3. SEO & Visibility
What is SEO?
SEO is the process of improving a website so search engines can crawl, understand, index, and rank its content for relevant searches.
Is SEO included with every website?
Every new Devela website includes a strong SEO foundation: optimized architecture, metadata, headings, crawlability, mobile performance, sitemap setup, and analytics integration.
How long before SEO works?
SEO is a long-term growth strategy. Technical improvements can be recognized quickly, while meaningful ranking gains commonly take several months.

Yes. We optimize categories, services, descriptions, business information, photos, reviews, posts, and local relevance.

What is included in the Standard Care Plan?
Managed hosting, SSL, daily backups, WordPress updates, plugin and theme updates, uptime monitoring, security monitoring, and priority email support.

How often are backups performed?
Standard managed websites are typically backed up daily, with additional backups performed before significant updates when appropriate.
What happens if my website goes down?
We investigate the issue, coordinate with the hosting provider when necessary, and work to restore normal operation.
Can you maintain a site you did not build?
Often, yes. We first review the website’s hosting, plugins, security, performance, and overall technical condition.
5. Pricing & Process
How do payments work?
Smaller projects commonly use a deposit and final payment. Larger projects may include milestone payments defined in the proposal.
Is a deposit required?
Yes. A deposit is required to reserve your project and begin discovery, planning, design, and development.
Are there contracts?
Project scope, pricing, responsibilities, payment terms, and deliverables are documented in a written proposal and agreement.
Can features be added later?
Yes. Additional pages, forms, ecommerce functionality, booking systems, integrations, and custom features can be added as your business grows.
