questions

01

Getting started

What happens before a project begins and how to prepare for the first conversation.

How long does an intro call take?Open answer 1

A phone intro call usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes. If the conversation includes a code review or a deeper technical discussion, it may take closer to 1 hour depending on what you want to cover.

What do I need to prepare?Open answer 2

For an intro call, a short description of your project or situation is enough. If you want us to review code, tickets or technical notes, you can share those beforehand so we can prepare more effectively.

Do I get a quote after the intro call?Open answer 3

We do not send a quote unsolicited, but we are happy to prepare one if you want to continue. First we want to understand the context well and make sure the scope is clear.

What if we're not the right fit?Open answer 4

We only move forward when there is a good match. If we think we are not the right partner, we say that honestly and without obligation.

Is the intro free?Open answer 5

Yes. The initial conversation is free and without obligation. We want to understand your needs properly before any collaboration starts.

How quickly can I get an intro call?Open answer 6

We usually reply within one business day and aim to arrange an intro call within 1 to 2 working days. In busier periods it may take a little longer, but we do our best to help quickly.

02

Services and scope

What Kanso can take on, what is included and where specialist input may be needed.

What types of projects do you take on?Open answer 1

New websites, redesigns, online stores, technical clean-up, SEO foundations and ongoing care. Smaller improvements can also be scoped when they solve a clear business problem.

Can you improve an existing website?Open answer 2

Yes. We can audit, redesign, migrate, optimise or take over an existing website. We first review the current setup and clarify what is worth keeping.

Do I need to have all the content ready?Open answer 3

No. We can work from existing material, help define the content structure and identify what is missing. Full copywriting, translation and content production are scoped separately.

Do you write the content?Open answer 4

Content direction and structure are included. Full copywriting can be coordinated separately when needed.

Can you build multilingual websites?Open answer 5

Yes. Language structure, URLs, navigation, metadata and content management are planned from the start so every version remains consistent and maintainable.

Are legal pages included?Open answer 6

The page templates can be included. The legal wording must be supplied or reviewed by a qualified adviser.

Will the website be accessible?Open answer 7

Accessibility is considered in structure, interaction, colour, semantics and keyboard behaviour from the beginning.

03

Pricing and timing

How proposals, schedules, plan changes and additional work are handled.

How much does a project cost?Open answer 1

Every project is quoted after a short initial conversation. You receive a fixed proposal with the scope, deliverables, schedule and exclusions before work begins.

How long does a project take?Open answer 2

Timing depends on scope, content readiness, feedback and integrations. The agreed schedule and the responsibilities on both sides are included in the proposal.

How long does a website take?Open answer 3

A focused landing page can often be delivered in four to six weeks. Larger websites depend on content readiness, feedback and integrations.

Can I change plans later?Open answer 4

Yes. The plan can change when the website, request volume or operational importance changes.

What happens outside the plan?Open answer 5

You receive a clear explanation and separate scope before additional project work begins.

04

Technology and content

Platforms, editing, migrations, store setup and the content needed to launch well.

Will I be able to update the website myself?Open answer 1

Yes, when self-editing is part of the scope. We choose the editing setup around the content you actually need to manage and provide a clear handover.

Which platforms do you work with?Open answer 2

For marketing websites, we usually work with Nuxt or Astro. For e-commerce, Shopify or PrestaShop may be a good fit. The final choice depends on content, integrations, editing needs and long-term maintenance.

Which platform should I choose?Open answer 3

The decision follows catalogue complexity, team workflow, integrations, budget and the level of technical control required.

Can you migrate an existing catalogue?Open answer 4

Yes. Migration is scoped after reviewing product data, variants, media, URLs and the source platform.

Are payments and shipping configured?Open answer 5

Core payment and shipping configuration is included. Complex carrier, tax or market rules are scoped separately.

Is product photography included?Open answer 6

No. We can coordinate content requirements, but photography and full copywriting are separate services.

05

SEO, performance and quality

How technical quality, accessibility, measurement and sustainable visibility are approached.

Where should an SEO project start?Open answer 1

An audit or focused research phase is usually the best start because it separates assumptions from evidence.

How quickly can results appear?Open answer 2

Timing depends on the starting point, competition, crawl patterns and the work required. Early technical changes may be visible sooner than content growth.

Do you implement the recommendations?Open answer 3

Yes, implementation can be included or scoped after the audit when priorities and dependencies are clear.

Can you work with an existing website?Open answer 4

Yes. The platform, access and technical condition are reviewed before implementation begins.

Do I need ongoing SEO?Open answer 5

Not always. Recurring work is useful when content, competition or commercial priorities continue to change.

How is progress measured?Open answer 6

Measurement follows the objective and can include visibility, qualified landing-page traffic, engagement, leads and technical health.

06

Launch, ownership and support

What happens after launch, who owns what and how ongoing care works.

What happens after launch?Open answer 1

You can choose a clean handover or ongoing care. Support can include maintenance, monitoring, technical updates and a prioritised improvement backlog.

Who owns the website, domain and accounts?Open answer 2

You do. Domains, hosting and third-party accounts should remain in your name. Ownership of the code, credentials and documentation is made explicit in the proposal and handover.

What counts as a support request?Open answer 3

Maintenance, content replacement and contained improvements can fit a plan. Structural work is scoped separately.

How quickly are requests handled?Open answer 4

Response depends on the selected plan, current priority and the information required to begin safely.

Do you support websites built elsewhere?Open answer 5

Often yes, after an initial technical review confirms that the stack and condition are supportable.

Is e-commerce support different?Open answer 6

Yes. Stores have payment, catalogue and checkout dependencies that require a separate review and scope.

Can the store be multilingual?Open answer 7

Yes. Languages, markets, currencies and editorial ownership are defined before implementation.

07

Agency collaboration

Practical answers for studios and teams that need experienced frontend capacity.

Can Kanso work within our existing stack?Open answer 1

Yes, when the stack is viable. The goal is to integrate with the team, not force a preferred framework.

Do you offer white-label development?Open answer 2

Yes, when the communication model, attribution and client relationship are agreed in advance.

Can you communicate with our client?Open answer 3

Yes. Direct client communication can be included when roles and decision ownership are clear.

How are monthly retainers structured?Open answer 4

Capacity, priorities, response expectations and unused time are defined before the retainer begins.

How quickly can a collaboration begin?Open answer 5

Availability depends on current commitments and the clarity of access, scope and schedule.

Do you provide backend development?Open answer 6

Frontend-facing integrations can be included. Broader backend systems require an agreed specialist or separate scope.
