How much does a website cost for a small business?

Pricing depends on the project scope because every business needs different pages, features, content, booking flows, reservation tools, integrations, and SEO work. Small focused services can start at $50 USD, and full website projects are quoted after a discovery conversation so business owners know exactly what is included before paying.

Do you build websites in Arabic for Kuwait businesses?

Yes. John Rish Ladica offers fully bilingual English and Arabic websites with proper right-to-left (RTL) layout support. This is especially valuable for businesses in Kuwait and other Arabic-speaking markets who want to reach both Arabic and English-speaking customers.

How long does it take to build a website?

Timeline depends on scope, content availability, revisions, booking or reservation features, and SEO depth. A small landing page or focused service can be faster, while a full custom business website with advanced SEO and integrations may take several weeks.

Do you offer website maintenance after launch?

Yes. Ongoing website maintenance is available and quoted based on what the business needs, such as updates, content changes, performance monitoring, security checks, and SEO improvements. The goal is to keep the website healthy and growing after launch.

Can you set up Google Business Profile for my business in Kuwait?

Yes. Google Business Profile setup and optimization is one of the core services offered — covering profile creation, category selection, photo uploads, and initial optimization so your business appears on Google Maps and local search results in Kuwait.

Do I need a website if I already have Instagram or Facebook?

Social media helps, but a website is the only digital asset you fully own and control. Google does not rank Instagram profiles for many local service searches. A website lets you appear in Google search results, collect bookings, show proof of work, answer customer questions, and build long-term visibility that social media cannot provide.

Can you add a booking form to my website?

Yes. Custom booking and appointment forms are built directly into the website so customers can request a time slot without back-and-forth messaging. Included in Standard and Pro packages.

Do you work with clients outside Kuwait and the Philippines?

Yes. While the primary markets are Kuwait and the Philippines, John Rish Ladica works with local businesses internationally. All work is handled remotely via WhatsApp, email, and video calls.

About

A real developer, not an agency template.

I build websites for local businesses that need to get found online and convert visitors into paying customers.

I'm John — a freelance web developer from Southern Leyte, Philippines. I specialize in building websites for local businesses that need to get found online and convert visitors into paying customers.

I've built and launched sites for roofing contractors in Los Angeles, AC repair shops in Kuwait, aesthetics clinics in Manila, and rental businesses locally. Each one was built to rank on Google, load fast on mobile, and make it easy for customers to reach the business.

After launch, I don't disappear. I offer ongoing maintenance so your site stays healthy, updated, and working — because a broken or outdated site loses you customers just as surely as having no site at all.

I work in English and Arabic, and I'm available to businesses anywhere in the world.

From first build to long-term upkeep — one person who knows your site.
