Do I need a new website?

Not always. If your current site has a good foundation, I will recommend improving it instead.

Can you improve my existing website?

Yes. Many businesses need better messaging and structure, not a rebuild.

Do you work outside Baguio?

Yes, anywhere in the Philippines. Everything can be handled remotely.

How much does a website cost in the Philippines?

The PixelSeed Studio packages start at PHP 45,000 for PixelStart, PHP 65,000 for PixelGrow, PHP 85,000 for PixelGreat, and PHP 105,000 for PixelHigh. Every package includes strategy, positioning, copy, design, and Search Visibility.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Every package is 3 milestones: 40 percent to begin, 40 percent after design approval, 20 percent before launch.

Is hosting or domain included?

Your domain is free for the first year. You cover it from year two onward. Hosting is paid by you directly. With Webflow, hosting is already part of the subscription. With WordPress, you will need a separate hosting company. Either way, I will tell you exactly what to buy and what it costs before you spend anything.

Webflow or WordPress?

We specialise in Webflow. It is fast, reliable, user friendly, and plugin problems are no longer an issue. Hosting is also built into the subscription, so there is nothing else to arrange. If you prefer WordPress, we can build on that too, but it will need a separate hosting company.

Do you build websites for clinics and medical practices?

Yes. Dental clinics, medical clinics, and healthcare practices are a core focus. Clinic websites need clear service pages, easy appointment enquiries, and trust signals like credentials and reviews. A new or single-practitioner clinic usually fits PixelStart at PHP 45,000. A clinic with several services or locations usually needs PixelGrow at PHP 65,000 or higher. Your free Website Assessment will tell you which one honestly fits.

Is strategy and positioning included?

Yes, in every package. Before any design begins, we work out who you serve, what makes you different, and what your website should make people do. Nothing is designed until that is clear.

What does positioning actually mean?

It means your website says the right thing to the right person. Not we do web design, but here is who we help, here is what changes for them, here is why us. Without it, a beautiful website still loses the enquiry.

Why does positioning matter for a small business?

Because your website is not a brochure. It is your online salesperson. It works while you sleep, answers questions before you are asked, and filters out the wrong enquiries so you spend time on the right ones.

Yes, in every tier. It is not an add-on. Deeper coverage on higher tiers.

Is The PixelSeed Studio affordable?

That depends on what you are comparing. If you are comparing to the lowest quote you can find, no. There will always be someone cheaper. If you are comparing what is actually included, yes. Most website quotes in the Philippines cover design and build only. Strategy, positioning, copy, SEO, and Search Visibility are quoted separately or not offered at all. Add those and the total is usually higher than a complete package here. Affordable, in the way we mean it, is getting everything your website needs in one price. Not paying four times for the same website.

What happens after I request an assessment?

I review your business and send an honest recommendation within 48 hours. If working together makes sense, I will suggest the right package. If not, you still get useful direction.
