  • Delivered website files after the setup or project fee is paid.

  • Extra page: $250–$300
  • Professional copywriting: $250–$400
  • Logo or brand refresh: $500+

A clean handoff starts with clear roles

What you provide. What you own.

Your part before and during the build

  • Provide final website copy, logo files, and imagery before the build begins.
  • Confirm that supplied content may be used and purchase any required stock-asset rights or licenses.
  • Review work and send clear, timely feedback during the included revision rounds.
  • Maintain ownership of and access to the domain and any third-party accounts the website needs.

Your ownership after payment

  • You own your domain and the content you supply.
  • You retain the rights or licenses you purchase for third-party assets used in the project.
  • You own the custom source and build files delivered after the setup or project fee is paid.
  • You may move the delivered site to another host; migration work is scoped separately.
  • Third-party fonts, libraries, stock assets, and services remain subject to their original licenses.
  • The final service agreement identifies the exact deliverables for your project.

Support after launch

A monthly service that keeps the site moving.

Every package includes a flat monthly service after launch. It keeps the site hosted, secure, supported, and current without a long-term contract. The final service agreement sets request limits, response expectations, reporting cadence, and any third-party costs.

Monthly service supports site health and visibility; it does not guarantee rankings, traffic, or leads. Content production, paid ads, domain fees, and third-party software costs are separate unless specifically listed in the agreement.

What monthly service can include

  • Hosting, SSL, backups, and security updates
  • Defined content and site updates within the package limit
  • Email support and issue triage
  • Analytics and monthly dashboard reporting
  • Agreed technical and local-search work

Outside the standard offer

  • Substantive copywriting beyond the copywriting add-on
  • Brand identity work beyond the logo or brand-refresh scope
  • Ongoing content production beyond the agreed monthly scope
  • Social media management
  • Domain registration and management
  • Third-party platform, software, transaction, and advertising fees
  • Paid advertising spend

From inquiry to handoff

Three steps, with no mystery in the middle.

  1. Send the essentials

    Choose a package and provide the final copy, logo, imagery, and access the approved scope requires.

  2. Review the build

    Review the working site and send timely feedback through the revision rounds included with your package.

  3. Launch and take ownership

    After the setup or project fee is paid, the site launches and you receive the custom source and build files included in the agreement.
