Your business.Your website.Unmistakably you.

A web builder is an online application where someone without development or design experience can make a site for a subscription that is often inexpensive or free. Squarespace, Wix, and Shopify are examples. They can be convenient, and they often lack the customization and functionality a professional site needs. Custom design allows more flexibility, scalability, and search engine optimization.

• Cookie-cutter designs: templates in a given industry get reused, so a site can look like a competitor and do less for credibility.
• Bloated code: builders pack in features for many kinds of businesses. More code means more for the server to process and a slower page.
• Layout without UX practice: choosing colors and placement yourself is not the same as knowing where content will actually work. An expert in the business is not automatically an expert in how people use a website.

There is an in-house financing program for a custom website, with a payment plan built around the budget. Here is how it works.

• A minimum of a $2,500 total project cost
• A 25% down payment
• Monthly payments for 11 months on the remainder
• 0% interest
• Anything added that was not agreed upon beforehand is paid as you go
• You have access to the site the entire time, not when it is paid off
• If the credit card on file fails or declines, and we do not receive a replacement within 10 days, the website will be put under maintenance and inaccessible to users, owners, or browsers
• If no payment is captured on 2 consecutive months, the project is considered abandoned. Reach out so we can find a way to help

No. The monthly obligation in the financing example does not include a maintenance package. Website maintenance is a separate service.

See website maintenance for that work.
