What stays yours
Your domain, content, leads and data — always
A good website shouldn't need a big check upfront
A custom business website commonly costs $1,500 to $8,000 before it goes live, and hosting and changes are billed on top. So owners put it off, or spend their weekends fighting a DIY builder. We build it for free instead, and you pay only to keep it hosted, supported and up to date.
The traditional way
Thousands of dollars before anything launches
Hosting, security and updates left to you, or billed separately
Every change after launch is a new invoice
Or a DIY builder, and your evenings
The Graphcast way
Free design and build, no setup fee
Hosting, security and maintenance from $119/month at launch pricing
Monthly edits and updates included in every plan
Professionally built, and a person who answers
12-month minimum agreement on the care plan. Over several years the plan adds up to more than a one-time build; in exchange you pay no build fee and have nothing to manage — see how the model works.

Pricing, contracts and ownership — straight answers
Is the website free?
Yes, the website itself is free. We design and build it at no charge: no setup fee, no design fee, no build fee. What you pay for is keeping it running: a monthly plan (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) that covers hosting, security, support, edits, maintenance and updates, with a 12-month minimum agreement. You can see your homepage design before you sign anything.
How can you build the website for free?
Because you stay with us for hosting and care. Every free website comes with a monthly plan and a 12-month minimum agreement, and that commitment is what lets us skip the build fee. The plan pays for hosting, security, support, edits, maintenance and updates for as long as the site runs.
Is there a contract?
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.
What happens if I cancel?
During the first 12 months: The monthly payments for the rest of the 12-month minimum remain due. The design and build are free because you commit to 12 months of hosting and care; leaving early does not cancel that commitment. 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.
Who owns my website on a subscription plan?
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.
Can I keep my domain name if I leave?
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.
Are there any costs on top of the monthly price?
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.
Can I change plans later?
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.
I already bought a website from Graphcast. Does anything change?
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.
The full terms, side by side with a one-time purchase, are on the pricing page.
