Question 1

What does Donaldson Studio actually do?

Accepted Answer

A website is one piece. We get the whole digital foundation organized: domain ownership, professional email, Google and search setup, account recovery and security, payments, lead capture, and a simple record of what you own and where it lives. Then we build the website on top of it.

Question 2

What is the normal website project?

Accepted Answer

The Launch Website is our core engagement at $1,495. It gives us enough room to understand the business, refine the message, build up to five focused pages, set up lead capture and local SEO foundations, harden the site, and launch it properly.

Question 3

What is the $98 Website Sprint?

Accepted Answer

A different, deliberately smaller product: one focused hour and one polished landing page built from the materials you already have. It is ideal when one page genuinely solves the problem, or when you want to experience our process before commissioning a larger build.

Question 4

What is the Digital Foundation?

Accepted Answer

It is the business setup underneath the website: domain ownership, professional email, Google and search foundations, account security and recovery, lead and payment connections where needed, plus a simple Digital Property Passport showing what you own and where it lives. $398.

Question 5

What is Website Care?

Accepted Answer

Optional ongoing work at $199/month. It covers monthly updates, local SEO attention, analytics review, site checks, and up to 60 minutes of useful improvements each month. Cancel anytime — the site is still yours without it.

Question 6

What if I need ecommerce or custom software?

Accepted Answer

That usually becomes a Growth Build starting at $2,495. We scope it first instead of forcing a complicated business into a generic package.

Question 7

Who owns the site?

Accepted Answer

You do. We build in an account you control and your domain stays in your name. Platform and domain charges are paid directly by you. We use collaborator or manager access where appropriate instead of becoming the permanent owner of your digital property.

Question 8

I don't have a website at all. Where do I start?

Accepted Answer

For most established businesses, start with the $1,495 Launch Website. If one focused landing page genuinely solves the problem, the $98 Website Sprint is the fast entry option. Either way, the site lives in your account.

Question 9

Can you help my business show up on Google?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We help with the Google Business Profile and the search foundation as well as the website: accurate business information, site structure, location signals, and the account ownership needed to keep it maintained.

Question 10

Can you take the photos too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially for local businesses. At markets, shops, pop-ups, and job sites we can photograph the owner, products, booth or workspace, signage, and useful details so the site starts with strong material instead of placeholder content.

Question 11

Do you only work in Joshua Tree?

Accepted Answer

Joshua Tree is home base. We work across the High Desert — Yucca Valley, Twentynine Palms, Morongo Valley, Pioneertown, Landers — and with owner-operated businesses anywhere. The process works well remotely.
