Frequently asked questions
Questions? We've Got Answers.
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Our team is one message away.
How much does a website cost?
Websites start at $1,000. The final price depends on what your site needs — the number of pages, a store or bookings, copy and photos — and we agree it with you in a written quote before any work starts.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. Pay the whole price at once, or spread it over 12 or 24 monthly installments. The website, the team and the timeline are the same either way.
What does hosting cost while I am paying?
Nothing. While you pay for your website in installments, its hosting is free. Hosting is billed at the regular website rate only once the website is paid off.
How long does it take?
Most business websites go live in a few weeks. Larger sites, stores and custom applications take longer — your quote includes a timeline.
How many revisions do I get?
We refine the design with you until you are happy with it before we build, and we walk you through the finished site before launch.
Do I need to buy a domain name?
If you already have one, we connect it. If not, we register one for you, in your name.
Who owns the website?
You do. Your content, your design and your domain belong to your business.
Who makes changes after launch?
The same team that built it. Ask for a new page, new prices or new photos and we make the change.
