10 Common Questions About Hiring a Web Designer
(and Honest Answers You’ll Actually Understand)
Thinking about building or upgrading your website but not sure where to start? These are the questions we hear most often from small business owners around Victoria and Vancouver Island. Including straightforward answers (and a few reasons why Blue Fin Web Design might be the right fit for you).
Should I hire a web developer or use a website builder?
Website builders like Wix or Squarespace can seem easy, but they’re limited in SEO, speed, and customization. A professional web designer builds a site that’s fast, secure, and tailored to your goals, especially if you want to attract local customers in Victoria or across Vancouver Island.
At Blue Fin Web Design, we help small businesses move beyond cookie-cutter templates with custom designed sites that reflect your brand and actually convert website visitors.
How much does it cost to hire a web developer in Canada?
Pricing depends on your goals. A small business website typically ranges from $2,000 to $6,000 for design, development, and setup. At Blue Fin, we create sites that will actually bring in new customers and get your website seen in your local community.
We offer clear estimates and flexible packages so you know exactly what services and results that you will be getting.
Why hire a web designer instead of using a free template?
Free tools often come with hidden costs: slow load times, poor SEO, and limited design control. A custom website gives you flexibility, ownership, and the ability to grow from small startup to a successful brand.
Blue Fin Web Design builds fast, mobile-friendly WordPress sites that perform well for years, trusted by non-profits, local small business owners, and community groups across Vancouver Island and Canada.
Can a web designer help with SEO and Google rankings?
Yes they can! A professional web designer structures your site for visibility by using keyword-focused headings, clean code, and local SEO setup.
Every Blue Fin site is built with SEO best practices from day one so your business can be found on Google, not buried behind competitors.
What should I look for when hiring a web developer?
Check for experience with your platform (like WordPress), clear communication, and real client results. Ask to see live sites, not just mockups.
Blue Fin Web Design is local, transparent, and hands-on, we guide you through every step so you understand where your investment goes and what the next steps are.
Can a Facebook page replace a website?
A Facebook page is great for general business updates, but you don’t own the platform or control your visibility. A website gives you full control, analytics, and credibility.
Blue Fin Web Design helps small businesses create that professional home online — with social media integrations that work together, not against you.
Will my website show up first on Google right away?
SEO takes time and consistency. You won’t rank overnight, but with optimized content, backlinks, and maintenance, your visibility will grow over time. It will also depend on your business's niche, competitors and subject popularity.
We build SEO-ready sites and support you with ongoing optimization to help you climb Google’s rankings the right way.
Can I update my website myself after it’s built?
Absolutely. All Blue Fin sites are designed in WordPress so you can easily edit content and photos.
And if you’d rather not worry about updates, our affordable maintenance plans keep your site secure, backed up, and running smoothly.
Do I need ongoing website maintenance?
Yes, websites need regular updates to stay secure, fast, accessible and compatible with new browsers and technologies.
Blue Fin Web Design offers flexible maintenance packages to handle updates, backups, and performance tuning — so your site stays healthy while you focus on running your business.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most small business websites take 3–6 weeks, depending on project size, individual goals and client feedback speed.
We plan every step in advance and keep you in the loop, delivering polished, ready-to-launch sites on schedule.
