## Frequently asked questions

- Do you design websites from scratch or use templates? Every website we make is designed from scratch around your business, your brand and your customers. We start with a blank page, plan the structure and content, then design each page for desktop and mobile before anything is built.
- How long does a new website take? Most projects complete within three to six months, from the first conversation to launch day. Smaller websites can be quicker.
- How much does a website cost? Every website is different, so we quote each project individually once we understand what you need. The main factors are the number of pages, how much content and photography we create, and any special features such as bookings, integrations or client portals.
- Will I be able to update the website myself? Yes. We set your website up with an easy editor and train your team before launch, with video guides and a live session, so you can change text, images and news without calling a developer.
- Do you host and look after the website once it’s live? Yes. We offer fully managed hosting and ongoing care: secure backups, updates, security monitoring, performance checks, and help with your domain and email settings. You can also come to us for new pages and improvements whenever you need them.
- Will my website work well on phones and be found on Google? Yes. Every site is designed for mobile first, built to load fast and meet accessibility standards, and set up with the technical foundations search engines need: clean structure, page titles and descriptions, structured data and a sitemap.
- What is AI SEO and why does it matter for UK businesses? AI SEO is the work of making your business easy for AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews to understand, trust and recommend. Instead of chasing a position in a list of links, the goal is to be one of the names an AI suggests when someone asks for help in your area.
- Can my business appear in ChatGPT search results? Yes. ChatGPT and similar tools build their answers from information they can find and verify across the web, including your website, directories, reviews, news coverage and industry sources. The clearer and more consistent your information is across those places, the more likely you are to be mentioned.
- Is AI SEO different from traditional SEO? They share the same foundations: a fast, well-built website, useful content and a strong reputation. The difference is the goal. Traditional SEO aims to rank a page in Google’s list of results. AI SEO aims to get your business named and cited inside an AI-generated answer.
- Do I need a new website for AI optimisation? Not necessarily. Many websites can be improved with better structure, clearer service pages, structured data and stronger content, without starting again.
- What does “AI-optimised website” actually mean? It’s a website built so that both people and machines can understand it quickly and accurately. In practice that means clear pages for each service, plain-language answers to common questions, consistent business details, structured data (schema) that labels key information, fast loading and a clean technical setup.
- How long does AI SEO take to work? Improvements typically begin to show within 8 to 16 weeks, depending on your current authority, the state of your website and how competitive your sector is.
- Which industries benefit most from AI SEO? Any business where clients research carefully before choosing, and where trust decides the outcome. That includes law firms and chambers, accountants and financial advisers, private clinics and healthcare practices, schools and education providers, property and construction firms, and specialist B2B services.
- Why work with Altius Digital? We take your website from a blank page to launch day and beyond: planning, design, build, hosting and care, all with one small senior team. Our experience in digital, AI and technical infrastructure goes back to 2013.
