## Answers

- **What is DeftPath?** DeftPath is a web, AI and engineering studio. For small businesses we build custom websites, AI receptionists and automations, and show you a working preview of your new website before you pay anything. For software teams we build MCP servers and AI apps, custom CRMs, security audits, cloud cost fixes and AI code cleanups.
- **Do I pay before I see anything?** No. We build a working preview of your new website first. You only pay once you have seen it and want to launch it.
- **How much does a website cost?** A custom website is $2,499, one-time and fixed. Optional Site Care — hosting, backups, security and change requests handled one at a time — is $49/month, or $79/month with an AI receptionist that answers your visitors 24/7. It cancels any time.
- **How fast can my new website go live?** Your first preview is ready within 48 hours of us having your details. Once you approve it, we connect your domain and launch — usually the same week.
- **Do I own my website?** Yes, completely. The code, design, domain and analytics are yours. If you ever want to move to another host or developer, you can.
- **Will my site show up on Google and in AI answers?** Yes. Every DeftPath site ships with semantic markup, metadata, a sitemap, schema.org structured data and fast Core Web Vitals, so both search engines and AI answer engines can understand it.
- **Do you offer refunds?** Yes. There is a 14-day money-back guarantee on the one-time build fee. If the site is not what you wanted and we cannot make it right, you get a full refund within fourteen days of launch.
- **Do you only work with small businesses?** No. Websites and growth systems are built for owner-led businesses, but our engineering work — MCP servers and AI apps, custom CRMs, security audits, cloud cost fixes and AI code cleanups — is for any team that ships software, from two-person startups to established product teams.
