Founding client rate for my first five clients, in return for permission to feature the finished site in my work.
Included in your build
Four things, done properly.
01
Up to 5 core pages
Designed for phones and desktops, around your real services. A typical set is home, services, about, reviews and contact, shaped to how your customers actually decide.
Not included: extra pages, online booking or shops. These are quoted separately.
Light · colour · crop
02
Your content & up to 10 photos
Your existing content, reorganized so the important things come first. Up to 10 of your photos get light colour, brightness and crop adjustments.
Not included: new copywriting from scratch or photo shoots.
03
Contact form & launch
A contact form set up and tested, launch help on your own hosting, and 30 days of fixes to issues in the agreed build after it goes live.
Not included: paid hosting, domain renewals and paid services. Your proposal lists them.
04
Two revision rounds
Review the complete website and refine it twice, directly with me. Nothing launches until you approve the final version.
After that: new content, design changes and features are separate requests.
How payment works
One fixed price. Two payments.
The price, pages, timing and any ongoing costs are agreed in writing before anything starts. No surprise invoices.

One-off changes from $75 USD
No monthly plan required. Scope and price are agreed before the work. New pages, sections, redesigns and features are quoted separately.
No lock-in
Your website stays yours.
Stay because it is working, not because you are locked in. Here is how that compares with some agency plans.

Before you decide.
Why $499?
$499 is for my first five client projects. It includes permission to feature your finished website in OakFrame’s work: screenshots, your business name and a link. A testimonial is welcome but never required, and the rate doesn’t depend on what you say.
Prefer not to be featured? Say so before we start and your proposal uses the standard rate. You can also ask to be removed later, at no charge.
Hosting & third-party costs
Your site is hosted in an account in your name. Website Care covers management; domain renewals, paid hosting and paid services are extra. Your proposal lists the costs and who pays each provider before the build.
Your files & cancelling care
Your domain and supplied content stay yours. Email me to cancel future monthly care charges: there is no cancellation fee, and cancelling never takes your website offline. You can take your files to another provider; extra migration work is quoted separately.
Will a redesign hurt my Google traffic?
It shouldn’t, and we plan for it. Where possible we keep your page addresses, titles and service text, redirect any address that changes, and check Search Console after launch. A redesign can’t guarantee higher rankings, and ongoing SEO campaigns aren’t included.
No obligation. A personal reply.
