Monthly Website Design for Houston Businesses

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.

No, and we would rather say so now than surprise you later. Removing a card or stopping a bank debit stops a payment method, not the agreement. To end the agreement, give written notice by email — after the minimum term that takes 30 days, with no termination fee.

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.

Changing text, swapping photos, updating prices, hours, staff or services, adding a review or a project to a gallery. Each plan includes a monthly allowance (up to 30 minutes of minor content updates a month on Starter). Unused time does not roll over. New pages beyond your allowance, redesigns and new features are quoted before we start, never billed by surprise.

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.

You can, and for some businesses it is genuinely fine. What the builder will not do: write pages around the searches Houston customers actually type, align your Google Business Profile, keep everything updated, or answer the phone when something breaks. You still have to do it all yourself. A builder is cheaper per month; a Graphcast plan costs more because a professional does the building, the updates and the upkeep instead of you. If a DIY tool genuinely fits your situation, we will say so.
