How long does it take to build a website?
Websites take about 30 to 45 days from start to finish. This will depend on how soon clients can provide content and how complex their web project is.
Will my website show up on Google?
Yes! I make sure your website is built the right way. I design every website with SEO from the very beginning of the site build. That includes getting your business cited in today’s Google AI Overview results.
Can I update my WordPress website myself?
Absolutely! I use WordPress for my clients because it’s so easy to update, no matter your skill level. I will walk you through how to make changes to text and photos confidently. I want you to keep your site fresh going forward, and so does Google.

How much does a professionally designed website cost in northern Michigan?
The cost of a professionally designed website depends on the size of the website, the features needed, and the amount of content required. A professionally designed website is an investment in your northern Michigan business so hire a web designer with expertise and pricing that fits your budget. Marcie Wolf of Abuzz Creative has been building websites for 25 years so she knows how much a website will cost. Marcie publishes her web design pricing for public view.
Why should I hire a professional website designer instead of using an AI website builder?
AI website builders can create a website quickly, but a professional website designer creates a website that attracts customers, ranks in search results, and grows over time. For your business, the question is not whether AI can build a website. The question is whether that website will generate leads, build trust, and help your business compete online. A local web designer understands your business, knows a lot of your customers, works in the same local market, or learns what makes you different from your competitors.
