What your monthly fee covers
Hosting is not an extra. This is what the monthly price includes on both options.
- Hosting for your site
- Your domain name, registered in your name
- A business email address on your domain
- An SSL certificate, so your site loads securely over HTTPS
- Daily backups of your site
- Malware scanning on the hosting
What can change the price
Both options include up to 12 pages in total, counting Home, Contact, About and Privacy. Extra pages are quoted before we build them. These can also add to the price:
- The number of pages
- The number of roofing services you offer
- Photography
- Copywriting
- Booking or financing tools
Optional: an AI phone line and web chat
Add it to either option. It answers any time, says up front that it is AI, and takes a message so Lui Designs can call you back. Calls are transcribed, not recorded. Add-ons are priced separately and quoted before we start.
Pricing questions
Is there a setup fee?
On the monthly option, no: setup is $0. On the one-time option, the design is $1,995.
When do I pay?
Monthly option: the first $250 is due before we start designing and is not refundable once design begins. After that, $250 is billed each month for the first year, then $49 a month. One-time option: $997.50 (half of $1,995) to start, and the other $997.50 before your site goes live on your domain. Then $49 a month for hosting and management.
What if I miss a monthly payment?
You have 30 days to catch up. We send a reminder, and your site stays live during that time, but updates and support pause until your account is current. If the payment is still missing after 30 days, your site is taken offline until you pay. We keep your files for 90 days, and your site comes back as soon as the balance is paid. Your domain always stays in your name.
How many pages do I get?
Up to 12 pages in total on both options, counting Home, Contact, About and Privacy. If you need more, extra pages are quoted before we build them.
Can I own the hosting myself?
By default we host and manage the site for you, and you can have a login to it. On the one-time design option you can choose full ownership instead: we set up a hosting account in your name and recreate your site there for an extra $250, one time. Your domain and email settings go with it, and you pay that hosting directly. On the monthly option, Lui Designs hosts and manages the site.
Are updates and changes included?
Small edits are included on both options: text, photos, hours and contact details. We make them within 24 hours. New pages, new sections and other bigger changes are quoted before we start.
What happens after the first 12 months?
On the monthly option the price drops from $250 to $49 a month. You own the site and your domain, and we keep hosting and managing it. On the one-time option you already own the site. In both cases we keep hosting and managing it for $49 a month.
Do I pay separately for hosting, my domain or email?
No. Hosting, your domain, your business email and your SSL certificate are covered in the monthly price on both options.
Can I cancel?
There is no contract on either option. You can cancel any time. If you cancel the monthly option during the first year, the site stays with Lui Designs and your domain stays in your name.
How fast is it?
Most sites are ready within 48 hours of getting everything we need from you: photos, text, and your approvals.
Will this get me to the top of Google?
We build the site so it is clear, fast and easy for search engines to read. Nobody can promise a ranking, and we do not.
