Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our services
General
6Kukalaya is a web development agency specializing in high-performance, AI-powered websites. We build professional websites using modern technologies — designed to load fast, rank well on Google, and scale with your business.
We work with businesses of all sizes — from startups launching their first product to established companies modernizing their web presence. Our clients are typically business owners, marketing teams, or tech leads who need a website that performs better than a generic template.
If you're unsure whether we're a good fit, try our free AI Service Assistant—it recommends services based on your specific needs.
Three things: (1) We build with AI-first architecture, not bolted-on chatbots. (2) We obsess over performance—sub-2-second load times are our standard. (3) We explain everything in plain English. No black boxes, no unnecessary jargon.
Yes. We serve clients worldwide and build websites with multi-language support (i18n) built in from the start. Our own site is available in English and Spanish.
Both. We build new sites from scratch and also optimize existing ones—whether that means improving performance, adding AI features, fixing SEO issues, or migrating from legacy platforms like WordPress.
Our free website evaluation can identify specific issues with your current site and recommend improvements.
We serve any industry that needs a high-quality web presence: e-commerce, SaaS, healthcare, education, real estate, food and beverage, professional services, and more. Our technical approach adapts to your domain.
Services
6Our core services include: AI Integration (chatbots, automated workflows, content generation), Performance Optimization (sub-2s load times, Google speed scores), SEO Excellence (technical SEO, enhanced search listings), Security (secure logins, user permissions, data protection), Scalability Solutions (auto-scaling, automated deployment, reliable environments), and Global Speed Hosting.
We connect AI models directly to your business data. This means AI assistants that actually know your products, services, and content — not generic chatbots. We use multiple AI providers for maximum reliability.
A good first step is automating customer support with an AI assistant trained on your FAQ and documentation. This can handle 60-70% of common questions automatically.
We use powerful workflow automation tools to create automated pipelines — for example, automatically generating content with AI, publishing it to your site, sending notifications, or syncing data between services. Think of it as connecting all your business tools so they work together automatically.
Automated workflows can handle repetitive tasks like social media posting, email sequences, data backups, and content publishing — saving hours of manual work each week.
We specialize in responsive web applications that work flawlessly on all devices, including mobile. We don't build native iOS/Android apps, but our progressive web apps (PWAs) can provide app-like experiences on mobile.
Yes. We regularly migrate sites from WordPress and other legacy CMS platforms to modern stacks. We handle content migration, URL structure preservation (for SEO), and redirect setup to ensure zero traffic loss.
Before migrating, make a complete backup of your WordPress site including the database. We handle the technical migration, but having a backup gives you peace of mind.
Yes. After launch, we offer monitoring, updates, security patches, and performance optimization. We believe launch is just the beginning—your site should keep improving over time.
Hosting & Infrastructure
7Global Speed Hosting means your website runs on servers distributed across 300+ locations worldwide, close to your visitors. Instead of one server in one location, your site is served from the nearest location — resulting in faster load times globally.
Global Speed Hosting is especially beneficial if you have international visitors. A user in Tokyo gets the same fast experience as someone in New York.
Traditional hosting runs your site on one or a few servers in a data center. Global Speed Hosting runs your website on 300+ locations simultaneously. Benefits: faster global load times, automatic attack protection, zero server maintenance, instant auto-scaling, and built-in security.
A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a network of servers around the world that caches and delivers your website's static content (images, CSS, JavaScript) from the server closest to each visitor. This dramatically reduces load times. All our hosting plans include CDN.
No. With our Global Speed Hosting, there are zero servers to manage. No patches, no updates, no capacity planning. Everything scales automatically and we handle all the technical operations.
Edge hosting auto-scales instantly. Whether you get 100 visitors or 100,000 in an hour, the infrastructure handles it automatically. No downtime, no slowdowns, no manual intervention needed.
If you're planning a product launch or marketing campaign that might spike traffic, let us know in advance so we can ensure your hosting plan has sufficient request limits.
Yes. All hosting plans include free SSL certificates, automatically provisioned and renewed. Your site will always serve over HTTPS with no additional cost or configuration.
We offer two hosting types. Global Speed Hosting has four tiers: Starter ($29/mo), Professional ($49/mo), Enterprise ($89/mo), and High Performance ($149/mo). We also offer Dedicated Power Hosting for complex applications. All plans include worldwide delivery, security, and attack protection.
Performance
5Google measures three things about your website's user experience: how fast it loads, how quickly it responds to clicks, and how visually stable it is during loading. Good scores directly impact your Google search rankings — faster sites rank higher.
You can check your site's speed scores for free using Google PageSpeed Insights (pagespeed.web.dev).
We use a combination of techniques: serving your content from the nearest server worldwide, loading only what each page needs, optimizing images automatically, smart caching at multiple levels, and choosing the best delivery method for each page type.
Through a combination of techniques: global hosting (content served from the nearest server), efficient loading (only what's needed), image optimization (modern formats, smart loading), multi-layer content delivery, and optimized page generation. Every millisecond matters.
Yes, significantly. Google uses page speed as a ranking factor. Faster sites get higher rankings, lower bounce rates, and better conversion rates. Studies show a 1-second delay in load time can reduce conversions by 7%.
Lighthouse is Google's open-source tool for auditing web page quality. It scores pages 0-100 across four categories: Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO. We target 90+ in all categories for every project we build.
SEO
6Technical SEO is the foundation that helps search engines find, understand, and rank your website. It includes: proper site structure, page descriptions, sitemaps, mobile-friendliness, page speed, enhanced search listings, and multi-language setup.
Those enhanced listings — with star ratings, FAQs, prices, or images — are created by adding special markup to your pages that tells Google more about your content. We implement this automatically so your site stands out in search results and gets more clicks.
FAQ markup (like this page uses) can make your FAQ content appear directly in Google search results, giving you more visibility without additional ad spend.
Rich results are enhanced search listings that include extra information like star ratings, images, FAQ dropdowns, pricing, or breadcrumbs. They stand out from regular blue links and get significantly higher click-through rates. We implement the Schema markup needed to enable them.
We set up proper multi-language configuration so search engines know which language version to show each user. Each language gets its own URL structure, properly localized descriptions, and a separate sitemap. This ensures the right version ranks in each market.
A sitemap is an XML file that lists all your website's pages, helping search engines discover and crawl them efficiently. We generate sitemaps automatically so they're always up-to-date when you add or remove pages.
After launching a new site, submit your sitemap to Google Search Console. This accelerates indexing and gives you visibility into any crawl issues.
Technical SEO improvements (speed, structure, schema) can show results within weeks. Content-based SEO (rankings for target keywords) typically takes 3-6 months. The timeline depends on your industry competition and the starting state of your site.
Security
7We use industry-standard secure login systems. When a user logs in, they receive a secure token that proves their identity — no need to re-enter credentials for every action. We also support two-factor authentication for extra security.
We set up a permissions system where access is based on roles (like admin, editor, viewer). Users get the permissions their role needs — nothing more. This makes managing access simple and keeps your data safe.
Start with the minimum permissions and add more as needed. It's always safer to expand access than to restrict it later.
Two-factor authentication requires users to verify their identity using two methods — typically a password plus a code from a phone app or text message. It blocks over 99% of automated account attacks.
We implement multiple layers: abuse prevention (limit suspicious activity), data validation (block malicious input), access controls (verify who can access what), and encryption (all data is transmitted securely). Every connection is protected by default.
WordPress is the most targeted CMS on the internet. While its core is reasonably secure, the ecosystem of themes, plugins, and shared hosting creates massive attack surface. We build on modern, secure stacks where security is designed in from the start—not dependent on third-party plugin updates.
If you currently run WordPress, ask us about migration. We can move your content to a modern stack while preserving your URLs and SEO rankings.
Every site we build uses encrypted connections (HTTPS) — the same technology banks use. This means anything your visitors type (passwords, contact forms, payment info) is scrambled and unreadable to anyone who might try to intercept it. We also enforce a policy that prevents browsers from ever loading your site without encryption.
Yes. We conduct regular vulnerability assessments, dependency audits, and security reviews. We keep all dependencies updated and follow OWASP security best practices throughout development.
Process & Pricing
7We follow eight phases: (1) Discovery and Planning, (2) Architecture and Design, (3) Development, (4) Quality Assurance, (5) Deployment, (6) Security Implementation, (7) Performance Optimization, (8) Ongoing Support. Each phase has clear deliverables and checkpoints.
A simple marketing website takes 4-6 weeks. A complex web application with AI integration, user accounts, and custom features takes 8-16 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during the proposal phase based on your specific requirements.
It depends on complexity. A professional marketing site starts in the low thousands; a full web application with AI, authentication, and custom features can range into the tens of thousands. We provide transparent, itemized quotes—no surprises.
Start with our free website evaluation. It gives you a clear picture of what your project needs, which helps us provide an accurate quote.
Yes. We offer a free website evaluation that analyzes your current site for performance, SEO, security, and mobile issues. We also offer a free discovery call to discuss your project goals before committing to anything.
Launch is the beginning, not the end. We provide 24/7 monitoring, regular updates, security patches, automated backups, and performance optimization. We also offer a 30-day bug fix warranty after launch.
Yes. After full payment, you own all custom code written for your project. We retain rights to our pre-existing tools and libraries, but everything built specifically for you is yours.
We offer ongoing support plans. Small changes and updates are included in maintenance. For larger feature additions, we scope and quote them separately. We're here for the long term—not just for launch.
