## Frequently asked questions
### Should a general contractor website target owners or architects?

Both. Owners want proof and process, while architects and developers want capabilities, safety and similar projects.

Yes. A downloadable capability statement helps commercial buyers and procurement teams.

Website projects are quoted by scope after a short discovery call, based on the number of pages, features such as booking or online sales, and how much content we write. If you also want ongoing SEO, Sprout's published monthly plans start at $500.
