Frequently Asked Questions

Can I move my website off your subscription?2026-10-06T14:02:12-06:00

Yes. We offer website buyout options for subscription clients who wish to transition ownership in the future.

Can I transfer my existing website?2026-06-07T16:19:46-06:00

Absolutely. Our team can review your existing website and discuss migration options.

Can I upgrade later?2026-06-07T08:30:38-06:00

Absolutely. Many businesses begin with our Standard Subscription and later upgrade to Premium as their marketing needs expand.

Can my website handle bookings, reservations, or online payments?2026-10-06T14:02:14-06:00

Yes. We regularly build booking forms, reservation calendars, WhatsApp-integrated contact flows, and online payment or deposit collection into websites for tour operators, vacation rentals, and restaurants. The right setup depends on your business — a tour company usually needs date-based availability, while a vacation rental may just need an inquiry form that routes to your existing booking platform. Let us know what you’re currently using (or want to use) and we’ll build around it.

Can you make content changes for me?2026-06-10T16:39:54-06:00

Yes. Depending on your management plan, monthly time is allocated for general website edits, content updates, and minor development requests.

Do I receive access to my hosting account?2026-06-07T16:19:16-06:00

Yes. Hosting plans include FTP and cPanel access, allowing you to manage your website and hosting environment.

Do you build on WordPress, or a website builder like Wix or Squarespace?2026-09-06T07:14:46-06:00

We build on WordPress, which gives your business more flexibility, better long-term SEO control, and a much larger ecosystem of tools (booking plugins, multilingual support, e-commerce) than drag-and-drop builders like Wix or Squarespace typically offer. It’s also the platform we can maintain and grow for you over time as your business changes — which matters if you’re planning to add online booking, multiple languages, or a shop down the road.

Do you manage websites you didn’t build?2026-06-10T16:38:57-06:00

Yes. However, websites developed by other providers require an initial assessment before joining one of our management plans to ensure compatibility and identify any existing issues.

Do you offer support after my website launches?2026-10-06T14:02:16-06:00

Yes. Every One-Time Build includes 3 months of support after launch for fixes and questions, and every Website Subscription includes ongoing support and maintenance for as long as the plan is active. Beyond that, we offer management and support plans for site owners who want us on call for updates, changes, or troubleshooting without re-negotiating a new project each time.

Do you provide support?2026-06-10T13:27:23-06:00

Yes, in both English and Spanish. Our team provides online support for hosting-related questions and technical issues.

Do you work with businesses outside Costa Rica?2026-06-07T08:31:17-06:00

Yes. We work with clients throughout Costa Rica, North America, and internationally.

Does my website need to be in English and Spanish?2026-09-06T07:12:47-06:00

If you’re serving international travelers as well as local customers — which is true for most tourism, hospitality, and vacation rental businesses in Costa Rica — a bilingual site usually pays for itself. Most of your booking traffic likely searches in English, but local suppliers, partners, and a growing share of domestic tourists search in Spanish. We can build your site bilingual from the start or add a Spanish (or English) version later; it doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing decision on day one.

How long does it take to build a website?2026-10-06T14:02:24-06:00

Most small business websites take 2 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on how many pages you need, whether you’re providing photos and copy or need those created, and how quickly you review drafts. A simple one-page site can move faster; a multi-page tourism site with booking integrations, bilingual content, or e-commerce takes longer. We’ll give you a specific timeline once we know your scope during the initial consultation.

How many pages are included with my website?2026-07-07T16:52:16-06:00

Both our Website Subscription plans and One-Time Website Builds include the design and development of a website with up to 10 pages.

If your website requires more than 10 pages, additional pages can be added in groups of five (5) for a one-time fee of $150+tax.

For example, a website requiring up to 15 pages would include one additional 5-page add-on. This allows your website to grow beyond the standard layout while keeping additional development costs simple and transparent.

How much does a website cost in Costa Rica?2026-09-06T07:08:11-06:00

Website costs in Costa Rica typically range from around $350 for a very basic single page up to $12,000+ for a custom multi-page build with e-commerce or booking functionality. At Pacific Web Design, we offer two starting points: a Website Subscription from $49+tax/month (design, hosting, and maintenance bundled in) or a One-Time Build from $895+tax (you own the finished site outright). The right price depends on how many pages you need, whether you want online booking or payments, and whether you’d rather pay monthly or own the asset upfront.

I already have a website — can you redesign it instead of building a new one?2026-10-06T14:02:17-06:00

Yes — a redesign is often faster and less expensive than starting from scratch, since we can usually keep your existing content, photos, and any SEO rankings you’ve already built while modernizing the design, speed, and mobile experience. We’ll do a quick audit of your current site first to tell you honestly whether a redesign or a fresh rebuild makes more sense for your situation.

If Pacific builds my website, do I own it?2026-09-06T07:10:04-06:00

With a One-Time Build, yes — you own the finished website outright, including the design and code, once it’s delivered. With a Website Subscription, Pacific hosts, maintains, and manages the site as part of the plan, so ownership works differently — think of it as a fully managed service rather than an asset you hold the deed to. We’re upfront about which model you’re choosing before you sign up, and we can walk you through what “ownership” means for either option so there are no surprises later.

Is SEO included when you build my website?2026-09-06T07:12:09-06:00

Every website we build — subscription or one-time — includes basic SEO setup: proper page titles, meta descriptions, mobile-responsive design, and location-based content so search engines can find and understand your site. This covers the technical foundation. Ongoing keyword-targeted content, link building, and monthly SEO strategy are a separate, deeper service handled by our sister team, Pacific Marketing — worth adding once your site is live if ranking higher is a priority.

Is this hosting suitable for WordPress?2026-06-07T16:18:56-06:00

Yes. Our hosting environment is fully compatible with WordPress and is one of the most common platforms we support.

Is website management included with hosting?2026-06-10T16:41:23-06:00

No. Hosting keeps your website online, while website management focuses on updates, maintenance, monitoring, and ongoing support. Together, they provide a complete solution for long-term website success.

Is website management included?2026-10-06T14:02:19-06:00

Website management is available as a separate service for clients who want ongoing updates, monitoring, and support.

What additional costs will I have if I choose the One-Time Website Build?2026-06-07T12:34:31-06:00

The One-Time Website Build includes your website design and development, plus one year of hosting, domain registration, and SSL security when hosted through Pacific Web Design.

After the first year, renewal costs start at $160+tax / per year, which includes:

  • Website Hosting
  • Domain Registration
  • SSL Security Certificate

These renewal fees only apply if your website is hosted on our servers and we manage your domain registration. If you choose to provide your own hosting and domain provider, these costs would be paid directly to your chosen provider and not through Pacific Web Design.

Additionally, some websites may require premium features, third-party integrations, or specialized functionality such as booking systems, membership platforms, e-commerce extensions, advanced forms, or other premium software. These tools may carry separate annual or monthly licensing fees determined by their respective providers.

We will always discuss and disclose any additional costs before implementing premium features, ensuring there are no surprises as your website grows.

What happens during website updates?2026-06-10T16:39:18-06:00

We perform software updates, security reviews, testing, and general maintenance to keep your website functioning properly and securely.

What happens if I stop paying for my website subscription?2026-09-06T07:17:17-06:00

Because a subscription website is hosted and managed as part of the plan, the site goes offline if the subscription ends, similar to canceling any hosted software service. If you’d rather have a website you keep regardless of ongoing payments, the One-Time Build gives you full ownership from day one. We’re happy to talk through both models before you commit so the tradeoff is clear upfront rather than a surprise later. Website subscriptions also offer a Buyout purchase available after the sixth month, allowing you to keep your website and content without the monthly subscription.

What if I need work beyond my included time?2026-06-10T16:40:30-06:00

Additional website management and development services are available at our standard hourly rate and can be quoted before work begins.

What is the subscription buyout process?2026-06-07T09:38:00-06:00

Subscription clients become eligible for a website buyout after completing six (6) months of active service. The buyout option allows you to transition from a monthly subscription to full ownership of your website.

The buyout fee is $650+tax and includes:

  • Full ownership of your website
  • Transfer of all website credentials and administrative access
  • One (1) year of website hosting included
  • One (1) year of domain registration included
  • One (1) year of SSL security included

Once the buyout is completed, you will have full control of your website and may continue hosting with us or choose to manage the website independently or through another provider.

What’s included in ongoing website hosting and maintenance?2026-10-06T14:02:21-06:00

With a Website Subscription, hosting and maintenance include secure hosting, regular backups, software and security updates, uptime monitoring, and minor content edits as needed — so you’re not the one who has to notice when something breaks. If you own your site outright through a One-Time Build, we offer hosting and maintenance as an add-on service billed separately, or you’re welcome to manage it yourself or with another provider.

What’s the difference between a website subscription and a one-time build — which is right for my business?2026-10-06T14:02:22-06:00

A subscription (from $49+tax/month) bundles the design, hosting, security, and ongoing maintenance into one predictable payment, but you don’t own the site outright the way you would with a one-time build. A one-time build(from $895+tax) means you pay once and own the finished website — hosting and future updates are then handled separately, by you or billed as needed. If cash flow matters more than ownership, or you want us handling updates indefinitely, subscription usually wins. If you want a fixed asset you control completely, the one-time build does.

Which plan is most popular?2026-06-07T08:30:14-06:00

Our Premium Website Subscription is the most popular choice because it combines website management with SEO services to help businesses grow online.
