Web Design Agency FAQ

A web design agency plans, designs, builds, and launches websites for businesses — handling everything from layout and branding to development, SEO, and payment integration. Instead of hiring a designer, a developer, and an SEO specialist separately, an agency like Archypage manages the full process under one roof.

A website is often the first place a customer checks before they call, visit, or buy from you. It builds credibility, works as a 24/7 sales tool, and lets you show up in Google searches when people look for what you sell. Social media pages alone can't do this — you don't own that platform or its rules.

Yes. Archypage is a Nigerian web design agency that has built 100+ websites for businesses across Abuja, Lagos, and other Nigerian cities. We design, develop, and optimise WordPress and WooCommerce websites specifically for the Nigerian market — Naira pricing, local payment gateways, and local SEO included.

A freelancer usually works alone, which can mean slower delivery and a single point of failure if they get busy or unavailable. An agency has a team — design, development, and SEO working together — so projects move faster, quality is more consistent, and there's ongoing support after launch rather than a one-person handoff.

Website costs in Nigeria typically range from ₦150,000 for a simple site to over ₦1,000,000 for a custom eCommerce platform, depending on pages, features, and design complexity. Our own packages start at ₦350,000 for a business website. For a full cost breakdown, read our guide: How Much Does It Cost to Build a Website in Nigeria?

All our quotes, invoices, and payments are in Nigerian Naira. We never invoice in dollars, so there are no exchange-rate surprises between the quote you receive and the amount you pay.

We work on a simple 50/50 structure — 50% deposit to begin the project and 50% on delivery, before the site goes fully live. Larger custom builds can be split into more milestones on request. See our full pricing breakdown for package details.

No. The price we quote is the price you pay for the build. Ongoing costs are limited to things you'd need regardless of who builds your site — domain renewal, hosting, and optional services like SEO or maintenance retainers, all discussed upfront before you commit.

We integrate Paystack and Flutterwave on every WooCommerce store, supporting card payments, bank transfers, and USSD. Both live and test modes are verified before launch. For a comparison of Nigerian options, see our guide on Payment Gateways in Nigeria.

Most projects are delivered in 7–14 business days once the deposit is paid and your content is received. Simple business sites move faster; eCommerce stores with many products take closer to the upper end of that range.

It runs in five stages: discovery (understanding your business and goals), design (layout and visual direction), development (building the site in WordPress), review (you check and request changes), and launch (going live with SEO basics set up). We keep you updated by WhatsApp at every stage.

We ask for your logo (if you have one), business description, contact details, product or service list, and any photos or brand colours you want used. If you don't have content ready, we can guide you through what's needed or help draft it.

Yes. Every package includes review rounds where you can request layout, content, or design changes before the site is finalised. We share a preview link so you can see the site as it's built, rather than waiting until the very end.

No — you can launch a website with an unregistered business. That said, registering with the CAC adds credibility and is required if you plan to accept certain payment gateway settlements or open a corporate bank account. See our step-by-step guide: How to Register a Business Name in Nigeria.

We primarily build on WordPress with Elementor Pro — the world's most widely used content management system. It gives you full ownership of your site, easy content updates without coding, strong SEO capabilities, and it scales from a simple business site to a full eCommerce store on the same platform.

Yes. WordPress makes it possible for you to edit text, swap images, update prices, and add blog posts without touching code. We provide a short handover walkthrough after launch so you're comfortable making basic changes on your own.

We can set your site up on hosting of your choice, or recommend a reliable provider based on your budget and traffic needs. You own the hosting account either way — there's no lock-in. Compare local and international options in our guide: Hosting Companies in Nigeria.

Yes — every website we build is mobile-first by default, since most Nigerian traffic comes from phones on MTN, Airtel, and Glo data. We test each site across screen sizes and connection speeds before launch.

Both. Standard business and eCommerce packages use a customised design built around your brand — not a generic theme. For more advanced needs like booking systems, school portals, or custom shortcodes, our custom development service builds functionality from scratch.

Every website we build ships with a full on-page SEO foundation — keyword targeting, meta titles and descriptions, schema markup, an XML sitemap, and Google Search Console setup. This gives your site the best possible starting position, though ranking on page one for competitive terms takes ongoing SEO work over time, not a one-time setup.

Local SEO helps your business show up when nearby customers search for what you offer — for example "web design agency in Abuja." It includes Google Business Profile optimisation and location-specific pages. If most of your customers are in a specific city or district, local SEO is one of the highest-return investments you can make.

Yes, we offer monthly local SEO packages that build on the foundation set at launch — content, backlinks, keyword tracking, and area-page expansion. See our SEO services page for details.

Launch includes a walkthrough of your admin dashboard, final testing across devices, and submission to Google Search Console. Every package also includes two months of free support so small issues are fixed without an extra bill.

Yes. After the free support period, we offer monthly maintenance retainers covering plugin and security updates, backups, uptime monitoring, and small content changes — so your site stays fast and secure without you having to think about it.

Message us on WhatsApp and we'll look into it. Issues within the free support window are fixed at no cost; anything outside that window is handled quickly under a maintenance plan or a one-off fix, whichever suits you.
