Content FAQs
Do I provide my own content?
Yes. StartKit will design the layout and structure of the text provided by you.
If you have photos that you would like to add to the site, that’s great. If you don’t, that’s also great. We provide our customers with unlimited access to Unsplash, Twenty20 and Pexels stock images, with an additional 5 images from iStock’s signature range. We will guide you through the process, don’t worry!
Will you change my content?
Any website that just tosses text into spaces without thought isn’t optimised for people or Google hence we may need to make tweaks here and there. Usability, headlines, visual composition and more are all things we’ll take into consideration while building each page. If we feel major text changes are necessary, we will speak to you about quote before going ahead.
We’re not good at writing content. What do we do?
We get it, you’re a business person who is best at doing the do, and the do doesn’t involve writing reader-friendly text for your website. Good thing, the experienced team at StartKit are able to help with content development for an additional fee.
Branding FAQs
We’re just starting up and don’t have a brand. What do you need from us?
A brand is much more than a name. We need logo, colours and even positioning. We’ll be able to gather the later from discussion but a good idea of the best approach forward.
Can you make me a logo?
We sure can! Our StartKit team consists of web devs, graphic designers, copywriters through to marketing specialist who can support your business with several solutions including logo design. Our logo design starts at $500 and increases depending on change requests.

Design FAQs
Won’t our site look like many others?
And that’s the best part about StartKit! Although a 1000 different businesses could use the same template, because of the original nature of each business, the final website will be unique. (Just like all 500sm2 houses with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a kitchen don’t look the same!) Adding your business’ colours, content, messaging and visuals to any WebKit equals a custom, unique website for your business.
Can we choose bits and pieces from different StartKits?
Yes, you can – our StartKits can be mixed and matched!
We want to incorporate some custom design. Is that possible?
Our base StartKit involves using pre-built designs, however, you’re not limited to only using that. For an additional fee, we can add custom elements and pages. Get in touch with our team to go over the scope of work and additional costs.

Hosting FAQs
What is website hosting?

Yes, your WebKit comes with 6-months of free hosting. Our robust, rapid and local servers (in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney) include weekly backups and on-going upgrades, boosting your site’s overall performance.

Will my site be fast?

Will our existing rankings decline because of this revamp?
A new website, if designed and developed right, will bring about many benefits. One of the drawbacks to a new website are temporary changes to search visibility as Google goes about crawling and reindexing this new site. Your rankings may drop but will return to normal within a couple of weeks.
