Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our websites, web apps, and CortexMods software: process, pricing, meetings, and local SEO for Wichita and Kansas businesses.

How long does it take to launch a new website or web app?

A Simple Static Site is typically ready to launch within 7 business days after we receive your content and brand details. A Full Custom Web Application — with features like secure logins or custom functionality — usually takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on scope.

Should I get a static site or a custom web application?

Most small businesses just need to be found online and share information — that's exactly what a Simple Static Site is built for: fast, multi-page, and easy to update. If you need user accounts, secure authentication, or custom backend logic, a Full Custom Web Application is the better fit. Tell us what you need your site to do and we'll recommend the right build.

Do you only work with businesses in Wichita?

No. We're based in Wichita, but because we work over Zoom and email, we build sites, web apps, and software for businesses all across Kansas and beyond. Every site we build includes local SEO set up for your own town and service area.

Do we meet in person, or over Zoom?

Almost always over Zoom and email. It saves you a drive, keeps our overhead (and your price) down, and puts every decision in writing. If something truly can't be handled on a screen, we can sometimes arrange an in-person meeting in Wichita, but that's the rare exception. If your business is outside Wichita, every meeting happens over Zoom with no exceptions; we don't travel for meetings.

What SEO is included with every website?

Every site comes ready to be found. We write clear page titles and descriptions, add your business name, hours, and location in the format Google reads, and include a sitemap so search engines can list all your pages. If you're building a Full Custom Web Application, we make sure your public marketing pages are just as search-friendly while any logged-in areas stay private. The technical SEO is handled behind the scenes — you don't have to think about any of it.

Will my website actually load fast?

Yes. Every Simple Static Site is hand-built with clean, lightweight code instead of a bloated page-builder or theme — it should open before a customer even finishes typing your name into Google. Full Custom Web Applications get the same speed-first treatment; a feature like secure logins can add a touch of load time, but staying fast and easy to use is always the goal.

Do I own my website or web app after launch?

Yes — whether you choose a Simple Static Site or a Full Custom Web Application, it's yours to own outright once it's live, with no recurring license fees. Web application builds also include two free code reviews after deployment, and we're happy to discuss ongoing support or updates anytime after launch. Our ready-made software, like CortexMods, works differently: it's a subscription you can start free and cancel anytime, not something you own.

What is CortexMods?

CortexMods is our own software: an AI chat assistant for small-business websites. You teach it your hours, services, prices, and policies, and it answers customers' everyday questions on your site, day or night. It always tells people it's an AI, and anything tricky (refunds, complaints, legal or medical questions) gets handed to you with a short summary. You can build one, test it, and put it on your website for free at cortexmods.com.

Is CortexMods finished?

Not yet, and we'd rather say so plainly. It works today and real businesses can use it, but it's in early access and we're improving it every week. Right now it answers questions, collects messages and appointment requests, and hands conversations to you. It does not book into your calendar, send text messages, take payments, or connect to your email inbox yet. If one of those matters to you, tell us; real requests decide what we build next.

Do I need a website built by you to use CortexMods?

No. CortexMods works on most websites, including Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, and Shopify, by pasting one line of code, and it can run on its own hosted chat page if you don't have a site at all. If we're building your site, just ask and we'll add it as part of the build.
