FAQ

That depends on the project. I build with WordPress and Shopify, among other platforms, and use other CMS solutions for custom projects. The important point is that the technology fits what the website needs to do, remains maintainable and lets you manage the content easily. The quotation clearly states which solution will be used for your project.

Better Google rankings usually come from a combination of technical SEO, useful content, a clear website structure and relevant local optimization. I review search intent, page content, technical setup and internal structure and improve them where needed. A specific Google position cannot be guaranteed because competition and Google's algorithm also affect rankings.

SEO takes time and there is no fixed timeline that applies to every website. Initial changes may become visible within a few months, while sustained growth often takes longer. The speed depends on factors such as competition, the website's current condition and authority, its technical setup and the amount of relevant content.

Local SEO helps businesses get found by people searching for their services in a specific town or region, for example 'web designer Benidorm' or 'website design Altea'. I look at areas such as your Google Business Profile, consistent business information, local page content and the technical discoverability of your website.

GEO, or Generative Engine Optimization, means optimizing content so AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can better understand what your business is about and when your information is relevant. This can increase the chance that your website or business is mentioned, cited or used as a source. A mention can never be guaranteed because each AI system decides which sources it uses.

SEO focuses on visibility in search engines such as Google. GEO also focuses on how AI systems can understand and use your content in their answers. The foundations overlap: clear content, good structure, relevant topics, reliable information and strong technical discoverability. I therefore combine SEO and GEO where it makes sense.

There is no fixed timeline. After changes are made, search engines and AI systems first need to process the updated content. How quickly a difference becomes visible depends on factors such as the existing website, competition, the topic and how often sources are revisited. I therefore evaluate GEO based on development over time, not on a guaranteed timeframe or guaranteed mention.

Yes. I offer maintenance and hosting packages for regular technical maintenance, updates and support. If your website has technical problems, has been hacked or your previous developer is no longer available, I can first investigate the issue and explain what is needed to resolve it. Emergency work depends on the issue and my availability.

I work from La Nucía with businesses on the Costa Blanca, in the Netherlands and in other countries. Much of my work can be done fully remotely. For local projects on the Costa Blanca, the content and online visibility can be tailored to the area where the business operates, such as Benidorm, Altea, Finestrat, Jávea/Xàbia, Alicante and surrounding locations.

Starter Website, Business Website, Professional and Starter E-commerce are paid 100% in advance. For larger custom projects, payment in instalments can be agreed. The payment terms are then set out in the quotation in advance. All listed prices exclude VAT unless stated otherwise.

AI can help write or organise information. Automation completes a repeated task automatically. For example, someone fills out your contact form, receives a confirmation and you get an alert. You remain in control of the information and messages used.

Common examples include confirmation emails after an enquiry, reminders, gathering form details in one place and preparing website copy. What is possible depends on the software you use.

No. Just explain which task you repeatedly perform and which software you use. I will assess whether it can be simplified, explain your options clearly and agree on costs beforehand.

It depends on the task, the number of steps and the software involved. You receive a clear explanation of the work, the costs and any separate subscriptions before setup. Nothing is configured without your approval.

Yes. CostaWaveWeb supports businesses on the Costa Blanca, including La Nucía, Altea, Benidorm, Calpe and surrounding areas. Support can also be provided remotely. I start by reviewing your existing workflow and software.

I check one website's HTTPS, known software vulnerabilities, access permissions, security settings and backups, where accessible. You receive a clear report. A full penetration test is not included.

These are business email authentication settings. SPF lists authorised sending servers, DKIM uses digital signatures, and DMARC tells receiving mail servers how to handle messages that fail the authentication policy. Together, they help limit misuse of your domain name.

I first identify the services that send your email, then make changes carefully and test the results. I configure DMARC gradually because a policy that is too strict can block legitimate messages. Problems cannot be ruled out completely.

An Email & Domain Check costs €125 excluding VAT. A Website Security Check costs €225 excluding VAT. Checking one website and one domain together costs €315 excluding VAT. Fixing discovered issues is included only when explicitly agreed.

No. Do not send passwords with your enquiry. If access is required, we agree how temporary access can be provided securely. Temporary permissions can be revoked after the work.
