Questions

Is there a contract?

No. It's month to month. Cancel any time by email, and it ends at the end of the 4 weeks you've already paid for. You keep your files and your web address.

What's the total?

$199 every 4 weeks. Your web address and hosting are in that. If anything else ever carries an outside bill, I tell you the amount before you agree to it.

Why every 4 weeks?

A website has to stay online and stay current. Billing every 4 weeks means 13 payments a year instead of 12, and the date moves forward a couple of days each time. It's written in the agreement so nothing surprises you.

Who owns the site?

Your web address is yours. I hold it on my account while you're a client and move it into your name whenever you ask, even if you leave. Your photos, words and reviews are yours. If you leave, I zip up every file and send it to you.

Will the price go up?

Not while you stay. The only thing that can move it is a change in what I'm charged for hosting or your domain, and you'd get 60 days written notice first.

Can I pay for the year?

No, it's billed every 4 weeks. You can leave any time instead of being locked in for a year.

What if I need changes?

Text and photo swaps are included and live within two business days. Text them to me. New pages are included up to 10 in total. More than that, or a new feature, is quoted separately, and you'll know which is which before any work.

Will this get me more calls or put me on top of Google?

I don't promise that. It depends on things like your reviews and whether you answer the phone. What I promise is that when someone finds you, they don't lose you.

What do I need to send you?

Ten to fifteen photos of your work (phone photos are fine), your logo if you have one, your hours and the areas you serve, and the phone and email customers should use.

How long until it's live?

Three business days from when your photos and text reach me, not from when you pay.

What happens on the call?

About 10 minutes. You look at your site, ask me anything, and if it makes sense, you sign up with one link while we're on the phone.

Do you work with my kind of business?

Independent trade and local service businesses. Not beauty, restaurants, retail, medical or dental.

Who builds it

Lumen is one person: Baraa, in Queens, New York. I build your site and I keep it running.
