Frequently Asked Questions

Who does Cinéra House work with?

We partner with founders who view their website as a strategic asset — not just an online placeholder.
Most of our clients are service-based brands, creative entrepreneurs, and emerging luxury businesses ready for clarity, elevation, and intentional growth.
If you're building something thoughtful and refined, we're likely aligned.

Which package is right for me?

We offer five signature website experiences,
each designed for a different stage of growth:

• Ember — A strategic single-page presence
• Flicker — A 2–3 page structured website
• Ignition — A 5-page strategic activation built over two focused days
• Smolder — A custom 4–5 page website experience
• Residue — A 6–8 page advanced infrastructure build 

If you're unsure which experience aligns best, we’ll guide you during the inquiry process based on your offers, revenue stage, and long-term vision.

How long does the process take?

Ember: 7–10 days
 Flicker: 2–3 weeks
 Smolder: 3–4 weeks
 Residue: 5–6 weeks
If content or approvals are delayed, timelines adjust accordingly to protect build quality.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes.
A non-refundable retainer secures your project start date. Remaining payments are clearly structured in your agreement.
Design begins once the initial payment is received.

back

What platform do you build on?

Cinéra House builds on Showit with WordPress integration.
This allows for full design flexibility, clean structure, and long-term ownership.
We do not build on Wix, Squarespace, or Shopify.

back

Can my website sell products or services?

Yes. Because we build on Showit, your site can integrate with third-party payment platforms such as Stripe, ThriveCart, HoneyBook, Kajabi, or Shopify Lite (checkout-only option). Your website serves as the branded sales experience, while checkout is securely handled through the platform you choose. You are responsible for setting up your payment processor, products, and pricing, and we integrate it seamlessly during the build. Full-scale e-commerce storefronts with inventory and shipping management require a more advanced Shopify setup and fall outside our current scope.

We believe clarity builds confidence.

Is copywriting included?

Copy support depends on your selected package.
If you need full conversion copy development, we determine that before your project begins to ensure you’re fully supported.
We build from clarity — not placeholders.

back

How many revisions are included?

Each package includes a structured revision window to refine and polish your site while keeping the project moving efficiently.
Additional revision rounds beyond scope are billed separately.

back

Can I add more pages later?

Yes.
Additional pages are $1,500 per page and subject to scope approval.
We build foundations designed to grow — expansion is intentional.

back

Is SEO included?

Your site is built with proper technical structure and search-friendly formatting.
This includes:
• Clean page hierarchy
 • Metadata formatting
 • Mobile optimization
 • Search Console readiness
Cinéra House does not guarantee search engine rankings.
Visibility growth requires ongoing SEO strategy and content development, which are separate services.
We build the foundation correctly. Growth depends on sustained strategy.

back

What happens after launch?

You’ll receive a launch walkthrough, platform orientation, and access transfer confirmation.
Ongoing support is available through add-on services as needed.

back

Do you offer refunds?

All retainers are non-refundable, as project dates and resources are reserved specifically for your build.
Full details are outlined in your agreement.
