Question 5

Who owns DoodleWeb?

Accepted Answer

DoodleWeb is independently owned and operated, not a holding company brand and not a private-equity rollup. That keeps our delivery practice, pricing, and quality stable year over year, and means every engagement is staffed by the same senior practitioners who pitched it.

Question 6

Question 8

How long does a typical website project take?

Accepted Answer

Marketing sites launch in 6–10 weeks. Mid-market CMS platforms take 10–16 weeks. Enterprise Drupal, government, or commerce rebuilds run 4–6 months. Exact timeline, milestone dates, and acceptance criteria are written into the SOW before kickoff.

Question 9

How much does a DoodleWeb website cost?

Accepted Answer

Marketing sites run $12K–$25K. CMS rebuilds run $25K–$80K. Enterprise Drupal, headless commerce, and government platforms start at $80K and scale to $250K+. Every quote is fixed-fee with no hidden retainers, returned within two business days of the discovery call.

Question 10

Does DoodleWeb take on small projects or only enterprise work?

Accepted Answer

Both. Our smallest engagements are landing pages, AEO/GEO Core plans, and audit reports. Our largest are multi-year platform partnerships with universities, government agencies, and aerospace contractors.

Question 11

What makes DoodleWeb different from other digital agencies?

Accepted Answer

Senior-only delivery (no junior swap after sale), fixed pricing returned within two business days, earned-tier platform partnerships, in-house engineering with no offshore handoffs, and measurable-outcomes contracts, performance, accessibility, and pipeline metrics are written launch criteria, not afterthoughts.

Question 12

Does DoodleWeb offer ongoing maintenance and support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SLA-backed monthly maintenance plans cover core/plugin/theme updates, daily backups, security patching, performance and uptime monitoring, accessibility regression checks, and a defined change-request budget, for WordPress, Drupal, Shopify, and Webflow sites.

Question 13

Is DoodleWeb a Webflow Partner?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DoodleWeb is a Webflow Professional Partner. We build custom Webflow sites, migrate from WordPress, and operate Webflow CMS at scale for marketing organizations that need design ownership without engineering overhead.

Question 14

Does DoodleWeb build accessible (WCAG) websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every site ships against WCAG 2.2 AA (the current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) as a hard launch criterion. We also deliver Section 508, AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act), ADA Title II, and EN 301 549 (the European accessibility standard) compliance for higher education, healthcare, and government clients with documented audit trails.

Question 15

How does Site Sonar work?

Accepted Answer

Site Sonar is our AI visibility and lead capture tool. You drop a single JavaScript snippet into your site. It crawls your content, builds an LLM (large language model) index grounded only in your pages, and exposes three things: (1) a chat widget that answers visitor questions in your voice, (2) GEO (generative engine optimization) markup, llms.txt, structured data, and citation-shaped summaries, so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity can quote your pages accurately, and (3) an intent dashboard that captures visitor emails, questions, and visit history and pipes them into HubSpot, Salesforce, or your CRM.

Question 16

What is included in a DoodleWeb fixed-fee project?

Accepted Answer

Every fixed fee covers Discovery (audits, stakeholder interviews, content inventory), Strategy (information architecture, conversion model, success metrics), Design (Figma wireframes → hi-fi), Engineering (in-house build on your CMS of choice with pull-request review and CI/CD deploys), QA (accessibility audit against WCAG 2.2 AA, Lighthouse performance budgets, cross-browser testing), Content support and CMS training, Launch and a 30-day defect warranty. Hosting, third-party licenses, and copywriting beyond scope are itemized separately and disclosed up front.

Question 17

Who will I work with day-to-day at DoodleWeb?

Accepted Answer

The same senior team from kickoff to launch: one senior strategist, one senior designer, one senior engineer, and a QA/accessibility lead. No junior swap after the SOW is signed, no offshore handoff, no account manager relaying messages. You have direct Slack access to the practitioners doing the work, weekly written status updates, and Loom walkthroughs of every major deliverable.

Question 18

Can DoodleWeb help my brand get cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) program restructures content into Q&A patterns, ships FAQPage / Organization / Article schema per Schema.org guidelines, publishes llms.txt and llms-full.txt manifests, tunes information architecture for extractability, and submits to AI-crawler-friendly directories so engines extract and cite your brand. Initial citations typically appear within 30–60 days.

Question 19

How is DoodleWeb different from an AI visibility tool?

Accepted Answer

Tools such as Otterly, Peec and Profound report which prompts you are losing. DoodleWeb tracks the same prompts across seven surfaces, writes and publishes the fix to your CMS after your approval, and re-runs the prompts seven days later. See the full comparison.

Question 20

How do I start a project with DoodleWeb?

Accepted Answer

Book a 30-minute call from any page on the site or email info@doodleweb.io with a one-paragraph brief. You will speak with a senior strategist, not a sales rep, and receive a written scope and fixed-fee quote within two business days. The first call is always free.

Question 21

How do I contact DoodleWeb?

Accepted Answer

Email info@doodleweb.io, call +1-425-359-0168, or book a 30-minute consultation through any Calendly button on the site. Our office is in the Columbia Tower, 701 5th Ave, 42nd Floor, Seattle, WA 98104.

Question 22

What is DoodleWeb's project methodology?

Accepted Answer

Every engagement runs through five phases: Discovery (audits, stakeholder interviews, content inventory), Strategy (IA, conversion model, success metrics), Design (wireframes → hi-fi in Figma), Engineering (in-house build with PR review and CI/CD), and Launch & Grow (training, monitoring, optimization). Each phase has written deliverables and an explicit sign-off gate.

Question 23

Does DoodleWeb own the code and content it builds?

Accepted Answer

No, you do. Every line of code is delivered into your GitHub or Bitbucket. Every Figma file is shared to your workspace. Every CMS account is provisioned under your domain. We never gate handoff, and there are no proprietary plugins you can't take elsewhere.

Question 24

Can DoodleWeb work alongside our existing developers or marketing agency?

Accepted Answer

Yes. About a third of our engagements are co-delivery, we bring senior CMS, design, or AEO expertise alongside your in-house team or a partner agency. We adopt your tooling, Slack, and ticket conventions on day one.
