Common Questions

Things people usually ask
before reaching out.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes — projects typically require 50% upfront to reserve your spot and cover initial work. The remainder is due at launch.

How long does a build take?

Starter sites typically take 2–3 weeks. Growth projects run 4–6 weeks. Premium timelines are scoped per project during our initial conversation.

What if I need something in between tiers?

These tiers are starting points, not boxes. Every quote is customized. If your project doesn't fit neatly, we'll scope it together.

Do you work with clients outside Illinois?

Absolutely. The Digital Oak is based in Freeport, IL, but works with clients across the US. Everything runs remote without missing a beat.

What platforms do you build on?

Custom-coded HTML/CSS/JS, Wix Classic, Wix Studio, and Shopify. Platform selection is part of the strategy conversation — you get the right tool, not just the one I prefer.

What happens after my site launches?

Every project includes post-launch support. After that window, you can move to a monthly retainer or book hourly work as needed. You're never left hanging.
