FAQs

Yes, after the 12-month minimum, your subscription continues on a month-to-month basis. It usually takes us 2-3 years to make what we would from a one-time payment, so we aim for clients to stick around for about 5 years. By then, your website should be generating way more value than the $150/month, essentially paying for itself. We hope you’ll continue to see the value in our ongoing work and support.

No, there isn’t a buyout option once the 12 months are up. Our model works because we’re getting paid gradually over time, and we rely on that steady income to focus on you, not constantly hustling to sell new projects. If clients kept buying out early, we’d spend more time selling and less time supporting you—which is not what we want.

Yes! You can add unlimited edits and support for $50 a month with a 12-month commitment. This isn’t a month-by-month switch—you’ll need to stick with it for the year. If you cancel and want to restart, a new 12-month term will apply.

The biggest difference is long term versus short term costs. On subscription, you’ll be paying more over time but it will be in small manageable and affordable monthly payments. The lump sum just gets it all out the way in the beginning and you save more money over the long run because you also paid for the design and development up front. So when deciding which package to choose, it all depends on cash flow and long term versus short term goals. If you don’t want to spend that much up front and value the service that comes with it, then the monthly is your best option. If you don't want or need the monthly service packages, you can get it all out the way up front and save money over the long term.

Yes, SEO works! It’s not magic, though—it’s a long-term game, especially in competitive markets where companies are fighting for those top spots. It’s an investment that takes time (6-12 months) to see real results, but good SEO can make a huge difference in visibility and leads.

Unfortunately, no. Unless you’re getting major media coverage, ranking on the first page in under a month is unrealistic. Beware of anyone who promises fast results—it’s usually too good to be true. SEO takes time, effort, and patience, especially in competitive areas.
