01Why the website matters

Your website should do more than exist.

A dated, confusing, or unfinished website can make a great business look unreliable. Cintavo combines thoughtful design, clear messaging, mobile usability, and search-ready foundations to create a website people can trust.

02Who we help

Built for the businesses that make a town feel like a town.

Restaurants & Cafés

A menu that’s easy to update and a site that loads fast on someone’s phone in the parking lot.

02

Contractors & Trades

A site that shows real work and makes it easy to get a quote request, not just a phone number.

03

Tutors & Coaches

Simple scheduling, clear pricing, and a site that makes a one-person business look established.

07FAQ

Common questions

Still wondering about something?

Ask it in your inquiry
01How much does a website cost?

Each project is scoped individually. The cost depends on the number of pages, the features you need, the state of your content, and the complexity of the build. Tell us what you have in mind in the inquiry form and ask for a ballpark—we’ll give you a useful starting point before either of us commits to anything.

02Do I own my website when it’s done?

Yes. Once the project is complete and paid for, the custom website files and the content you supplied are yours. Any third-party tools, fonts, or services remain subject to their own licenses, and we’ll make those clear before launch.

03What if I already have a website?

That’s common. We’ll look at what is worth keeping, what is getting in the way, and whether a focused redesign or a fresh build makes more sense. Your existing site can usually stay live while the new one is being made.

04How long does a project take?

A focused small-business website usually takes several weeks, but the real timeline depends on scope, content readiness, and how quickly feedback moves. You’ll get a clear schedule before work begins, including review dates and what we need from you.

05What happens after launch—is there ongoing support?

Support is available after launch. Website Care can cover content updates, technical maintenance, small improvements, and help when something changes in your business. If you prefer to manage the site yourself, we’ll make the handoff clear.
