FAQ
Everything you need to know before getting started.
You are located in California. How do you serve clients in Norfolk?
We have been working with clients nationwide since 1997. Technology bridges the gap. We handle strategy sessions via Zoom and are highly responsive via email and phone. You get the benefit of West Coast talent with the ease of US-based communication.
Why choose Brainbox over a local Norfolk freelancer?
Stability and breadth of talent. Freelancers can get overwhelmed or vanish. As a dedicated agency established in 1997, we have a full team of experts in design, coding, and SEO. We are a partner for the long haul.
How do you handle the time difference (PST vs EST)?
It actually works to your advantage. By the time our team starts the day (10 AM PST / 1 PM EST), you have had your morning to handle operations. We then work late into your evening, meaning you often wake up to completed tasks and updates the next morning.
Do you understand the local Norfolk market?
Yes. We research your specific competitors, local SEO keywords (like “Ghent,” “Naval Station,” “Hampton Roads”), and audience demographics before writing a single line of code.
