03 — Add-ons

Things outside a plan, quoted before we start.

We would rather say “that is extra, here is the number” up front than discover it halfway through. None of these are required.

  • Extra pages

    Beyond the five core pages. Quoted per page before we start, so it never appears on an invoice as a surprise.

  • Copywriting

    We edit and structure what you supply as standard. Writing it from scratch — interviews, drafts, revisions — is quoted separately.

  • Photography and video

    We will art-direct and place what you have. Shooting new material is a separate engagement.

  • Analytics dashboard

    One view of traffic, calls, and form fills across your tools. Useful once there is enough traffic to read.

  • Ad creative

    Static and video cuts to platform spec, with variants to test. Priced per campaign.

  • Migrations and integrations

    Moving off Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress, or wiring a booking or CRM system. Scoped after we look at what you have.

04 — Ownership

You own the code, content, and keys.

Not a licence, not “access while you subscribe”. The repository, the design files, the domain, and every account are yours, and we will transfer them on request at any point — including the day you cancel.

The monthly plan buys hosting, updates, monitoring, support, and small changes. Cancel it and the site keeps existing; it just moves to you or to whoever you choose. There is no minimum term and no exit fee.

Nothing here is built on a page builder or a proprietary CMS you would have to escape from later.

05 — Questions about money

The ones people actually ask.

Why is this so much less than other agencies?
Because there is no account layer. You work with the people building the thing, the studio is small, and the monthly fee makes the up-front number smaller rather than the total larger. If a project genuinely needs more than these plans cover, we quote it instead of pretending it fits.
What happens if I cancel the monthly plan?
The build is yours — code, content, and keys — and we hand it over. What stops is hosting, updates, support, and any Ada usage on our account. You can host it yourself or move it to another developer. There is no exit fee and no minimum term.
What exactly do I own?
The full source code, the design files, the content, and the domain and accounts. Everything is deployed from a repository you can be given at any time. Nothing is built on a proprietary platform you cannot leave.
Is the monthly fee required?
Yes, while we host and support the site — it is what pays for hosting, updates, monitoring, and small changes. If you would rather take the code and run it yourself after launch, tell us up front and we will price that as a one-time build.
What do you need from me, and when?
Copy and images for each page, your logo and brand assets if you have them, and one person who can approve decisions. The timeline starts when that content is in hand, not when the invoice is paid — content is the thing that actually holds projects up.
Can I start with a website and add Ada later?
Yes. Adding Ada later costs the same as the standalone Ada plan; there is no penalty for not bundling on day one.
