Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Web Design & Development services.
How much does custom web design cost in San Antonio?
+
Custom web design in San Antonio typically ranges from $8,500 to $30,000+, depending on the size of the website, design requirements, functionality, content needs, and integrations. Smaller business websites generally fall toward the lower end of that range, while larger or more complex websites may cost more. Projects that include UX strategy, custom design, content migration, accessibility, analytics, third-party integrations, or advanced functionality typically require a larger investment. At Herospace, each website is scoped around the organization’s specific goals, audiences, and technical requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Why choose custom WordPress over DIY website builders like Wix or Squarespace?
+
DIY page builders locked in proprietary systems often suffer from bloated code, slow speeds, poor SEO customization, and zero code ownership. Custom WordPress development gives your organization complete ownership, fast performance, custom AI/API integrations, and total design control.
How long does a custom website development project take to launch?
+
A typical custom website project takes 8 to 16 weeks from discovery through launch, depending on the size, complexity, content needs, and functionality of the site. Larger websites involving extensive content migration, custom integrations, accessibility requirements, or multiple stakeholder reviews may take 4 to 6 months or longer. Herospace establishes a clear project timeline upfront, with defined milestones and client review checkpoints throughout the process.
Do you work with small businesses and startups in San Antonio?
+
Yes. We regularly partner with San Antonio small businesses, growing startups, and local companies that need a scalable digital foundation. We help small business owners eliminate digital bottlenecks, establish brand clarity, optimize for local search (Google Maps & Search), and build a high-performing website that turns local visitors into paying customers.
How do I choose a web design agency in San Antonio?
+
Look for an agency with experience in strategy, UX, accessibility, SEO, development, and ongoing support, not just visual design. Review their past work, project process, technical capabilities, and experience with organizations similar to yours. Herospace brings these disciplines together in one San Antonio-based team.
Can you redesign a website without losing SEO rankings?
+
Yes. A properly planned redesign can protect—and potentially improve—existing search visibility. Herospace considers SEO throughout the process, including URL mapping, 301 redirects, metadata, internal links, site structure, page performance, analytics, and Google Search Console.
What should be included in a website redesign RFP?
+
A strong website redesign RFP should define your goals, audiences, scope, functionality, CMS requirements, accessibility standards, integrations, content migration needs, timeline, and budget. Larger projects should also address UX and information architecture, SEO and analytics, training, hosting, security, and post-launch support.
Do you provide website strategy and UX services before development begins?
+
Yes. Herospace can provide discovery, analytics review, content audits, audience analysis, information architecture, sitemaps, wireframes, and UX recommendations before development. This helps establish what the website needs to accomplish and how users should navigate it before design and development begin.
Can you improve our existing website without completely redesigning it?
+
Yes. A full redesign isn’t always necessary. Herospace can make targeted improvements to navigation, UX, accessibility, page speed, SEO, analytics, content, landing pages, and functionality. This can extend the life of an existing website while addressing the issues having the greatest impact on users and performance.
