What $99 a month actually gets you
Cheap website offers usually hide something. Here is the whole thing, including the parts that are not included.
Short version. $99 a month, nothing up front, twelve-month term. You own the domain. There is no other charge.
The terms, plainly
Nothing to pay up front. $99 a month for twelve months, then month to month — cancel any time after that.
If you cancel inside the twelve months there is a $499 buyout, which is written in the agreement before you sign it. That exists because we build the site before being paid for it.
Your domain is registered in your name from the start, and everything you write and upload is yours. If you leave, the domain goes with you. You will pay your registrar about fifteen dollars a year for it, and that is the only cost that is not in the $99.
Who owns what
You own your domain, your content, your photos, and your customer data. We own the website's code and keep it running, hosted, patched, and online.
That is what makes $99 possible: we are not selling you a one-off build, we are running a site for you. If you leave, you take the domain and the content and point it wherever you like.
Custom applications are the exception. If we build you software — a booking system, an internal tool — that code is delivered to you and it is yours outright.
Changing things
You get an admin login. Text, photos, hours, prices, staff — you change those yourself, from a phone, at eleven at night if you want. No ticket, no waiting on us.
It is deliberately narrow: it edits content, it cannot break the layout. If you want a new page or a design change, that is us, and it is quoted first.
If you would rather not touch it at all, the $149 plan is the one where we make the changes for you.
Why it can be this cheap
Hosting genuinely costs us almost nothing — the sites are static files served from a free tier, and that is not a trick, it is just what static hosting costs now.
The build is faster than it used to be. There is no office, no sales team, and no project manager. And because you make your own everyday changes, we are not spending hours a month on small edits.
The honest catch
It is five pages, not twenty. Google Business Profile setup and ongoing SEO are not included — those are real work and they are priced separately. Everyday edits are yours to make; if you want us doing them, that is $149.
The code stays ours. And there is a twelve-month commitment.
If any of those are dealbreakers, one of the other options on this page is a better fit and we would rather point you at it than sell you the wrong thing.
- $99 Sites vs. building it yourself on Wix or SquarespaceWe will start with the case against us: for some businesses, Wix is genuinely the right answer.
- Why agencies quote $5,000 and we don'tAgency quotes are not a scam. The money goes somewhere real. It is worth knowing where, so you can tell whether you need it.
