Design & Quality

What We Design and Check

We plan what visitors need to find, what they need to do, and how to test the agreed pages before launch.

The Problem

Visitors need to understand your services

Customers need to know what you do and whether it fits their needs.

Our Engineering Approach

Service Clarity

We organize pages around what customers need to know before they contact you.

The Problem

Important information is hard to find

Services, prices where relevant, and contact options need clear places in the site.

Our Engineering Approach

Clear Navigation

We plan navigation around how visitors find the information they need.

The Problem

The site needs to work on smaller screens

Menus, buttons, and forms can be harder to use on mobile.

Our Engineering Approach

Mobile Usability

We check how agreed pages read and how navigation and forms behave on smaller screens.

The Problem

Images and scripts affect the experience

Loading behavior and clear page structure matter to visitors and search engines.

Our Engineering Approach

Performance & Search Foundations

We consider image sizes, scripts, page structure, and metadata during development.

The Problem

Customers need a clear next step

Visitors should know how to get in touch when they are ready.

Our Engineering Approach

Inquiry Paths

We place relevant actions where customers make decisions and test agreed forms and routing.

Have a question about your project? Email us directly at hello@creativeamba.com.

What does a website project cost?

The listed prices are starting points for defined scopes. The number of pages, required features, and integrations affect the cost. Your written proposal confirms the scope, timing, and total price before work begins.

How long does a website project take?

A Starter Website is estimated at 2 to 3 weeks, a Growth Business Website at 3 to 4 weeks, and Advanced eCommerce & Custom at 4 to 6 weeks. Your proposal sets out the schedule and review milestones for your project.

Can we update the site ourselves?

Tell us what your team needs to update or publish. We’ll agree whether the project includes a content management system and which pages or content it covers.

What happens to search visibility during a redesign?

We review existing URLs and content, plan redirects where URLs change, and check key pages at launch. These steps help manage migration risk. Search rankings and traffic can still fluctuate.

Who supplies website copy and images?

We agree who supplies, writes, and approves the copy and images before work begins. Copywriting, content migration, editing setup, and training are included when specified in the written scope.

Who owns the website and what do we receive at handover?

You retain ownership of your domain, paid-for content, and agreed project deliverables, subject to the written agreement. Final deliverable handover and source-code transfer take place after final payment. Third-party software and services remain subject to their own licenses and terms.

How do hosting and support work after launch?

With client-managed hosting, you own the hosting and domain accounts, and AMBA Creative handles the agreed setup, deployment, and handover. With fully managed hosting, AMBA Creative manages hosting and technical maintenance under a separate recurring service agreement. You retain ownership of your domain. Applicable website and application builds include 30 days of post-launch defect correction for issues attributable to our delivered work within the agreed scope. This coverage excludes new features, content changes, third-party service failures, and ongoing maintenance. Optional maintenance is agreed separately.

How are payments arranged?

Every project begins with an approved written proposal covering scope, deliverables, timing, and total price. A 50% deposit is due after written approval and before work begins. The remaining 50% is due after approval of the agreed deliverables and before final deployment or handover, unless the written agreement specifies otherwise. You can pay by PayPal or bank transfer. We issue invoices and payment instructions directly. The website does not collect payments. You are responsible for charges from your bank or intermediary banks where applicable and permitted. We account for our payment-processing costs in the agreed quotation, subject to PayPal rules and applicable law. We do not add a PayPal surcharge.

How many design revisions are included?

During visual design, we provide up to two comprehensive rounds of revisions on wireframes and prototypes before production code is written.
