We do not sell hosting on its own. Hosting, the domain, SSL and backups come with whatever we build you, in a plan that scales with what you are running. Every plan is quoted against your actual build — in writing, before anything starts.
The build and its plan are quoted together, once we know what we are making. No rate card, no surprise invoice.

Questions
The things people actually ask
If yours is not here, ask us directly — you will get a straight answer, not a discovery call.
Should my site be WordPress or Laravel?
WordPress when the site is content-led and your team needs to change things themselves every day — marketing sites, publishing, brochure sites and WooCommerce stores. Laravel when the site is really an application wearing a website: portals, memberships, booking, quoting, anything with real business logic behind it. We will tell you which one your project wants before you commit to either.
Do you use page builders or off-the-shelf themes?
No. We build custom WordPress themes and only the blocks and plugins your workflow actually needs. A bought theme bent into shape is why so many WordPress sites end up slow, fragile and impossible to update — and it is most of the rescue work we get called in for.
Can you take over an existing WordPress or Laravel site?
Frequently. We start with a paid audit of the codebase, the plugins and the hosting, then tell you honestly whether it is worth continuing or cheaper to rebuild. Plenty of sites just need the plugin sprawl removed and a care plan, and we will say so rather than quote you a rebuild.
Can a custom system talk to what we already run?
That is usually the point of it. Our Laravel systems integrate with accounting, CRM, payment and shipping providers, and very often with a WordPress or WooCommerce site the business wants to keep. You should not have to abandon working tools to get the missing one.
Who owns the code and the accounts?
You do, from the first commit. The repository, the Apple Developer account, the Play Console, the servers and the domain are all registered in your name. You can take the whole thing elsewhere whenever you like.
How do you price a build?
Fixed price against a written scope, after a scoping workshop — never an open-ended hourly arrangement. Payment lands in milestones tied to working software you can look at, not to dates in a calendar.
Can I buy hosting from you on its own?
No. We host what we build, because we are only willing to be accountable for uptime on something we understand end to end. If you just need somewhere to put an existing site, we are happy to recommend a host and help you move — we will not charge you a margin to sit in the middle of it.
Is there a minimum contract on the care plans?
Three months on Site, twelve on Business and Platform where we are holding capacity for you. All can be cancelled with 30 days' notice.
Do I have to take a care plan after the build?
No, and we will hand everything over cleanly if you would rather host and run it yourself. We will tell you plainly what that involves — certificates, patching, backups, OS upgrades and store policy changes do not stop coming.
Whose name is the hosting account in?
Yours. The hosting, the domain and the certificates are registered to you and paid from your card or billed at cost, not marked up. We manage them on your behalf, and if you leave you keep the lot without having to migrate anything.
Want a real number for your project?
Tell us what you want to build. We will come back with a scoped fixed price and the plan that goes with it — not a range.
