"Can I Just Ask a Quick Question?"

You’ve been there: you’re in the middle of something and you think,
“Wait… can I just ask someone real quick if this is the right way to do it?”

So you pop open a tab, draft a quick message, and start typing:

“Hi! Sorry to bother you. I just have a quick question…”

✨ I get these emails all the time. And honestly?
They’re my favorite.

🧠 Let’s Clear This Up First: You’re Not Bothering Me

If you’re a client (or a maybe-one-day client) and you have a question about your site, your idea, or whether something is even possible – ask.
You’re not “wasting my time.”
You’re not “supposed to already know this.”
And no, you’re not the first person to ask that thing you’re afraid is silly.

Part of my job is helping people understand their websites.
That means answering questions – whether it’s during a big build or just a curious DM.

💬 But What If It’s Actually… a Big Question?

Sometimes the “quick question” turns into:

  • Can you look at my entire homepage and tell me what’s wrong?
  • Why isn’t my form sending emails anymore?
  • How do I connect this third-party tool to my site?
  • Is this plugin safe to use?
  • Can you tell me why my traffic dropped?


Totally fair questions! But they’re more than a quick yes/no.

Here’s how I handle it:

👉 If I can answer it quickly, I will – no problem.
👉 If it’s more in-depth, I’ll let you know and either:

  • Give you a quick ballpark on time/cost
  • Suggest a maintenance plan or performance audit if it’s ongoing
  • Or schedule a time to dig in properly

I’ll always tell you before the meter starts running.

💡 Your Questions Help Me Do My Job Better

Yes, I’m here to fix things – but more than that, I’m here to support you.

When you ask questions, I learn what matters to you:

  • What you’re confused about
  • Where your site is (or isn’t) working
  • What you need to move forward

It’s not a burden. It’s insight.
And it helps me tailor your website (and our working relationship) to fit you better.

🤝 Final Thoughts

If you’re holding back from asking something because:

  • You’re afraid it’s dumb
  • You don’t want to “bother” me
  • You’re worried it’ll open a can of worms


Let me officially say: it’s okay to ask.

I’m not just a developer – I’m a person who’s built this business on being approachable, responsive, and clear. So yeah, you can ask a quick question.

And if it’s not quick?
We’ll figure that out together, too.
