business growth. We often partner with businesses in York, Lancaster, and Harrisburg, PA. Contact us today to discuss your project.
