Do I own my website?
If you pay in full, you own the site and the files right away. On the monthly plan, you own the site once it is paid off. You own the domain either way.
How does the deposit work?
Pay in full is $1,899 one time. You pay a 50% deposit to start and 50% at launch. You own the site and the files right away. Hosting & care is optional at $30/mo.
Can I put money down to lower the monthly?
Yes. Put more down and the monthly payment goes down. The $2,136 build total stays the same, and the $89 portion shrinks to match. You can pay off the balance anytime.
What if I want to stop the monthly plan early?
You can pay off the balance anytime and own the site. If payments stop, there is a grace period to catch up. After that, the site comes down until payments resume or the balance is paid.
What does hosting & care cover?
The $30 in the monthly plan is Host: hosting, SSL, spam protection, daily backups, updates, uptime monitoring, and 15 minutes of edit time per month for one small text, photo, or hours change. Edits are done within 3 business days. Site-down response is the same business day. Host is required while the build is being paid off. After the build is paid off, it is optional. If you pay in full, Host is optional at $30/mo. Need more changes each month? Upgrade to Care ($168/mo with the build) or Care Plus ($238/mo with the build).
