Questions people ask.

Plain answers on price, time, ownership and each service we offer.

Prices and payment

How much does it cost?

The Full bundle starts at Nu. 47,700 and Get online at Nu. 22,700. After a short call we send a fixed quote in writing within 2 working days. That is the price you pay.

How do I pay?

In two parts: one to start, the rest at launch. Pay by mBoB, mPay, bank transfer or any Bhutanese bank app.

Time and process

How long does it take?

A typical website takes 2–4 weeks, and a new brand 3–5 weeks. Your quote gives the dates.

How many revisions?

As many as it takes for you to be happy with it, within the scope in your quote. Anything new gets its own price first.

Do you work outside Thimphu?

Yes. We work with clients across Bhutan and abroad, on WhatsApp and video calls.

Ownership and support

Do I own it?

Yes. The domain, hosting, code and design files are in your name. If you ever move on, they go with you.

I already have a website. Can you take it over?

Yes. We move it to our hosting and check that everything works. Then Keep it running looks after it, from Nu. 4,700 a year.

Services

UI/UX design

We already have developers. Can you just design?

Yes. Most of our design work is handed to someone else's developers. You get Figma files with named components and tokens, a short handover call, and we stay on WhatsApp for questions while they build.

Do you test with Bhutanese users or just go by best practice?

Both, but the tests decide. We recruit 5 people who match your users — a shopkeeper in Paro, a civil servant in Thimphu, a tour guide — and watch them use the prototype on their own phones. What trips someone in Bhutan matters more than a pattern that works in Singapore.

Can the interface be in Dzongkha as well as English?

Yes. We design the layouts to hold both, since Dzongkha runs longer and needs a Tibetan-script font such as Noto Serif Tibetan. You supply the translation; we set it and check it on real phones.

Graphic design

Can you design in Dzongkha?

Yes, as long as you supply the Dzongkha text. We set it in a Unicode Tibetan-script font, check the line breaks with you and export it as outlines so the printer cannot swap the font.

Do you handle the printing in Thimphu?

We brief the printer, send print-ready files and check the proof with you. You pay the press directly, so you are not paying us a margin on paper. We work regularly with presses in Thimphu and Phuentsholing.

We post on Facebook daily. Can you make that cheaper than one-off posts?

Yes. We build a set of templates in Canva or Figma, sized for Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp status, and show your team how to fill them in. After that you only pay us for new formats.

Branding

Can the logo carry Dzongkha and English together?

Yes, and we design for it from the first sketch rather than adding Dzongkha later. Tibetan-script letters are taller than Latin ones, so a lockup that treats both fairly takes real work; we test it at signboard size and at 32 pixels.

Will you check the name is free to use?

We check the company name against the registry, the .bt and .com domains, and social handles before we show you a shortlist. For a trademark search and filing with the Department of Intellectual Property you need a lawyer; we prepare the artwork they need.

We only need a logo, not the whole thing. Is that cheaper?

It is, from about Nu. 12,000, but we will tell you what you are giving up: no rules for colour and type, so the next brochure drifts. Most clients who start with a logo come back for the system within a year.

WordPress development

We have a Wix or Squarespace site. Can you move it to WordPress?

Yes. Neither exports cleanly, so we rebuild the pages, copy the text and images across, and set up redirects so old links and Google results keep working. This is our Website migration service; if you need a new design as well, it becomes a WordPress project.

Can the site be in Dzongkha and English?

Yes. We set up 2 languages with a switcher and a Unicode Tibetan-script font that renders on every phone without installing DDC fonts. You supply the Dzongkha; we do not translate.

Why not Elementor or Divi? Our last developer used one.

Page builders are why your last site is slow and hard to edit. We use the block editor that ships with WordPress, so there is no yearly licence, no plugin that breaks on update, and any WordPress developer in Bhutan or abroad can maintain it after us.

Can customers pay on the site in Nu.?

Through the RMA payment gateway, yes, but your bank has to approve the merchant account first and that can take weeks. We quote it separately and start the paperwork early. Bookings by form, WhatsApp and bank transfer work from day 1.

AI-assistant websites

What can the assistant actually answer, and what can it not?

It answers from your own pages, prices, policies and FAQs, and nothing else. Ask it about your Punakha itinerary and it quotes your page; ask it the weather in Punakha and it says it does not know and offers WhatsApp. It cannot take a booking, take a payment or change a date.

Will it make things up?

Less than you would fear, but not never. We limit it to your content, test it with 200 real questions before launch, and set it to say so when unsure rather than guess. You read the log each month. If it gets a price wrong, that is a page to fix, and we fix it.

Does it work in Dzongkha?

It can read and reply in Dzongkha, but the quality is well below English and depends on how much Dzongkha content your site has. We recommend English with a clear WhatsApp hand-off for Dzongkha speakers until the models catch up.

What does it cost to run each month?

The AI provider bills usage at cost, usually Nu. 800 to 3,000 a month for a tourism site and a few hundred more for a busy shop; we pass it through with no margin. Hosting is on our Hosting plan. There is no per-seat licence.

Hosting

Should the site be hosted in Bhutan or abroad?

Abroad, for most sites. Bhutan's international traffic exits through India, so a server in Mumbai or Singapore with Cloudflare in front is quick from Thimphu and everywhere else. If a regulator or a tender requires the data to stay in Bhutan, we can host at a data centre in Thimphu; it costs more and we quote it separately.

What happens if the site goes down at night?

The monitor pings us within a minute and we look. Most outages are a plugin update or a full disk and are fixed within the hour. If it needs you, we message on WhatsApp in the morning. Nightly backups mean the worst case is losing one day of edits.

Can you host a site someone else built?

Yes, if it is WordPress or a static site. We check it for outdated plugins and known malware before it moves; if it is already compromised, cleaning it is a separate job we will quote first.

Domains

.bt or .com?

.bt if you serve Bhutan and want to say so; a tour operator or a Thimphu shop is stronger on .bt. .com if your customers are abroad or you may expand. Many take both and point one at the other. .bt costs more, about Nu. 2,000 a year, because the registry is small.

Our old developer registered the domain. How do we get it back?

If it is in their name, it is theirs to transfer. We draft the request, tell you what the transfer code looks like and move it into an account in your name the day it arrives. If they will not cooperate, we register a new domain and redirect once you have the old one. Do not let it expire.

Why does our email go to spam?

Usually because SPF, DKIM and DMARC were never set. Gmail and Outlook now reject mail without them. We add the 3 records, test with a real send to Gmail and Outlook, and show you the pass.

Website migration

We are on Wix. Will we lose our Google rankings?

Not if every old URL redirects to its new page, which is most of the work. We map them all, test each one and send Google the new sitemap. Rankings may wobble for 2 to 3 weeks and then settle. Sites that skip the redirects are the ones that lose.

Can you move a site built by a developer who has disappeared?

Usually. If you have the hosting or domain login, we can take a full copy. If you have neither, we rebuild from the live site, page by page, and register a domain in your name; it takes longer and we say so up front.

Will the site go down during the move?

No. The new copy is built on a temporary link while the old site keeps running. The switch is a DNS change that takes minutes, done on a weekday morning so we are awake if anything needs a hand.
