Help with Hosting or Domain Names

For simple sites, I offer optional hosting for $75/year through my developer platform, with full domain connection and support. With my hosting your URL will default to "yourprojectname.replit.app" but if you want a custom domain name, you'd just purchase one, give me the domain details, and I will handle integration to use your custom domain name. For more complex projects, I’ll help guide you through setting up your own hosting and domain with a trusted, capable host service so you can maintain full control and have access to further scalability.

How It Works

A simple and transparent process from first message to final launch.

Step 1: Choose a Package (Or Reach Out with Questions)

Browse the available packages on this site and select the one that best fits your needs. Not sure where to start or have something unique in mind? No problem—just reach out through the contact form with your ideas or questions.

Step 2: Submit the Contact Form

Fill out the contact form with either:

  • The package you're interested in, and/or
  • A description of your project goals, preferred timeline, and any special features or needs

The more detail you can provide upfront, the faster I can get you an accurate quote!

Step 3: I’ll Follow Up with a Detailed Estimate & Timeline

Once I review your inquiry:

  • If I have enough info, I’ll send you a customized estimate and proposed timeline.
  • If not, I’ll reach out to schedule a quick conversation or send a few quick questions to clarify the scope.

You’ll receive a clear breakdown of services, costs, add-ons (if applicable), and a projected launch window.

Step 4: Proposal & Agreement

Once we’re aligned, I’ll draft a formal proposal and service agreement. This includes:

  • Scope of work
  • Deliverables
  • Timeline & milestones
  • Payment terms
  • Revisions policy
  • Ownership & transfer terms

We both sign the agreement digitally to lock in the project.

Step 5: Project Kickoff

  • A 50% deposit is due to begin work.
  • You’ll receive regular updates throughout development.
  • Shared client workspace or preview links to monitor progress and give feedback.

Step 6: Final Delivery & Launch

  • We’ll do a final walkthrough and apply final tweaks or revisions.
  • Once approved, I’ll deploy the site live or deliver files/code if hosted elsewhere.
  • The remaining 50% balance is due before the site goes live.

You’ll receive full access credentials, documentation, and optional training if your site uses a CMS.

Standard Terms at a Glance

  • 💰 50% deposit at contract signing, 50% balance due at completion
  • 🔄 Up to 2 rounds of revisions included in all packages
  • 🛠️ Ownership rights transfer to you upon full payment
  • 🔒 All projects are confidential and handled with care
  • 📅 Timelines may shift slightly based on client feedback or added features
  • ✅ Final product is tested for responsiveness, browser compatibility, and basic SEO setup
⚠️ Working with existing code?
If your project involves updating or fixing a site built by another developer, my hourly rate is $100/hour due to the extra time and care needed to work safely with legacy or third-party code.
