Why does a marketplace like Skyfarer build websites?
Because we kept seeing the same problem. Running an aviation marketplace means we watch thousands of flight schools, instructors, and operators try to attract students every day — and the ones losing business almost always have the same gap: no credible website, or one that doesn't convert. We already knew what an aviation business needs to be found and booked, so building those sites was a natural next step. It also works both ways: a strong website plus a Skyfarer listing gives your business two doors for customers to find you instead of one.
How long does it take to build my website?
Most websites are ready within about a week of receiving your information. Pro builds with multiple pages may take slightly longer. We'll give you a clear timeline once we review your form.
Do I need to provide my own photos and content?
Helpful, but not required. Your own aircraft and facility photos make the site stronger, and we'll write all the copy for you. If you don't have professional photos, we'll guide you on what works best.
What about hosting and a domain?
Hosting is optional and inexpensive — typically $15–30 per year. If you already own a domain, we'll connect it to your new site. If you need one, we'll help you get it registered.
Can I make changes after the site goes live?
Yes. Every package includes 30 days of revisions after launch — that's when most tweaks come up, and they're on us. After that, updates are available as a simple add-on: 5 updates for $279 per year, covering text changes, new photos, updated pricing, and more.
Do I own my website?
Yes — completely. The site is yours outright, no subscription and no lock-in. If you'd ever like to manage it yourself or hand it to another developer, just ask and we'll send you the full source files. It's your asset to keep.
Do I have to list on Skyfarer to get a website?
No — the website service is open to any aviation business: flight schools, instructors, flying clubs, maintenance shops, FBOs, and more. That said, if you offer flight training or aviation services, listing on Skyfarer also puts you in front of thousands of pilots actively searching the marketplace.
What's the included Premium Listing on Skyfarer?
Both packages include a full year of Premium Listing on the Skyfarer marketplace — a $159 value, free. A Premium Listing gives your business priority placement and added visibility in front of thousands of pilots and prospective students searching Skyfarer each month. After the first year, you can renew at the standard rate or simply let it revert to a free standard listing.
What's the difference between Basic and Pro?
Basic is a polished single-page website — ideal for independent instructors, flying clubs, and smaller operations. Pro is a multi-page site with dedicated pages for each program or service, a stronger SEO structure, and a photo gallery — best for flight schools and multi-service businesses with a full range of offerings.
