Your site should feel like your business, not a generic template. GoLive maps your customer path first, then builds the design, content, forms, and launch details around what customers need to do.

Ownership mindset

Whenever possible, your domain, hosting, email, payment tools, Google profile, and business accounts stay under your business. GoLive helps set up and connect the pieces without trapping the owner.

Common questions

What small businesses usually ask.

How fast can a site launch?

Many first builds can be ready for review in a few days when the business has a clear offer, basic photos, logo/brand direction, and fast feedback. More custom logic, retail checkout, or content gaps can extend the timeline.

What do I need before starting?

Helpful items include your business name, service area, logo if available, photos, social links, a simple description of what you sell, pricing/menu details, and what customers should do next.

Do you use templates?

GoLive may reuse proven structure, but the public-facing build should be shaped around the actual business, offer, customer path, and brand feel. The goal is not a copy-paste site.

Can you build order forms or quote forms?

Yes. Request forms, quote forms, intake flows, booking-style forms, menu inquiries, and product request flows are a core part of the GoLive offer.

Can you build a real retail checkout?

Yes, when it is connected to the owner’s selling system. GoLive builds the branded customer experience and connects checkout paths using Stripe, Square, Shopify, or payment links. Those platforms handle payment processing, receipts, taxes, and order records.

Can GoLive manage inventory or POS?

For retail, the safest setup is to make Shopify, Square, Stripe/payment links, or another chosen platform the source of truth. GoLive can guide setup, connect the site, and scope inventory feed work when needed.

What is inventory feed integration?

For businesses with changing stock, a feed might come from a CSV file, XML file, supplier export, POS export, Google Sheet, or API. GoLive can scope an importer layer to review fields, map products, update stock/status, and report errors.

Do you write all the copy?

GoLive can draft and organize copy, but the business owner still needs to confirm accuracy: prices, policies, service areas, business rules, disclaimers, and anything customers rely on before buying or booking.

What happens after launch?

The standard launch approach includes a 30-day support window for testing, reasonable fixes, questions, and handoff help. Monthly support can be scoped for ongoing updates, seasonal content, new offers, and local visibility improvements.

Do you handle legal, tax, or compliance wording?

No. GoLive can place owner-provided policies, disclaimers, and terms on the site, but legal, tax, food rules, privacy, SMS/email consent, and regulated industry requirements should be reviewed by the business owner or qualified advisor.
