Frequently asked questions
Website questions, answered before you buy.
If something is not answered here, ask us directly — the contact page goes to a person, not a queue.
The service
- What does Xovah do?
- We build professional business websites and provide optional services alongside them: online booking, review management, local SEO and digital menus. You choose what you need at checkout and pay for nothing else.
- Who is it for?
- Local businesses and tradespeople who need a proper website and do not want to become the person who runs it. Salons, plumbers, dentists, restaurants, valeting, electricians — anyone whose customers look them up before they call.
- What is the difference between the two websites?
- The Custom Website (€79.99 one-time) is built around features you pick, with three as the minimum, up to twenty. The Full Website (€249.99 one-time) is the complete build with all 34 sections and features included and nothing to choose. Both websites take the same optional add-ons.
- Do I need an account?
- No. There is nothing to sign up for and no password to remember. You send a request, we reply by email, and the whole build is handled in that thread — the state of the work, the content you send us, the site to review and the figure to approve.
Paying
- Do I pay anything to start?
- No. Nothing is charged when you order or while we build. You pay the one-time price once, when your finished website is ready to go live.
- When do I pay?
- When the website is finished and you have reviewed it. You pay the full one-time price in one go, and the site goes live once the payment clears. We never take it automatically while you are still looking at the site.
- Is payment secure?
- Payments are processed through our payment provider. Xovah does not store your full card details — card number, expiry and security code go straight to the provider, and we receive a reference, an amount and a status.
- No card details are entered on this site at all. We agree the price with you first, then invoice you directly.
- Are there any other costs?
- No. The one-time total covers the website and any one-time add-ons you selected. Hosting, SSL and domain management are part of the build.
- Can I see the website before paying?
- Yes — that is the whole point of the order. You get the completed website to review, and the payment only becomes due once you are happy with it.
The build
- How long does the website take?
- 5–7 days after we receive everything needed to build it. That is a target we work to, not an unconditional guarantee — and the clock starts when the last piece of content arrives.
- What do you need from me?
- Logo, photos, business information, services and prices, opening hours, contact details, social links, and any specific text you want used. There is a form that walks through all of it.
- What if I am slow sending things?
- Nothing bad happens and nothing costs more — the delivery date simply moves out by however long it takes. We will tell you what is still outstanding rather than waiting quietly.
- What if I do not like it?
- Tell us what is wrong and we fix it. Getting the site to match what you asked for is part of the build, not a paid change. If you decide not to go ahead at all, the site does not go live and nothing is charged.
Changes after launch
- Can I request changes after launch?
- Yes. Email us the change and we quote it individually, so you know the cost before anything starts.
- What counts as a website change?
- Updating text, replacing photos, changing prices, adding or editing services, changing opening hours, correcting business information — the everyday updates a working business needs.
- What about bigger changes?
- Major redesigns, new functionality, complex custom development, advanced integrations, large e-commerce builds and new pages beyond the agreed scope. These are quoted as their own project so you always know the cost before anything starts.
Business Extras
- Are Business Extras required?
- No. They are completely optional. You can purchase only the website, or choose the additional services your business actually needs.
- Can I add extras after ordering my website?
- Yes, where available. Ask us for the extra you want and we add it to the project, at the price on the extras page.
- Can I order just a logo without a website?
- Not at the moment. Business Extras are currently sold as add-ons alongside a website build rather than as standalone purchases. If you want something on its own, ask us on the contact page and we will tell you what is possible.
- What is included in the Brand Kit?
- Your logo, brand colours, fonts and basic brand guidelines — €79.99 one-time.
- How much is a Promo Video?
- Promo Videos start at €49.99. The final price depends on the length and complexity of the video, and we confirm the figure with you in writing before anything is charged.
- How much are AI Business Photos?
- Packages start at €30. The final price depends on the number and complexity of the images. These are AI-assisted images, not photographs of your actual products, unless you supply source material we can work from.
- What does the Business Email Setup include?
- The €29.99 covers the setup work: domain records, mailbox configuration and getting it working on your devices. If your email provider charges a monthly fee for the mailbox itself, that is paid to them and is not included in our fee.
- Will the Google Review QR Card get me good reviews?
- It makes leaving a review easier — customers scan the card and land straight on your review page. What they write is entirely up to them.
- Can I remove an extra before paying?
- Yes. Add and remove extras freely at checkout — the order total updates immediately, and nothing is charged until your site is ready to go live.
Ownership & leaving
- Do I own my domain?
- If you brought your own domain, it stays yours — you are the registrant and nothing about that changes.
- If we register one for you, we tell you before registration whose name it goes in. Where it is in your name you own it and can take it with you. Where it is in ours as part of a managed service, you can ask us to transfer it to you, subject to registrar rules, any transfer or renewal costs, and your account being settled.
- Do I own the website?
- You own the content you gave us and the specific pages, copy and design produced for your business. What stays with us is the managed project: the hosting, the deployment setup, and the reusable components and tooling we use across customers.
- We are not going to pretend published pages are somehow locked. Anything served to a browser — the markup, styles and scripts of your live site — can be viewed and copied by anyone who visits it. That is how the web works. What we control is the official project and the infrastructure that runs it.
- Can I take my website somewhere else?
- Yes. If you have bought an explicit source-code transfer option, we hand over the agreed files once the applicable payment and requirements are complete. If you have not, ask and we will quote for an offboarding export. Either way you are not held hostage.
Account, data & support
- How do I get help?
- Through the contact page, which reaches the same two people. If you have not started a project yet, send a project request and say what you are unsure about — nothing is charged and nothing is committed by asking. A person reads every one and answers, usually the same day.
- Do you sell my information?
- No. We do not sell your information and we do not share it for anyone else's advertising. It goes to the providers we need to run the service — payment processing, hosting, email delivery, domain registration — and nowhere else. They are listed in the Privacy Policy.
- Will you email me marketing?
- Only if you ask. Buying a website does not opt you in, and we do not add anyone to a list for having been a customer. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link, and messages about your build and your payments are separate from it.
- What happens to my data if I leave?
- Your website content is kept for a short window after cancellation so it can be restored or exported if you ask, then removed. Invoices and payment records are kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires. You can ask for a copy of your information, or ask us to delete what we are not legally required to keep — see the Privacy Policy.
- Does the site use tracking cookies?
- No. There is no analytics, advertising or tracking on this site — only a cookie that remembers your consent choice and the storage that keeps you signed in. The Cookie Policy lists both in full.
Still not sure?
Ask before you buy. We would rather answer a question now than have you order the wrong thing.
