Straight answers

Frequently asked questions.

How much does a website actually cost?

Starter sites are $399 + $49/month. Most businesses choose Professional at $899 + $69/month with booking included. Premium is $1,799 + $119/month. Every quote is fixed before we start — the number you're told is the number you pay. A $0-down option spreads year one into a flat monthly payment.

How fast will my site be live?

You'll see a free working preview within 24–48 hours. After you approve the direction, most sites are live within days. Agencies quoting 4–6 weeks are working off an old playbook.

What does the monthly fee cover?

Hosting, SSL security, monitoring, and — the part you'll actually feel — content updates by text. New prices, hours, photos, specials: message us and it's live in minutes. You never wrestle with software.

Is booking really included?

Yes. Embedded booking is part of the Professional tier. Premium adds your industry’s revenue feature — online ordering, a quote calculator, photo-triage intake, or protection plans.

What's the AI assistant?

A smart concierge that lives on your site and answers customer questions 24/7 — menu, hours, services, booking requests — and captures the lead either way. Try ours right now: bottom-right corner of this page. Almost no other studio offers this.

Do I own my website?

Your domain and the content you provide are yours from day one. Ownership of the website itself — files, code, and design — transfers to you once your account is paid in full. Until then, the site remains our property.

What areas do you serve?

Anywhere on Earth. In person around the Greater Toronto Area when you want a face across the table; fully remote everywhere else — same builds, same speed, same promise.
