Packages
Three packages. A clear reason for each.
Every package is paid once and every one includes the download. The total, including any tax, is shown before you pay.
You can switch package in the builder at any time before paying, and preview what each one adds. Booking and ordering features link to those services; they are not a booking system and their own fees are separate. What the packages don’t do.

The yearly costs, and what each one does.
None is required to keep the file you bought.

- A domain priced when you search
- Search the name in the builder and it shows the price, or we confirm it by email when no price comes back. A domain you already own can be connected instead.
- Hosting it yourself
- Hosting it yourself instead? The editor comes with your package for 12 months on Starter and up to three years on Business and Growth, then it is $62 a year, the price of a hosting year. Either way the site stays live, nothing is deleted, and you can edit the HTML yourself for nothing.
What happens when you buy
Five steps, and you can stop before the third.
Step 1 of 5
Choose a package and check the total
The buy form shows the package, your details, the billing currency and the refund terms. The total, including any tax, is shown before you pay.
Step 2 of 5
Confirm your email
We send a six-digit code to the address you gave, so your download and access link reach the right inbox.
No screen to show: the six-digit code only appears once a real code has been emailed, so we cannot capture it honestly.
Step 3 of 5
Pay on Stripe’s secure checkout
Card details go to Stripe, never to us. Leave the checkout and nothing is charged.
No screen to show: the payment page is Stripe’s own, not ours. Card details go to Stripe, and leaving the page charges nothing.
Step 4 of 5
Your download unlocks
Once the builder has confirmed your payment, download the whole site as one HTML file. Your access link arrives by email.
Step 5 of 5
Go live when you’re ready
Publishing needs hosting: Business and Growth include Basic hosting for the first year; Starter adds it. Add a domain and mailboxes in the same place. A person connects your domain, so it isn’t instant.
Refunds follow a published sliding scale that starts at 90% in the first 72 hours. Hosting, domains and email are final once set up. Read the refund policy.
Against monthly builders
A site you buy, rather than one you rent.
Monthly builders charge for as long as the site is up. We publish the comparison, with every rival price linked to its source and the things we don’t do listed too.
Questions
Before you start.
Is the website really a one-off payment?
The website package is paid once. Hosting, domains and mailboxes are yearly services you choose; none is needed to keep the file you bought.
Does a bigger package guarantee more enquiries?
No. A bigger package gives you more sections and tools. What they bring in depends on your business, your content and who visits.
Why pay for hosting if I can host it myself?
You don’t have to. Hosting with us publishes the site, keeps the editor open and watches uptime. Host it yourself and there is no hosting bill from us; the setup is yours, and the editor comes with your package for a set time before it has a yearly price.
Is tax included in the prices?
The total, including any tax, is shown before you pay. The checkout shows your location, selections and total before you pay.
What does the included first hosting year mean?
Business and Growth include a year of Basic hosting. After that it renews yearly at the published price, which the builder shows before you buy.
Can I check the refund terms before buying?
Read the refund policy first: a sliding scale that starts at 90% in the first 72 hours and reaches nothing at day 60. Hosting, domains and email are final once set up. Nothing in it limits your rights under consumer law.
Build first, then choose the package.
