FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)


Q. Why choose Maikai Designs?
A. Maikai Designs offers a wide array of services to accommodate all of your Internet needs and will take full responsibility of your site from beginning to end. Our goal at Maikai Designs is to help you establish a successful web presence and to make it as stress-free for you as possible. Unlike other companies, we can offer you a full turn-key solution to establishing a website. We will design, place, host, manage, and maintain your web presence so you can focus on your business.

Q. What is web presence?
A. Web presence is more than just having a website. It includes a professional website, full hosting, and a domain name that is easy for your customers to remember because YOU choose it. All of our hosting includes an email account (multiple accounts are available) or if you prefer to use your existing email account, you can have email forwarded to it. We can also provide custom tools to match your business that your customers can benefit from! (back to top)

Q. Establishing web presence sounds expensive, how much do you charge?
A. Our prices are extremely competitive. There are two fees associated with our services. There is an initial up-front fee for the website design and hosting setup and then a low monthly cost for hosting, maintenance, and upkeep of your site.

The initial up front fee can range from $699 to $1299+. This fee will vary greatly depending on the complexity of the design and could be less or more than the range we have given depending on the size of the project. Be assured that we will provide ALL costs up front so you know what you're getting into and we will never surprise you with any hidden costs.

Because we have our own hosting, our monthly fees are surprisingly low and average $25 to $50 a month. These fees are extremely low for this type of service, yet you gain the benefits of your site being hosted at a world-class Data Center in Los Angeles, email accounts/forwarders, maintenance of your website, and a generous bandwidth allowing for several thousands of visitors per month. Again, we will provide what this fee will be up front so you can make an informed decision prior to signing on with us.

If you think about it, having a web presence is probably cheaper per month than having a listing in the yellow pages or the cost you pay for your cellular phone bill, yet you have potential to reach countless more people.

We also offer custom packages to fit your needs exactly. These packages have their own pricing structure. (back to top)


Q. All of this sounds good, but it seems so complicated! Where do I start, what do I have to know?
A. We're here to make it easy for you. To start with, let us know what you're interested in. What kind of business do you have? What sort of services would you like? If you're not sure what you want, give us some very general ideas and we can offer suggestions or solutions based on our years of experience in designing professional websites. (back to top)

Q. Will I have to pay for every update to my website?
A. If you purchase one of our packages (web design + hosting) your monthly fee includes 1 hour worth of maintenance and updates per month. This pertains only to content changes and does not apply to structural or design changes. Most minor content updates take around 15-30 minutes per job. On average, a web designer will charge upwards of $100+ an hour, so receiving 1 hour of updates per month is a $100+ value that you receive FREE with your package. We will never go over the allotted hour without contacting you first. This allotted hour (or fraction of the hour) cannot be accrued to be used for a later month.

Feel free to use our contact form to send us the address of your website and tell us what needs fixing, and we will reply with a quote. (back to top)

Q. I want you to design a website for me, but I already have my own hosting, is this possible?
A. We would be happy to design a website for you and can offer you a quote for just this service without any hosting. (back to top)

Q. I already have a website but want a hosting provider, is this possible?
A. Yes, we can offer you hosting services. Let us know what you want and we can provide you a quote for a cost per month with NO setup fee. (back to top)

Q. I would like to get a quote or do business with you but I don't want to be spammed, what is your policy on this?
A. The easiest way to lose business is to spam potential or existing clients. If you would like a quote, we will be happy to provide it. If you choose to not do business with us, we will not email you at any point after that.

For our existing clients, we do not work with any third party companies and will never sell or provide your email address to anyone outside of Maikai Designs. (back to top)

Q. Do you offer your services outside of Hawaii?
A. Absolutely. (back to top)
