The fine print, in plain words.

How billing works

Builds are one-time

• Site clone. If you already have a website, we clone it with minor improvements and security hardening. One fee covers all of your existing pages: $499 for Small and Medium sites (up to 30 pages), $999 for Large (31 to 100) and $1,999 for Extra large (101 or more). Up to 2 hours of changes beyond the clone are included. Work past that is billed as time and materials.
• New site, from $299. If you don't have a website yet, $299 covers the core build: setup, staging and the first 5 pages on Basic or 10 on Growth. The rest of the work, such as writing your content, is billed as time and materials.
• New page design, $140 each. Any page we design that doesn't exist yet: on a new site beyond its first pages, or added to a site we've cloned. Pages carried over in a clone never get this charge.

Time and materials

• Updates and other work are $70 an hour, billed in half-hour increments.
• On Growth, the rate is 15% off: $59.50 an hour.
• There's no separate small-updates plan. Every change is billed at the time and materials rate.

Hosting is monthly

• Basic, $55 a month: a Small site (up to 10 pages) and 10 GB of bandwidth a month. Basic doesn't include contact forms, analytics, the Secure Transfer Portal add-on or geo-redundancy.
• Growth, $89 a month: a Small site (up to 10 pages), email contact forms available (see add-ons), 30 GB of bandwidth a month, and analytics and embedded statistics, which are only offered on Growth.
• Google Ads on Growth: startup is included, which means account creation and basic configuration. All campaign work is billed as time and materials.

Site size

• Larger sites cost more to store, back up, monitor and keep up, so hosting steps up by size instead of by page. Both plans include a Small site.
• Small, up to 10 pages and 1 GB of storage: included.
• Medium, 11 to 30 pages and 2 GB: $20 a month more.
• Large, 31 to 100 pages and 5 GB: $45 a month more.
• Extra large, 101 pages or more and 10 GB: $85 a month more. Beyond 10 GB, we'll quote it.
• Counting pages: a blog counts as 2 pages in total, the blog listing page and the post template, no matter how many posts it has. Posts never change your size tier.
• Page count is a stand-in for how much a site takes to host. A site whose files and media outgrow its tier's storage moves up a tier.

Monthly add-ons

• Email contact forms (Growth only): each form is built as time and materials at the Growth rate ($59.50 an hour), then costs $2 a month per form.
• Secure Transfer Portal add-on (Growth only): $75 a month, billed as its own line on your bill. It gives your staff a secure sign-in to view encrypted form submissions and uploads.
• Bandwidth: $5 a month for each extra 10 GB a month.
• Overages: limits are only enforced if we see extreme usage. In that case, overage charges may apply at $1 per GB.

Geo-redundancy (Growth only)

• $35 a month adds a second hosting site, with DNS health-checked failover to it.
• Because the second site carries your whole site too, your size tier and the form and bandwidth add-ons add 50% of their monthly price to the redundancy cost. The Secure Transfer Portal add-on doesn't count toward it. For example, a Medium site costs $20 + $10, and one form costs $2 + $1.
• One-time build fees aren't included in that 50%.
