Who owns the website?
Your domain is registered in your name, and your business name, logo, content and data always belong to you. If you leave, we send you all your website files, so you can host and manage the site yourself or with another provider. No surprises. If you would rather own everything outright from day one, we also build one-off website projects.
Cancelling
Every plan is month-to-month. You can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice by email or WhatsApp, with no exit fee. Most clients stay because the website keeps bringing in work, not because they are locked in.
Is a subscription right for you?
A web design subscription suits service businesses that want a professional website without a large upfront bill, and want someone to keep it fast, secure and up to date. If you only need a simple page you will never change, a DIY builder may be enough.

Web design subscription questions
Common questions about website subscriptions. Can't find yours? Message us.
What is a web design subscription?
A web design subscription replaces the big upfront cost of a website with one monthly fee. The fee covers the custom design and build, hosting, security, backups, content updates and support, so your website keeps improving instead of going out of date.
What is website as a service?
Website as a service is another name for the same model: you pay monthly for a website that is built, hosted and maintained for you, rather than buying it once and looking after it yourself.
How much does a web design subscription cost?
Our plans are $199, $399 and from $699 a month. Starter covers a custom website up to 5 pages; Growth adds booking, unlimited updates and SEO; Scale adds custom software and AI. There is no setup fee.
Who owns the website and domain?
Your domain is registered in your name, and your business name, logo, content and data are always yours. If you cancel, we send you all your website files so you can host and manage the site yourself or with another provider.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes. Plans are month-to-month and you can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice by email or WhatsApp. There is no long contract.
Is a subscription cheaper than a one-off website?
In the first year, almost always: you pay nothing upfront. Over three years the total is similar to a mid-priced agency build plus hosting and maintenance, but the subscription includes updates, fixes and SEO work that a one-off build charges for separately.
How long does it take to launch?
You see a working preview within 5 business days of our kick-off call. Most sites go live within two to three weeks, depending on how quickly content and feedback come back.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at the start of any billing month. We add the new features to your existing site, with no rebuild and no downtime.
