What's actually included in a Rooted Square website?
A custom high-speed, mobile-optimized website built for conversion rather than decoration; your custom domain, set up and pointed at the site; hosting and SSL handled for you; and your logo and photos placed and polished so everything looks consistent. Larger packages add online booking and payments, or an online store or ordering, and each package above lists exactly what it includes. Professional business email is available for an additional charge, so you're not running your business from a free Gmail address.
Why not just use a template website builder?
Template builders are fine until you need something they don't do out of the box: fast load times on mobile, forms that route correctly, or a design that doesn't look like every other business on the same platform. We build the site once, correctly, on infrastructure that's ready to carry online booking and payments later without a rebuild.
How fast can my website go live?
Productized delivery means each package has a published timeline, confirmed in your proposal. Onboarding itself is a short intake form plus a discovery call where we capture your business details, brand assets, and the handful of decisions only you can make: logo direction, page copy priorities, domain preference.
What happens to my existing website or domain?
If you already own a domain, we point it at the new site and keep any email on it running through the migration, so there's no window where your business email goes dark. If your current site is on an old platform, we migrate the content worth keeping and leave the rest behind; old, broken pages are not worth preserving just because they exist.
Do I own the website and domain, or does Rooted Square Technologies?
You own your domain, and your business email if you add one, outright. They're registered to your business, not ours. The website itself runs on hosting we manage as part of your care plan, which keeps hosting, security patching and renewals off your plate without putting your domain at risk if you ever change providers.
Why does consistent branding matter for a small business website?
A site built around a clean logo and a consistent set of colors and type looks deliberate rather than assembled, and that consistency is what makes a new business look established on day one. It also pays off beyond the website itself: the same assets get reused on invoices, signage, social profiles and online forms, instead of every piece of your business looking like it came from a different decade.
What does 'fast' actually mean for a business website?
It means the site should load and become usable quickly on an ordinary phone connection, not a marketing claim. Slow sites lose visitors before they ever see what you offer, and speed is one of the things Google considers, so it is both a customer-experience decision and a local SEO decision. That's why it's a non-negotiable in how we build, not an optional upgrade.
