Frequently asked questions
How much should a small business website cost?
The sanity-check answer: enough to cover the pages and functions your customers actually use, from a builder you can name; be suspicious of both the four-figure quote with nothing scoped and the too-cheap quote with nothing in writing.
Do I have to pay monthly after the website is built?
Hosting and upkeep are real on every route; our published numbers: free-route renewal $29/month after year one; care is an optional add-on on package builds. Never "free forever," from anyone.
Is the free website offer really open to non-restaurants?
Yes — the live offer page says so in those words (salons, contractors, shops, services); restaurants are the flagship, not the fence.
What does the free audit include?
A review of your current site or Google profile, your competitors' websites, and a homepage mockup within 24 hours — free, no obligation (per live https://restozign.com/optin/).
