FAQ
Common questions, straight answers.
- How much does a custom website cost in South Dakota?
- Most marketing websites we build range from $5,000 to $25,000 depending on scope, integrations, and content. Custom web applications typically start at $20,000. Every project gets a fixed proposal after a free 15-minute consult, with no hidden hourly billing.
- How long does a project take?
- A focused marketing site ships in 4–8 weeks. Custom business applications run 8–20+ weeks depending on complexity. You see working previews every week, not a black-box reveal at the end.
- Do I own the code, the domain, and the data?
- Yes, completely. Your code lives in your repository, your domain stays in your registrar, your data is yours to export at any time. We don't lock clients into proprietary platforms.
- Do you offer ongoing hosting and maintenance?
- Yes. Managed hosting plans cover monitoring, security patching, dependency updates, daily backups, and an SLA on response time. Optional but recommended for production sites.
- Are you based in South Dakota?
- Yes. We're based in Madison, SD and serve clients across Sioux Falls, Brookings, Rapid City, and nationwide. Local accountability with no offshore handoffs.
- Do you optimize websites for AI search engines?
- Yes. We implement Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) on every marketing site we build. By structuring your data with strict semantic HTML and advanced schema markup, we ensure AI models can instantly read, understand, and recommend your business over competitors who are still relying on outdated SEO tactics.
- What makes Great Plains Web Works different?
- We don't just build for clients. We own and operate MaintIQ, a production SaaS platform. That means you're hiring people who run real software at scale, not a brochure-site shop.
