Frequently Asked Questions

What industries do you serve?

We specialize in healthcare, medical and dental, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), manufacturing, CPG, technology and AI, retail, restaurants and home services. Mining Wells is headquartered in Orange County and works with clients nationwide.

What does the website package include?

A custom website of up to 15 pages, built for desktop, tablet and mobile. SEO setup for Google and AI search, page titles, descriptions and clean web addresses, business details marked up for Google, fast loading and compressed images, a contact form, booking link and analytics, and three rounds of changes. More pages are quoted before we start. Hosting and monthly care are separate.

Does SEO-optimized mean you guarantee rankings?

No. We build your site so Google and AI search tools can understand your business clearly. Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings.

Why is the website preview free?

We'd rather show you what we can do than ask you to imagine it from a proposal. We take on 3 to 5 previews a week, after we review each project.

How many rounds of changes do I get?

Three full rounds of changes on your finished pages before launch. Typos and small fixes never count as a round. If you want more rounds, we quote them before we start.

Who will I work with?

Our founders, Jessica and Ben Wells. You talk to the people building your site, not an account manager.

Do you work on a monthly basis with contracts?

Yes, we work monthly and we also offer year long contracts at a discounted rate. We're flexible with your business needs.

What does Mining Wells do?

Paid advertising, SEO, conversion, email marketing, websites and brand, direct mail and print, public relations and strategy. We work across industries such as CPG, brands, manufacturers, medical providers and more.

Do you offer fractional roles?

Case by case. We're open to discussing fractional work. We limit the number of accounts we take on so Jessica and Ben can stay involved. So before we say yes to a fractional role, we look closely at the role itself, your business goal and the scope.

Can you make funny ads and websites for my company?

Yes, we can. If you need help running ads, that's one of our specialties!

What is custom web design?

Custom web design means your site is planned and built around your business, your customers and your brand, not a template thousands of other sites share. For your business, that means pages written for the services you actually sell and the questions your customers actually ask.

What do website design services include?

Usually the planning, the design and the build, plus the setup that helps people find and use the site, like SEO, forms and analytics. Ours are listed in "What does the website package include?" above.

What does a web design company do?

A web design company plans, designs and builds websites for businesses, and often handles the SEO setup too. With us, our founders work with you directly, so the people you talk to are the people building your site.

What is a website preview?

A website preview is a designed first look at your new site before you commit. The preview is free, and we decide what each preview includes. If you don't like it, you don't pay.

What is SEO-friendly web design?

It means your site is built so Google and AI search tools can read it easily: clear page titles and descriptions, clean web addresses, fast loading, pages that work on phones, and business details marked up for search. It helps people find you, but nobody can honestly guarantee rankings.

What is flat rate website design?

Flat rate website design means one fixed price for an agreed scope, so the bill doesn't grow with every hour of work. Read the scope closely: how many pages, how many rounds of changes, and what costs extra, like hosting and monthly care.

How much does website design cost?

It depends mostly on how many pages you need, what the site has to do and how much writing it takes. We agree on the price before we start, and we quote any extra pages before we build them.

Should I use a website builder or hire a web design agency?

A website builder lets you make a site yourself from templates, which can work if you have the time and know exactly what you want. A web design agency plans, writes and builds it for you, and sets it up so people can find it. If you started on a website builder and got stuck, we can design it for you, starting with a free website preview.
