I'll keep refining the design until you're completely happy with it.
FAQ
How many pages can my website have?
No arbitrary page limits — your website can grow with your business.
Does it include a domain name?
I generally recommend that you register your domain name yourself with a reliable registrar such as Cloudflare, as this ensures that YOU truly own it, not me or anyone else. That way, if you were to ever cancel your website plan, you will still own your domain to use with another provider.. No complicated transfers, no hassle.
A typical .co.uk or .com domain currently shouldn't cost any more than £10 / year.
When it comes time to publishing your new website, I'll take care of all the technical steps required to hook your domain up to the website.
All that being said, if for any reason at all you don't want to register a domain yourself, just say the word and I'll happily register one on your behalf.
When will my website be ready to view?
You'll be able to preview a first draft of your website within 3 days, often sooner.
If you like what you see and decide to subscribe to a service plan, then you can begin requesting revisions to the design.
How long it takes to get your website live entirely depends on how many revisions you want making to the first draft, but in most cases I can get a new website live within just 1 week of paid service.
Am I tied into a contract?
There are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees, so you're free to cancel whenever you like.
What happens to my website if I cancel?
Your website will stay online until the end of your current paid billing period, after which it'll be taken offline.
Want to keep your website? I can offer the option to buy your website outright for a very reasonable one-off fee, so you can take it to another hosting provider if you prefer.
If you registered your own domain then that remains yours regardless.
I'll always happily help you understand your options. No awkward conversations, no hidden surprises and no hassle.
