What industries do you specialise in?
At Summit 7 Marketing, we are not industry-specific. We have already worked with clients in a wide variety of sectors, including retail, software, professional services, manufacturing, education, wine farms and clothing – to name a few. Our approach is simple: No matter your industry, we focus on understanding your business and crafting solutions that resonate with your target audience.
Can I choose just one service, like website design, social media marketing or branding?
Absolutely. While many clients benefit from our integrated packages, we also offer standalone services. Whether you need a new website, a refreshed brand identity, or help with a specific campaign, we are happy to assist with individual projects.
How long does it take to build a website?
The timeline depends on the scope and complexity of your website. A basic website may take 4 to 6 weeks, while more complex projects with custom features or eCommerce functionality can take much longer. We provide a clear project timeline after our detailed scoping and keep you updated throughout the process.
Do you offer custom website design or use templates?
We specialise in custom website design that reflects your brand’s identity and goals. While templates can be used for budget-conscious projects, our focus is on creating unique, professional websites that stand out and perform well.
Will my website be mobile-friendly and SEO-ready?
Yes. Every website we build is responsive, meaning it works seamlessly across desktops, tablets, and smartphones. We also implement foundational SEO best practices to help your website rank better on search engines and attract organic traffic.
Can I update my website myself once it’s built?
Yes, you can. But also keep in mind that you will not let an unqualified or inexperienced person work on your car… We build websites on user-friendly platforms like WordPress, which allow you to make updates without needing highly technical skills. Should you want to work on your own website after completion, we strongly suggest some training on how to navigate the backend of the website and how to make the necessary changes. For larger changes, you can count on our support to make those changes on your behalf.
Do you offer website maintenance and support?
We do. Our maintenance packages include regular updates, backups, performance monitoring, and security checks. This ensures your website stays fast, secure, and up to date, giving you peace of mind while you focus on your business.
Which eCommerce platforms do you work with?
We primarily work with WooCommerce and Shopify, two of the most popular and flexible eCommerce platforms available. Depending on your needs, we can recommend the best fit and customise it to suit your business.
Can you integrate payment gateways and delivery options?
Yes. We handle full integration of payment gateways, as well as delivery and shipping options tailored to your business model. Our goal is to make the buying process smooth and secure for your customers.
Do you offer training on managing my online store?
We do. Once your store is live, we provide training sessions and documentation to help you manage products, process orders, and handle customer queries. We want you to feel empowered to run your store confidently.
What if I already have a store - can you improve or migrate it?
Definitely. We can assess your current store, identify areas for improvement, and either enhance its functionality or migrate it to a more suitable platform. Our aim is to help you get the most out of your online presence.

What is your pricing structure?
Our pricing is based on the scope and complexity of your project. We offer both fixed quotes for once-off projects and monthly retainers for ongoing services. All quotes are transparent and tailored to your specific needs. We billed on an hour-based model based on the scope of work required.
Do you offer once-off projects or only monthly retainers?
We offer both. Whether you need a once-off website build, a branding refresh, or ongoing digital marketing support, we will structure a solution that works for you.
