Nobody likes a surprise on an invoice. The way to avoid it is to write down every cost before you start, and sort them by who gets paid. Some go to us, some go to other companies, and some are things you will never pay for. Here is the full list.
What you pay us
The build is a one-time fee set by plan: Launch Website $399 for up to 5 pages, Business Plus $989 for up to 20, Business Extra $1,500 for up to 50, Business Ultra $2,000 for up to 100 and Business Max Growth $3,000 for up to 300 pages.
Website Care is $30/month. It covers managed hosting, HTTPS, backups, uptime checks, weekly performance checks, A/B testing and up to 30 minutes of small edits per month. Monthly SEO is an optional add-on and only if you choose it.
What is included in every build
- ✓Consultation — a conversation about what the site needs to do
- ✓Mobile-friendly design — laid out for small screens first
- ✓Copy we write for you — you approve every line
- ✓A contact form — messages come to you
- ✓Essential search setup and 10 revision rounds — included in the price
What you may pay someone else
A domain name is paid to a registrar, usually once a year. Business email, if you want it, is paid to a mailbox provider. If you take bookings, deposits or payments, the tool you use charges its own fees, and those belong to that provider.
We name these now so they are not a surprise later. We do not add a markup on them or collect a share.
What is not included
- ✓Photos and logo design — you supply them, or we plan around them
- ✓Pages beyond your plan limit — a larger plan or extra pages
- ✓Custom software or member areas — not something we build
- ✓Monthly SEO — optional, quoted separately if you want it
What to expect, honestly
- ✓Third party fees are outside our control — they can change
- ✓Larger scopes are quoted before work — no surprise invoices
- ✓Domain renewals are yearly — set a reminder
