A website, built around what it actually needs to do.

A fixed price, written down before anything starts. When it’s done it’s done, and you own all of it.

Who this is for

Some organizations are replacing a site that stopped working. Some are building their first.

If you’re replacing one.

  • The site was built on a platform that made sense years ago and now charges you to leave.
  • Nobody can change a page without calling somebody.
  • The documents people actually need open as scans.
  • Someone asked whether a screen reader can use it and the room went quiet.

If you’re starting from nothing.

  • People look you up and find a social page, or nothing.
  • You’re about to launch, and the site needs to be ready when you are.
  • You want it built right the first time, not on a template you’ll outgrow.
  • It needs to do something, like take a booking or an inquiry, not just exist.

Either way, it’s built once, around what the site needs to do, at a price you learn upfront.

What you get

  • A written scope before anything starts. What’s in, what’s out, page by page. You approve it before we book the work.
  • A fixed price that’s the price. It moves only when you change what’s in it, and a change gets written down and agreed before we build it.
  • A real end date. Not a range that slides. You know the week it goes live and what we need from you to hold it.
  • Accessibility built in from the first commit. Rather than remediated two years later once somebody complains. It costs less at the start and holds up better.
  • Everything yours when it’s done. The code, the domain, the content and the notes to pick it up, whoever hosts it.

How it works

  1. For a first site, we start with who it’s for and what they need to do on it. For a rebuild, we go through what’s there now: the pages worth keeping, the ones nobody has opened in a year, the documents, the forms. That’s what makes a price honest instead of a guess.

  2. Then you get it in writing, with a price and a date, and nothing gets built until you’ve said yes to it.

  3. There’s a working version you can open whenever you want, and a short note from us each week on what moved. What sinks a rebuild is a client going quiet for a month and then seeing it all at once.

The same person start to finish. Whoever plans your site builds it and hands it over at the end.

After it launches

A finished site still needs someone looking after it. Certificates expire, software ages, and small changes come up.

Your team. We hand over everything they need and show them how it all works.

Support. We keep what we built running, with a small, set amount of change each month.

Webmaster. We run the site and everything around it for you. It stays yours.

How it’s priced

Against what’s in it, written down first. The estimate is the price. It changes only if you add something or take something out, and you see the new number before we start. No hourly billing, and nothing extra at the end for the parts that ran long.

If the price is fine but funding it all at once is the problem, the same build can be paid for through a Webmaster agreement over a fixed term, with Webmaster included the whole way. The build still has one price and an end date.

How a rebuild gets folded in

You own it. We can host it.

The code, the content and the domain are yours, whoever runs it.

Here’s what that means in practice.

You own it, wherever it runs.Ownership is written into the agreement, not decided by whose account the hosting sits in.
We can host it for you.Most clients let us. It’s one contact for anything about the site, and nothing for your staff to monitor. The code lives in our repository with your team as contributors. Or it lives in your account and you host it yourselves. Totally your call.
Your domain stays in your name.So does any service the site needs, at the vendor’s own price.
Leaving is a date, not a negotiation.If you ever go, there’s a set handoff date, the code and hosting move into your accounts, and there are written notes for whoever comes next.

A site you can’t leave is a site somebody else owns. We’d rather you stay because the work is good.

For public entities

Priced to survive a purchase order

Quoted as an annual not to exceed, with a scope of work written to attach to a purchase order. Named deliverables, a ceiling on the price, and a finish date inside the fiscal year.

Accessibility is part of the build rather than a later line, which is usually what has to be answered in writing.

Questions

What if we change our minds halfway through?

It happens. We write down what’s changing, what it does to the price and the date, and you say yes or no before any of it gets built.

Deciding how something we already agreed on gets built is part of the job, not a change.
