- Subscription (the default): I build your site and put it fully live. Your first 30 days are free with a card on file. After that it's $99/mo, cancel anytime, no minimum term. Includes hosting, SSL, security, weekly content changes on request, and a monthly report of your site's visits and calls.
- Cancel the subscription any time from your Stripe portal link or by emailing me. Cancel within the first 30 days and you're never charged. Cancel later and the site goes offline at the end of your paid month; you can buy it outright at your tier's build fee any time before or after.
- Ownership (the alternative): a one-time website build at the tier you pick ($200 / $400 / $800) plus a required monthly retainer ($39.99 / $69.99 / $129.99) for hosting, security, and the per-week change cap for your tier.
- A preview before anything. The preview is free; nothing is owed until you say "ship it."

The deal.
Short version: I build your site and your first month live is free. Stay subscribed and I keep it running, or buy it outright and you own it. If I screw up, you tell me. If I can't fix it, you don't pay. The longer version is below in plain English.
Terms of service
- Preview within 24 hours of your request, or I email you to explain why not.
- Site live on your domain within 2 to 4 days of you paying.
- Weekly updates per your retainer tier (Standard: 2/week, Plus: 10/week, Pro: 25/week). I'll tell you when you're at the cap.
- Uptime monitoring + SSL + security patches as long as the retainer is active.
- One human (me, Ren) responds to your emails personally within 24 hours, business days.
- On the subscription, I own and operate the site for you. Your business content (your photos, your copy, your reviews) is always yours. If you cancel, the site goes offline; buy it out at your tier's build fee and it's yours forever.
- On the ownership path, you own it outright the moment your build fee clears. The code, the copy, the design: yours.
- If you ever cancel an ownership retainer, I'll export your site as a static bundle you can host anywhere. No ransom, no "we'll release it for an additional fee."
- I retain the right to mention your business in a portfolio context (name, link, one screenshot). Tell me at any time if you don't want that and I'll pull it.
- 14-day satisfaction window: if I can't fix what's wrong within 14 days of go-live, you get a full refund of the build fee. Cancel the retainer and we both move on.
- Reel-for-$50 deal: after launch, submit a 30 to 90 second selfie-cam clip about your new site on the upload page and you get $50 back: refunded to your card on a build, or off your first paid month on the subscription. One per site. Submit a clip →
- Retainer: billed monthly, no long-term commitment. Pause or cancel any time. No refunds on a month already paid for unless something I did caused you a real problem. In that case, just email me.
- How refunds happen: back to the original card via Stripe. Usually 5 to 10 business days to clear at your bank.
- Build sites for businesses I think are scams or that promote hate.
- Use AI to fake reviews, fake testimonials, or fake "as seen in" badges on your site.
- Add tracking pixels, ad scripts, or anything that monetizes your visitors without your written sign-off.
- Sell, share, or "anonymize and resell" any of your data.
- You own the content you give me (photos, copy, logo). If a photographer or designer made it, you have the right to use it.
- Pay the build fee within 7 days of approving the preview, or the preview link expires.
- Keep the retainer paid if you want the site to stay live, secure, and updated. If a retainer payment fails I'll email you twice; if it's still unpaid after 14 days I'll pause the site.
- Tell me when something's wrong. I can't fix what I don't know about.
- The site comes "as is." I'll make it work on modern browsers and mobile, but I can't guarantee compatibility with very old browsers (IE, ancient Android).
- I'm not responsible for outages caused by Cloudflare, Stripe, your domain registrar, or the wider internet. I'll work with you to get back online fast when they happen.
- The build fee is the maximum amount I'll ever owe you in a refund. I'm one person, not a corporation with a war chest. Be reasonable.
