How fast will mine be live?

Launch Site: 5 days from your Day 1 call. Growth Site: 7 days. Own Your Web: 15 days. Need it sooner? Tick "rush" at the payment step — it adds 20% and moves your build to the front of the queue, so most rush builds are live in two or three days.

Do you only work with businesses near you?

Not at all — we're a Central Ohio studio and we work with owners across the state and the country. Everything happens by email and two quick reviews, with a 15-minute call only if you want one.

What do you need from me?

Your logo and photos if you have them, and about two hours across the week: the call, a look at the design, and a final check before launch.

Can I split the payments?

Two ways. Start with the deposit and pay the rest at launch — no interest from us, no contract. Or pay in full and split that with Klarna, Affirm or Afterpay; approval and terms are theirs.

What if I don't like the design?

Then we change it — revision rounds are in the package and we keep going until it's right. And if the fit is wrong, every dollar you've paid is refundable in full right up until the day the site goes live. Nothing goes live without your say-so.

Do You Own Your Website? Five Questions

A website is an asset, or it is a rental. The difference is decided before you pay, in a contract and in who holds the logins. Five questions settle it.

1. Who owns the domain, and whose account is it in?

The domain is your address, and it is the one piece that cannot be substituted. It should be registered in your name, in an account you can sign into, with your email on it. If the designer holds it, ask them to transfer it now, not in three years when you want to move on.

2. Who owns the design, the code and the words?

Ask plainly: "If we stop working together, do I keep the site?" The right answer is yes, and it is worth having in writing. The wrong answer includes the phrase "licensed to you", which usually means rented.

3. If I leave, what comes with me, and in what form?

Ask for the format: the files, the images, the text, the database if there is one. A site you can export is worth more than a site you can only look at.

4. What happens to the pages if I stop paying?

Subscription builders look cheap because the site is not yours; stop paying and it disappears. That is a fair deal if you know it going in, and an expensive surprise if you do not. Ask the question out loud.

5. Can I see and export my own data?

Leads, form submissions, customers, orders. If the answer is no, you do not own the part of the business that matters most, whatever the contract says about the design.

The answers that should make you pause

The domain is registered by the vendor "on your behalf".
"We host it, so it can't be moved."
The site lives in a builder where leaving means starting again.
A long contract with no exit, for a site that should be a one-time purchase.
Data you can ask to see but never receive.

What we do

You own the site, the domain and the content outright. The domain is registered in your name. Hosting and after-launch care are included in the price, and the words and photos are yours to take anywhere. On our custom CRM, the data is exportable in full at any time, and the plan is month to month with no contract, because a tool you cannot leave is a tool you do not own.

None of that is unusual. It just has to be said before you sign rather than after.
