A few things worth knowing
Small questions.
Clear answers.
Websites, combat photography and what to expect when we work together. Here’s how Counterform fits around your business or club.
Websites
Who are these websites for?
New businesses, sole traders and side hustles that need a clear, professional home online. A single page can introduce your business, explain your services, show your work and help customers contact you.
How much does a website cost?
I’ll give you a written quote based on the content and features you need. It sets out the build price, what’s included, payment stages and any separate costs before you commit. Tell me about your business to get started.
How quickly can my website go live?
We agree a delivery date before work begins, based on the brief, my availability and when your content will be ready. Prompt feedback helps keep the project moving. If anything changes, we’ll discuss the effect on the schedule.
What do I need to provide?
Your business details, services, contact information and any text, logo or photos you want to use. You’ll need permission to use anything you supply, including customer testimonials. If you need help shaping the content, let me know so I can include that in the quote.
Will it work on phones?
Yes. Your page is designed to adapt to mobile and desktop screens, with readable content and clear contact links. We check the agreed website on both before launch.
Can I ask for changes?
Yes. Your quote states how many rounds of feedback are included. A round means one combined list of changes within the agreed brief. If you want new features or a different direction, I’ll agree any extra cost and timing with you before doing that work.
Who owns the website and domain?
Your domain and hosting account should be in your name, with me invited to help manage them. The handover includes your website files once the agreed project balance is paid. Third-party fonts, software, stock assets and reusable components keep their own licence terms; your quote explains the ownership and usage rights for the project.
Are hosting, email and a domain included?
The quote explains any setup work included in the build. Domain registration, renewals, business email and paid services are separate unless expressly included. Suitable static websites can use a hosting provider’s free plan, subject to its limits and changing terms. You pay providers directly through your own accounts.
What happens after launch?
You receive a handover explaining your accounts, website files and how to request updates. Ongoing edits or care are optional and agreed separately. If something I delivered isn’t working as agreed, get in touch so I can investigate; a new feature or content update is a separate request.
Can you add a contact form, booking system or shop?
Email, phone and social links are straightforward ways for customers to contact you. Forms or links to an existing booking service can be discussed in the brief. Shops, memberships and custom booking systems need a separate assessment and quote. We agree any provider charges and data-handling requirements before adding them.
Do you use AI to build websites?
Yes. I use AI-assisted tools to make website builds efficient and keep the price accessible. You work directly with me on the brief, content and design, and I review the finished work. Please don’t send passwords or sensitive customer information as website content.
Will my website appear at the top of Google?
A clear structure, page title and description help cover the search basics, but rankings, traffic and enquiries can’t be guaranteed. Ongoing search marketing and advertising are separate from a basic website build.
Where can I see website examples?
Visit Diss BJJ and LA Heat, or head back to the portfolio tiles on the homepage.
Combat photography
What can you photograph?
Combat sports training sessions: the action, coaching and atmosphere that make your gym yours. Fighter and coach portraits can be included by arrangement. Tell me about the session and the shots you have in mind so we can plan the coverage together.
How much does a photography session cost?
I quote for each session based on the location, time at the gym, number of finished images and how you want to use them. We agree the total price, any travel costs, payment timing and what’s included before booking. Send me the details and I’ll put a straightforward quote together.
What photos will I receive, and when?
Your quote sets out the number of edited photographs, file formats and delivery date. I select and edit the finished images to create a useful set for the agreed purpose. Let me know if you need particular crops for your website or social posts, or have a deadline in mind.
Can we use the photos on our website and social media?
That’s a good starting point for a gym shoot. We agree the intended use in your quote, including which business or club will use the images. Mention paid advertising, printed materials or use by sponsors and other organisations when you enquire so the quote covers what you need.
What should we arrange before the shoot?
Send the gym location, session timetable and any people or moments you especially want photographed. We’ll agree where I can work during training and how to let participants know about the photography, including anyone who doesn’t want to be pictured. Portraits or team shots need some time set aside in the session.
Can I book photography without a website?
Yes. Photography is available on its own. If you need a new website as well, we can plan both together so the images suit the page. Each part of the work will be clearly set out in your quote.
