How Much Does It Cost?
The costs depend entirely on what you need - we've got something for everyone. Essentially there are three types of costs: General Design, Page Setup, and monthly subscription Package. You can mix and match to find the perfect combination for your needs.

Overview

There are three types of costs:

A professionaly designed website should communicate your story effectively through visually stimulating, emotionally engaging design. People do judge by what they say, so it's important to make a good impression. We recommend getting a custom design that will represent you well. Although we also provide a number of professional Free Design Skins, for those who don't have the budget to customize right away.

This is the part where you “move in” to your site: add pages about yourself, blog, write articles, add images, multimedia, team profiles and as many extra “My Pages” as you want. If your primary concern is budget, you can do all of that yourself right from your control panel. If your primary concern is professional design, time or you feel little overwhelmed, we offer setup packages to help you get your site populated quickly and beautifully.

The monthly package keeps your lights on and fridge running. It covers the basic server fees, email accounts and most importantly it is the licensing fee for using Gutensite to create and manage your site. It's much more affordable than building an independent site from the ground up (and more feature rich). It comes with free upgrades, maintenance and free customer service.

Domain Management: $50/yr

Domain Management is simple in theory, but can become a hassle over the long run. If you manage your own domains you just need to need to point them to our Name Servers, keep your contact information updated and keep track of renewal. We recommend enabling auto renewal, but you still have to keep your billing information updated or else you may lose your domain when it expires. If you worry about keeping track of your domain over five or more years, let us take care of the details.
