What's included in the monthly subscription plan?

Your plan includes professional website design, managed hosting, SSL certificate, monthly content and design updates, performance monitoring, and priority email support — everything you need to keep your site live and current.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Yes. There are no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees. Cancel with one month's notice and we'll provide you with all your files and assets.

How long does it take to launch my website?

Most sites go live within 2–4 weeks of your discovery call. We prioritise a fast, focused build so you're not waiting months for a site that should already be earning you business.

Do I own my website if I cancel?

You own all your content, copy, and images. We'll export and deliver everything to you. The design template is licensed during the subscription — we'll work with you on transition options if you move on.

What if I need a major redesign partway through?

Major redesigns beyond your plan scope are quoted separately. Minor layout adjustments, brand refreshes, and copy overhauls are included in your monthly plan at no extra cost.

How does your pricing compare to a traditional agency?

A typical agency charges $5,000–$20,000 upfront for a website that then sits untouched. Our subscription model spreads that investment over time and keeps your site actively maintained — no separate retainer needed.

Do you offer annual plans with a discount?

Yes — paying annually saves you the equivalent of two months compared to monthly billing. Ask about annual pricing when you book your discovery call.

What platform do you build on?

We build primarily on modern, performance-optimised platforms chosen to match your needs — whether that's a headless CMS, a purpose-built stack, or a managed solution. We'll recommend the right fit for your business size and goals.

Is hosting included in the monthly fee?

Yes. Managed hosting with SSL, uptime monitoring, and automatic backups is included in every plan. You never deal with hosting bills or server management.

How fast do you respond to update requests?

Update requests submitted Monday–Friday are acknowledged within one business day and completed within 3–5 business days depending on complexity. Urgent requests are flagged and prioritised.

Can I upgrade my plan as my business grows?

Absolutely. You can move to a higher tier at any time. Plan changes take effect the following billing cycle and there's no penalty for upgrading.

What happens to my site content if I cancel?

We provide a full content export — all text, images, and media files — within 7 business days of your final billing date. Your data is never held hostage.

What does the onboarding process look like?

We start with a 45-minute discovery call to map your goals, audience, and content. After that, you approve a site map, then we build. You review a staging version before anything goes live and can request changes before launch.

Do I need to work with a local web designer to get a good result?

No. Every engagement is fully remote — structured across video calls, a shared project portal, and async updates. We serve businesses across the US and the workflow is identical wherever you're based. Distance has no bearing on quality or responsiveness.
