Why We Refuse to Sell "Care Plans".

Website maintenance plans vary widely in price and scope. Some focus on updates and backups, while broader services include hosting, monitoring, development time and incident response. Cyber Shield is our active protection offer: 60-second form testing, enterprise WAF, and a zero-cost hack recovery guarantee alongside the published warranty terms.

Pricing FAQ

The questions buyers actually ask.

Why don't you bill by the hour?

For defined project work, uncapped hourly billing can pass extra delivery time to the buyer. With a fixed price against an agreed scope, we carry the delivery-cost risk for that work. Any additions are agreed and priced before we start them.

What is the 90-day warranty?

Every milestone build includes a 90-day warranty from launch. It covers defects against the agreed specification only. It does not cover enhancements, new features, configuration changes, third-party failures or client modifications.

Can I pause or cancel the Unlimited Growth subscription?

Yes. After the initial 3-month onboarding term, Unlimited Growth is billed rolling monthly. You can pause or cancel anytime with a single click or Slack message before your next billing cycle.

What counts as 'one active task at a time'?

You can load 50 tasks into your backlog. Our team works through them sequentially, shipping completed 24–48h atomic deliverables to your staging environment. As soon as a deliverable is approved, the next task automatically moves into flight.

Who owns the code and intellectual property?

You do. 100%. Upon invoice settlement, all code, repository access, design assets, and database schemas are completely yours with zero vendor lock-in or proprietary licensing fees.
