Your New Business Website. $0 Upfront.

No — and we will not pretend it is. There is no upfront design or development fee: you pay $0 to start, then one monthly price (Starter at $119/month, Growth at $179/month, or Lead Engine at $299/month for the first 12 months at launch pricing, then $199, $299 or $499) with a 12-month minimum agreement. That monthly price covers the build, hosting, security, maintenance and support. What is free is the homepage preview: a personalized homepage design concept, delivered as a private link, with no obligation.

The cost of the design and build is spread across the 12-month minimum term instead of being billed as a lump sum on day one. That is why the minimum exists. After the first 12 months, the monthly price keeps paying for hosting, maintenance, updates and support.

Yes. Subscription websites have a 12-month minimum agreement, which you sign before any build work starts. The agreement continues month to month. Cancel any time with 30 days’ written notice — no termination fee and no domain-transfer fee.

During the first 12 months: The monthly payments for the rest of the 12-month minimum remain due. That is what pays for the design and build you did not pay for upfront. After that: The agreement continues month to month. Cancel any time with 30 days’ written notice — no termination fee and no domain-transfer fee. Either way, you keep your domain, your content and your data. Want to take the site with you? We quote a one-time buyout of the design and code — in writing, before you commit. Or we export your content, images and data so another developer can rebuild.

You own your domain, your logo and branding, your photos, the copy we write for you, and all your leads, customer data and analytics accounts. Graphcast owns the design, templates and code, which you use under licence while you are subscribed. That is what makes $0 upfront possible. If you want to own the design and code outright, we quote a buyout in writing before you commit.

Yes, always. Your domain is registered in your name (or stays where it already is), and we never charge a domain-transfer or release fee. If you leave, we help you point it wherever you want.

Only third-party costs, and we name them up front: your domain registration (roughly $12–20 a year), advertising spend, ongoing SEO campaigns, paid software, and usage-based charges such as call-tracking numbers and SMS. Nothing is added to your bill without your approval.

Yes. You can upgrade at any time and the new price starts with your next billing month. Moving down to a smaller plan is available after the first 12 months, as long as the site fits that plan's page allowance.

No. If you bought your site outright, you still own it exactly as your agreement says, and the optional Care Plan continues on its existing terms. The subscription plans apply only to new agreements that choose them.
