Build fees are one-time project costs, not a website rental. Domain renewal, hosting, payment processing and any paid tools are separate and billed to your own accounts.
What’s not included
Domain renewal, hosting and paid services are separate from the build price. Ongoing SEO, advertising, photography and copywriting are separate unless the scope includes them.
Before you start
- Can I update the website myself?
The larger business site includes editing you can do yourself. For a one-page site, we agree what you need to change before quoting, and the handover shows you how.
- What is included for search visibility?
Clear titles, useful service pages, crawlable links, a sitemap and structured data are part of every build. Rankings also depend on competition and ongoing work, so no build can promise a position.
You own what you pay for.
- The work
On final payment, the custom code, design, content and data are yours: assigned, not licensed.
- The accounts
Domain, hosting, email and payments are in your name and on your billing from day one. I do not resell hosting.
- The code
It lives in your repository from the first commit, so another developer can pick it up at any point.
- The data
Anything the project stores comes with a documented export you can run yourself.
- After launch
Thirty days of fixes are included for anything that misses the agreed scope. After that, support is $125 an hour with no minimum, and a site that is down gets a response the same business day.
- Reusable parts
My reusable components stay mine, with a permanent free license for you and any developer you hire. Third-party software keeps its own license.
- Ending support
There is no minimum term and no cancellation fee; either side gives thirty days’ notice. Ending support never switches your site off.
- If I am unavailable
If you cannot reach me for ten business days, give your accounts, code and notes to another developer and carry on.
