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?
Not as standard, and that’s deliberate. I recommend registering your domain yourself with a reputable registrar such as Cloudflare, so it’s always yours, not mine or anyone else’s. If you ever cancel your Planet53 plan, your domain stays with you, with no transfers or hassle.
A .co.uk or .com usually costs no more than £10 a year. When your website’s ready to go live, I’ll take care of all the technical steps to connect your domain to it.
Prefer not to deal with it? Just say the word and I’ll register one for you.
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.
