Question 1

Do you build websites for small businesses in Albany NY?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Mylobstr is based in Albany, NY and specializes in website design for local small businesses across Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs, and the Capital Region. You work with a real local team, not an offshore agency.

Question 2

What types of small businesses do you build websites for?

Accepted Answer

All types — restaurants, barbershops, hair salons, plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, gyms, pet clinics, retail stores, and more. Any local business that needs a professional online presence.

Question 3

How much does a website cost?

Accepted Answer

Three plans, all transparent: Starter at $100 (5-page website for new businesses), Growing Business at $150 (10 pages with logo design and full SEO), and Scale at $250 (20 pages with an admin panel). After launch, a flat monthly rate — $25/mo for Starter, $30/mo for Growing Business, $50/mo for Scale — covers hosting, support, and updates. No surprise invoices, no hidden fees.

Question 4

Are there any hidden fees I should know about?

Accepted Answer

None from us. The only outside cost is a domain name (~$12/year through a registrar like Namecheap), and on Growing Business and Scale plans we register it for you if it's under $20/year. Hosting, SSL, updates, and support are all included in your monthly fee.

Question 5

Is there a long-term contract?

Accepted Answer

No contracts, no lock-in. Cancel any time with 30 days notice. We believe in earning your business every month — not trapping you.

Question 6

What happens to my site if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

You keep your domain name. We'll export all your content (text, images, pages) in a portable format so you're never stranded. We can also help you migrate to another provider if needed.

Question 7

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 14-day satisfaction guarantee. If you're not happy within the first 14 days, we refund your first payment in full, no questions asked.

Question 8

How long does it take to build my website?

Accepted Answer

Most sites go live within 7 business days of receiving your content. Complex builds with custom features or ecommerce may take a little longer. We'll give you a firm timeline before we start.

Question 9

Will my website look unique or like a template?

Accepted Answer

Every site is custom-built for your business. We don't use page builders or WordPress themes. Your site is coded from scratch, so it looks and performs exactly how it should.

Question 10

Will my website show up on Google?

Accepted Answer

We set up all SEO basics: page titles, meta descriptions, sitemap, and Google Search Console submission — plus we claim and set up your Google Business Profile. Results typically appear within 2–8 weeks. We can't guarantee rankings, but we give Google everything it needs.

Question 11

Do I own my website?

Accepted Answer

You own your domain name and all your content. The site is hosted and maintained under your subscription. If you ever leave, we hand over all content and code files so you're never held hostage.
