Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with K9 Web Design. Can't find what you're looking for? Just ask us.

Getting Started

Is there really no setup fee?
None at all. Your first month is completely free and there is no setup cost. We absorb the build cost because we are confident you will stay once you see the results.
How does the first month free work?
When you sign up, your subscription does not begin until 30 days after your website goes live. You get a fully built, live website with no payment required for the first month. After that, your monthly plan starts automatically.
Do I need a domain name already?
No. If you already have a domain, we will transfer or point it to your new site. If you do not have one yet, we can advise on registering one. Domain registration costs are separate and paid directly to the registrar.
What types of pet businesses do you work with?
We specialise exclusively in dog groomers, dog walkers, and pet sitters. This focus means we understand your clients, your services, and exactly what makes a pet business website convert.

Pricing & Billing

What if I want to cancel?
Cancel anytime from your dashboard. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees. We keep things simple because we believe our work speaks for itself.
Can I change plans after signing up?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from your client dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at your next billing date.
How does billing work?
After your free first month, you are billed monthly by card via Stripe. You will receive an email receipt each month. You can update your payment details anytime from your dashboard.
Do you offer refunds?
Because your first month is free and there are no setup fees, we do not offer refunds on monthly subscription payments. If you have a billing concern, get in touch and we will sort it out.

The Build Process

How long does it take to build my website?
Most websites are live within 5 to 7 business days from when you send us your content and photos. Some are done even faster. The biggest delay is usually waiting on content from the client.
What information do I need to provide?
After signing up you will receive a simple onboarding form. We ask for your business name, services, prices, contact details, service area, and any photos. That is all we need to get started.
Do I need to provide my own photos?
Ideally yes. Real photos of your business, your work, and your team always perform better than stock photos. But we can help source appropriate imagery if needed.
How many revisions do I get?
We do not cap revisions during the build. We work with you until you are happy with the result. Once live, you can make content changes yourself via your dashboard, or contact us for design changes.

Managing Your Website

Can I update my own website?
Yes. Every plan includes a simple dashboard where you can update your business details, services, prices, and photos. You cannot break the design — we handle all the technical bits.
What if I need design changes made?
Raise a support ticket from your dashboard. Minor changes are included in your plan. Larger structural changes are quoted on a case-by-case basis.
What happens if my Lighthouse score drops?
We monitor every client site monthly. If anything drops below 100, we investigate and fix it at no extra cost. That is our guarantee.

Technical

What is Lighthouse and why does it matter?
Lighthouse is Google's official tool for measuring website quality. It scores your site across Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO — each out of 100. A perfect 100/100 score means your site loads fast, is easy to use, and is fully optimised for Google rankings. Most websites score 40–70. Ours score 100.
Is hosting included?
Yes. All plans include fast UK hosting and an SSL certificate. There are no separate hosting fees, control panel fees, or renewal surprises.
Do I keep my domain if I cancel?
Yes. Your domain belongs to you. If you registered it yourself, it stays yours. If we helped you register it, we will transfer control to you. We do not hold domains hostage.
Do you work with businesses outside the UK?
Yes. While we are based in the UK, we work with pet businesses internationally. We offer pricing in GBP, USD, and EUR. Get in touch and we can discuss your needs.
I already have a website. Can you migrate it?
We build fresh rather than migrate. This ensures you get a clean, fast site with perfect scores. We will handle transferring your content and domain — you do not need to do anything technical.
