Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers before you start your website request.

A calm, straightforward explanation of how Prismatics Digital Design manages website projects, edits, hosting, domains, billing, and ownership. Everything below is built around a managed, code-based service, so you always know what is handled for you.

Website ownership and control

What you own, what you can customize, and how a managed, code-based website works day to day.

Do I own my website?

You own your business content, brand assets, logo, the images you provide, and the approved final content. Ownership or transfer rights for the website code, design files, third-party tools, licensed assets, and custom functionality may depend on your project agreement, payment status, and any third-party platform restrictions.

Can I customize my website?

Yes. Your website is customized during the design and development process around your business, brand, services, content, and goals. Prismatics Digital builds custom websites rather than forcing every client into the same basic template.

Can I edit the website myself after it is built?

Usually not directly. Most Prismatics Digital websites are code-based and professionally managed, so clients do not edit the site the way you would in a drag-and-drop builder. This protects the design quality, layout consistency, performance, security, and technical structure of your site.

Why can't I make changes myself?

Your website is managed as a professional, code-based project rather than a DIY builder. Direct editing can unintentionally break layouts, hurt mobile responsiveness, slow the site down, damage SEO structure, or create security and compatibility issues. Prismatics Digital handles updates so the website stays polished, stable, and professional.

Can I transfer my website later?

Yes. If you decide to move your website later, Prismatics Digital can help with the transfer process. Available transfer options may depend on your hosting setup, domain setup, third-party tools, licenses, any unpaid invoices, and the specific terms of your project agreement.

Content changes and support

How updates work after launch, what's included, and how we help with content and images.

How do website changes work after launch?

You can request website updates through your client dashboard or by contacting Prismatics Digital directly. We review the request and handle the technical work for you.

How many changes are included?

Each active managed website plan includes up to 4 standard content change requests per year at no additional charge. These cover simple updates such as editing text, replacing images, updating business information, or adjusting small sections. Larger redesigns, new pages, new features, advanced forms, integrations, or urgent requests may require a separate quote.

Can I request changes anytime?

Yes. You can submit requests at any time. Implementation timing depends on the size of the request, your active service plan, current scheduling, and whether the change is included in your plan or requires a separate quote.

Can you help with content and images?

Yes. Prismatics Digital can help organize your website content, improve wording, suggest structure, and place images professionally. Clients remain responsible for ensuring that any submitted images, logos, and content are legally permitted to be used.

Hosting, domains, and transfers

Using your own domain, where hosting runs, and your options for managed or self-owned setups.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. You can use an existing domain, or ask Prismatics Digital to help with domain setup. If a domain is purchased or renewed through the platform, fulfillment may be handled through Vercel after payment.

Do I need to buy hosting separately?

Not always. Prismatics Digital can provide managed website hosting when it is included in your service. In some cases your site may run on Vercel infrastructure while being managed by Prismatics Digital.

Can I use my own hosting account?

Possibly, depending on the project. Some websites can be deployed to a client-owned hosting account, while others work better under a managed setup. Prismatics Digital will review the best option with you before the project starts.

Pricing, billing, and refunds

What projects start at, how payments are handled, and how the money-back guarantee works.

How much does a website cost?

Simple web design projects start from $1,200+. Final pricing depends on the number of pages, design complexity, content needs, forms, integrations, hosting, domain setup, and any custom features.

How does billing work?

Payments, subscriptions, invoices, and billing updates may be handled securely through Stripe. Prismatics Digital does not store full card details inside the website platform.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Prismatics Digital advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee for eligible website projects. Any refund request may still depend on the approved scope, project status, agreement terms, and work already delivered.

Project process

What happens after you submit a request, typical timelines, redesigns, and working remotely.

What happens after I submit a request?

Your request is reviewed manually. Nothing is automatically approved, charged, created, or purchased. After review, Prismatics Digital will contact you, ask any follow-up questions, or send a quote.

Is submitting a request a contract?

No. Submitting a request does not automatically create a contract or start work. Work begins only after the scope, pricing, and required approvals are confirmed.

How long does a website take?

The timeline depends on project size, client responsiveness, content readiness, and the number of revisions. Prismatics Digital will provide a more accurate timeline after reviewing your request.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes. If you already have a website, you can share the link during the request process. Prismatics Digital can review it and recommend whether to redesign, rebuild, or improve selected parts.

Do you work with businesses outside Chicago?

Yes. Prismatics Digital can work with businesses remotely, as long as communication, approvals, content, and billing can be handled online.
