Question 1

Can I get a professional website built for a one-time fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BuiltToWinWeb charges a single flat fee — no monthly subscriptions, no platform fees, no renewals. Business websites start at $1,750, ecommerce at $5,600, and SaaS/web applications at $10,000. You pay once and own the code outright forever.

Question 2

How much does a custom PHP website cost?

Accepted Answer

BuiltToWinWeb offers three flat-fee packages: Business Pro Website at $1,750, Ecommerce Website at $5,600, and SaaS/Web Application at $10,000. All are one-time payments with no monthly fees.

Question 3

Why does a custom PHP website outrank WordPress?

Accepted Answer

WordPress loads an average of 847KB of JavaScript before your content is visible. Custom PHP serves only what is needed, achieving LCP scores under 1 second compared to WordPress averages of 3.8 seconds, which directly improves Google rankings.

Question 4

How do I improve my Google Lighthouse score?

Accepted Answer

Google Lighthouse scores are improved by reducing render-blocking scripts, inlining critical CSS, lazy-loading below-fold images, and minimizing unused JavaScript. Custom PHP websites built by BuiltToWinWeb achieve 96–100 Lighthouse scores because they load zero plugin bloat — only the exact code your site needs.

Question 5

Is a custom website better than Shopify for ecommerce?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A custom PHP ecommerce store eliminates Shopify's monthly fees (up to $299/month plus 2.6% transaction fees), loads significantly faster, and you own the code outright. Custom stores built with PHP and Stripe achieve Lighthouse 100 scores and load in under 0.6 seconds compared to Shopify's average 1.9 seconds.

Question 6

What is the best website platform for a law firm?

Accepted Answer

For law firms, a custom PHP website outperforms WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace because it achieves faster load times (a Google ranking signal), better LocalBusiness schema markup, and is built specifically for attorney SEO with city-specific landing pages and optimized Google Business Profile integration.

Question 7

Do you build HIPAA-friendly healthcare websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build custom PHP websites for medical clinics, dental practices, and healthcare providers. Custom code allows for HIPAA-friendly contact forms, no third-party data leakage from WordPress plugins, SSL enforced across all pages, and clean structured data for healthcare provider schema.

Question 8

What questions should I ask before hiring a web developer?

Accepted Answer

Ask: (1) Do I own the code and hosting after delivery? (2) What Lighthouse score do you guarantee? (3) Do you implement structured data and schema markup? (4) How do you handle 301 redirects during migration? (5) What is included in the flat fee vs what costs extra? BuiltToWinWeb answers all five favorably — flat fee, 100% code ownership, Lighthouse 100 guaranteed, full schema implementation, and full migration support included.

Question 9

How long does it take to build a custom website?

Accepted Answer

Business websites are delivered within one month for complex custom builds. Ecommerce and SaaS projects are scoped individually.

Question 10

Do you migrate WordPress sites to custom PHP?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We audit every URL, implement 301 redirects, preserve all meta data, and resubmit your sitemap so you keep your rankings through the transition. TTFB typically improves by 70% after migration.

Question 11

What is included in the flat fee?

Accepted Answer

Every package includes full deployment, SSL setup, mobile-responsive design, W3C certified HTML, social media integration, search engine submission, and 100% code ownership. No monthly platform fees ever.

Question 12

Do you build ecommerce stores without Shopify?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build fully custom ecommerce stores with PHP, MySQL, and Stripe or PayPal. No Shopify subscription fees, no WooCommerce plugin conflicts. You own the code outright.

Question 13

Is a custom website better than Wix or Squarespace for SEO?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wix and Squarespace generate bloated HTML with third-party scripts that slow load times to 3–4 seconds. Custom PHP websites serve clean, minimal code achieving LCP under 0.8 seconds — directly boosting Google rankings, especially for competitive local searches.

Question 14

What makes a website load fast on Google?

Accepted Answer

Fast websites eliminate render-blocking scripts, inline only above-the-fold CSS, use next-gen image formats (WebP), add server-side caching, and remove unused JavaScript. WordPress and page builders load 10–22 unnecessary scripts on every page. Custom PHP serves only what the page needs, achieving sub-1 second LCP scores.

Question 15

Why does WordPress hurt your SEO?

Accepted Answer

WordPress loads an average of 22 plugin stylesheets, 14 render-blocking scripts, and 6 external font requests on every page load, resulting in LCP scores averaging 3.8 seconds. Google's Core Web Vitals algorithm penalizes slow pages. Custom PHP eliminates all of this, achieving LCP under 0.8 seconds and Lighthouse 100 scores that outrank WordPress sites in competitive searches.
