How much does a website cost in Pucón or Villarrica?
It depends on scope: number of pages, languages, features, payment gateway integration (Webpay, Flow, Stripe). I don't sell pre-packaged tiers — each business is unique. You receive a clear quote with a fixed price in under 48 hours, no commitment. Tell me what you need on WhatsApp and I'll send you a detailed proposal.
Can we meet in person in Pucón or Villarrica?
Yes, of course. I've lived in Pucón for over 10 years. The first meeting is free — I'll buy you a coffee or come to your business. I also happily travel to Villarrica, Caburgua, Lican Ray and nearby towns.
How long does a website take?
A showcase site takes 2 to 3 weeks from when we approve the proposal. A more complex site with bookings or e-commerce can take 4 to 6 weeks. I give firm deadlines and meet them.
Will my site appear on Google?
Yes, and much better than with WordPress or Wix. My sites are designed SEO-optimized from the start: clean code without bloated plugins, HTML5 semantic structure, Schema.org structured data (LocalBusiness, FAQ, BreadcrumbList), sitemap.xml, multilingual hreflang and Google Search Console connection. I also set up your Google Business Profile to appear on the map. Ranking for competitive searches like "hotel Pucón" usually takes 3 to 6 months.
Do I need a domain and hosting? Do you handle them?
Yes, your site needs a domain (e.g. yourcompany.cl) and hosting. It costs about $50,000–80,000 CLP per year. I help you buy them in your name (so you're always the owner) and set them up at no extra cost.
Will I depend on you to update my site?
No. If you want autonomy, I give you your own admin panel where you can update text, photos, prices and products yourself. If you prefer to delegate, I offer monthly maintenance plans from $30,000 CLP. You decide.
Can you build my site in English, French or another language?
Yes. I'm a native French speaker, have lived in Chile for 10+ years and speak fluent English. I design professional multilingual sites with automatic language detection. It's one of my most requested services from Pucón hotels and tour operators.
What if I already have a website but it doesn't work well?
I give you a free diagnosis of your current site (speed, SEO, design, features). If it can be fixed, I fix it. If it's better to start over, I explain why and offer a migration discount.
Why a custom site instead of WordPress or Wix?
WordPress looks cheap upfront but ends up expensive: plugin licenses, constant maintenance, security vulnerabilities, themes that break, bloated code that loads slowly and ranks poorly on Google. Wix locks you into a mediocre template with a mandatory monthly fee. A custom .NET Core site is lighter, more secure, ranks better on Google and is truly yours. For a brand project or a business that wants to attract customers from Google, the difference is huge.
Do you work in ASP.NET or only .NET Core?
Only .NET Core (the modern, cross-platform, much more performant version) with SQL Server. I no longer work in classic ASP.NET (Framework). All my sites use the most current and performant of the Microsoft ecosystem, which translates into faster, more secure, and better-ranked sites on Google.
And if I only have Instagram, do I really need this?
Instagram is great for showing photos, but it doesn't appear on Google when someone searches "restaurant in Pucón" or "cabin Villarrica". A website is your own home on the internet, where the customer decides to book, order delivery or call you. The two complement each other.
