A few things to know.
What does the free mockup cover?
A first look at your homepage, based on your brief. We agree the build and its price after you’ve reviewed the direction.
Can I update the website myself?
The listed template packages use managed edits. If you want to change content yourself, ask for an editor or CMS in your brief so it can be included in the quote.
Can customers book or buy online?
Business and Local Pro can link to your existing booking service. Live availability, deposits, checkout and custom integrations are separately scoped, including any provider fees.
What happens if I leave?
A one-off build is yours at launch. Monthly plans run for at least six months, after which you own the site and can leave with 30 days’ notice. Your domain is in your name from day one.
