$49 a month.

Your domain name is yours. If we register it for you, it is in your name from day one, so nobody can hold it over you. The site itself is ours until all 36 monthly payments are made, and then it is yours. If you want it sooner, you can pay off the rest of your term at any point and we hand over the files. A site on your own website builder or real estate platform is different: it stays in your account throughout. Any logo we design for you is yours once you approve it, as long as your account is paid up.

Yes. It is $1,699 US, or CA$2,399 plus tax, paid once, and then it is yours. Same five pages, same seven business days, same three rounds of changes. Hosting and the domain are included for the first year. After that, you can host with us for $25 US, or CA$35 plus tax, a month, or take the files and host them anywhere you like. Either way, you pay the domain renewal yourself. The logo, business card and email signature come with the subscription, and we can quote them for an outright site. Monthly changes are not part of that option; anything after handover is quoted at $150 US, or CA$210 plus tax, an hour.

Because there is no setup fee. An agency would ask you for two to six thousand dollars before starting; we ask for your first month. We carry the build cost instead, and the term is how we recover it. Once the three years are done, the site is yours.

The site is yours, and you choose what happens next. Renew for another three years and we redesign up to five of your pages, at the price you are paying. Or carry on month to month at that price. Your hosting, domain, updates, 15 minutes a month and leads list all continue. We also give your site a tune-up of up to two hours of our time, to use within three months of your second month-to-month payment, and another every three years you stay. Or leave with 30 days’ notice by email and take the files with you, or keep just the hosting with us for $25 US, or CA$35 plus tax, a month. If the monthly price ever changes after the three years, you get 60 days’ notice and can cancel before it does.

Because most of what the monthly covers carries on. Your hosting, SSL certificate, backups, software updates, domain, leads list and 15 minutes a month of our time continue exactly as before, and keeping a site safe and current is ongoing work. What changes at three years is that the site becomes yours, so you are free to take it elsewhere on 30 days’ notice by email. If you stay, we give it a tune-up to bring it up to date. If you want a fresh design, renew for another three years and we redesign it, at the price you are paying.

You can. There is a minimum of $1,000 US, or CA$1,400 plus tax, which is under two years of monthly payments, and every monthly payment for your website counts toward it. Give 30 days’ notice by email, and your monthly payments continue until then. If by then they come to less than the minimum, you pay the difference; if they already come to that, there is nothing to top up. The minimum applies from the day you approve your logo or your homepage design, or leave one unanswered for 30 days after we send it. On your own platform, publishing our design also counts as approving it. When you go, a site we host comes down, a site on your own platform stays in your account, and your domain transfers to you free.

You see it before it goes live and you get three rounds of changes. Nothing is published until you say so.

Two questions answer that. When was it built, and can you change it yourself? If it was built before phones became the main way people search, or if changing a price means emailing somebody who may not reply, this is worth a look.

Yes, for the same monthly price as a new site, covering up to five pages. We redesign it inside the platform you already use, and you add us as a user from its settings, so you never share your password. Every platform is different, so we agree on the timing with you before we start. Your platform keeps hosting it, so you keep paying them for that and for any paid themes, apps or plugins your site needs. Your logo, business card and email signature are included the same as with a new site. If your WordPress site is with a web host rather than on WordPress.com, we either move it to our servers or quote its upkeep separately.

Yes. Your platform runs the listings, and we make the rest of the site look like you, with wording written for the neighbourhoods you sell in and a design that matches your brand. It is the same monthly price, and your platform account stays yours. As with any platform, we agree on the timing with you before we start.

Yes, if you do not have one, and it is part of the monthly. You get three concepts to choose from and two rounds of changes on the one you pick, and it is yours once you approve it, as long as your account is paid up. If you already have a logo, we use it exactly as it is.

No. You get print-ready files that any print shop can use, and if we know a good shop near you, we will point you to it. The design is part of the monthly; the printing is between you and the shop.

We give you a step-by-step guide that walks you through it in Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail. You set it up yourself, so we never need the password to your email.

We leave it alone, and it is the part we are most careful about. If you already have email working, it stays exactly where it is and we do not touch its settings. If you need addresses on a new domain, we set up forwarding so mail to you@yourbusiness.com is passed on to the inbox you already use. Forwarding is not a mailbox, and your email itself stays between you and your email provider. If you want full Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailboxes, we can quote for setting those up.

Every page of your old site gets pointed at its closest match on the new one, so the links and search results you already have keep working instead of leading to an error page. What nobody can honestly promise you is a position in Google, and we would be wary of anyone who does.

Yes. You tell us what you do and where you work, and we write the pages. You can change any of it during the three rounds of changes.

We try again, we email and we call. If a payment is still outstanding after 14 days, the site is switched off until your account is paid up, then goes back up within one business day of payment, with nothing lost. The monthly payments still fall due while it is off.

In the United States, no. The figure you see is the figure you pay. In Canada, GST or HST is added at the rate for your province, along with any other sales tax that applies, so the monthly is CA$67 plus tax.

It is how we look after your site once it is live, and it is part of the monthly, not an extra. You get 15 minutes a month of our time for changes and for support by phone, email or text, and if you carry on month to month after your term, a tune-up every three years. Fixing anything that breaks on our side is on us and never comes out of your 15 minutes. Hosting, updates, backups, your domain and your leads list are part of the monthly too.

Not unless you ask for it in writing, apart from the few amounts set out in our Terms, such as the minimum if you leave before your term ends. This page has one optional add-on, After Hours, which answers your phone when you cannot. It is $39 a month to set it up, connect it and keep it running, plus the call time at 15 cents a minute, which for most trades runs $6 to $14 a month. It is off by default, and we switch it on only when you ask for it in writing. Everything in the included list at the top of this page is in the monthly.
