ADA Standards Accessibility

ADA Standards have been at the forefront of our web design process for over 5 years. It has become a major topic leading to many legal issues for small business owners. SMRWD has invested in professional testing software and training to ensure our work meets the latest standards for ADA accessibility. Our goal is to provide a good user experience for everyone, not just meet minimum requirements.

*We do not use or recommend third-party widgets as they are not a proven way to make a website accessible. All of our work is done through the actual code, ensuring compliance with the highest standards.

Legal Requirements Legal Documentation

Legal Documentation is now required on all sites. Privacy Policies explain to your visitors how you handle collected data (contact forms, analytics, memberships), while Terms & Conditions explain how your website should be used.

Depending on your site's functionality, you may need additional documentation. SMRWD now creates and installs the most basic required documentation for your website at no extra cost.

Some Of Our Work

Technical Questions

How is my website built?

We build 98% of our client's websites by hand. They are all hand-coded using the Bootstrap 5 framework—no templates, just a blank canvas. On request, we can also build using WordPress or Shopify.

Where are hand-coded websites hosted?

All of our hand-coded websites are hosted within our own private platform to ensure optimum performance, stability, and security.

What about SSL Security?

All of our websites are issued their own SSL Certificate by Sectigo, ensuring they are fully encrypted and secure.

What about ADA Compliance?

Our websites are designed with ADA compliance in mind from the backend code. We use professional testing software to ensure compliance. We avoid third-party "ADA widgets" as they are often ineffective and can actually cause compliance issues themselves.

How long does it take to create my website?

Generally, once a mockup is approved, the structure can be built in a day or two. The timeline is largely determined by how quickly we receive your final content (images and text).

Payment Questions

Still have questions? Get in touch with us here and we will get back to you shortly.

How do I make a payment?

We offer three convenient options for payments:

  • Online Invoice: Pay securely with any credit or debit card.
  • Venmo: We accept payments through the Venmo platform.
  • Zelle: We also accept payments directly through Zelle.
When do I have to pay?

We break our payment process into four simple stages:

  • Design: A $50 deposit is required to begin work on your website mockup.
  • Site-Build: An additional $50 is requested once the mockup design is approved to begin the development phase.
  • Mid-Build: We establish a delivery date for your content (images/text). If content is delayed, additional monthly deposits may be requested to hold your production slot.
  • Launch: We send an invoice for the remainder of the balance. Once paid in full, your site is scheduled for launch!
Why do I have to submit a deposit?

We ask for a deposit to safeguard our time and ensure you are fully invested in the project. It also allows us to prioritize your project and get started immediately.

Can we talk before I make a deposit?

Of course! We are always happy to answer questions. You can reach us via email at frank@smrwebsitedesign.com or by phone at 516-581-5862.

Are there any hidden costs associated?

None at all. We provide a fixed price for the entire project to help you stay within your budget. We also offer optional monthly retainers starting at $26.50/month to keep your site updated and functioning at full capacity.

Along with our core web design service, we provide a range of other options for your business including:

Rich Results JSON-LD

Rich results are experiences on Google surfaces, such as Search, that go beyond the standard blue link. Rich results can include carousels, images, or other non-textual elements.
