Real small business example
Sam runs a local plumbing business. He needs a clear, local-focused website to get leads — not a custom enterprise app. Here's the 12-month cost comparison:
- Agency: $5,000 setup + $100/mo management = $6,200

Answers to common pricing and package questions to help you decide with confidence.
The flat $49/month covers the full managed website service: domain registration/transfer, secure hosting, SSL, built-in local SEO, monthly analytics, and unlimited content updates via simple text or WhatsApp messages. There are no hidden fees for routine edits or performance monitoring.
No setup fee for the demo and no lock-in. We aim to make it easy to start and stop — cancel anytime without penalties. Specific domain transfer fees or premium add-ons may apply and will be disclosed upfront.
No. Unlimited routine updates are included. Text us to change copy, images, prices, or promotions and we’ll apply the edits—typically within minutes—at no extra cost.
Basic contact forms and simple booking widgets are available. Complex eCommerce or custom booking systems may require an additional one-off integration fee. We’ll always provide a clear quote before starting custom work.
We keep pricing simple and predictable. Most customers pay only the flat monthly fee. Premium third-party services (paid booking platforms, premium plugins, or specific paid APIs) are billed separately and you’ll be asked to approve them before they’re added.
