The year-two bill What it actually costs
What it actually costs
once the free year ends.
Every builder quotes a first-year price. The bill that matters arrives in year two, after the free domain expires and the apps you needed are on autopay. These platform examples assume a four-page business site, annual billing, and one email address. Our private studio currently focuses on one custom homepage.

- $35 plan, then $20 to $70 a year for the domain
- About $6 a month for business email
- Email campaigns from $14 a month
- Ticket queue. Nearly half of one-star reviews are about support.
- Content export only, not the site
$XX/mo
- Your domain at registrar cost, about $11 a year for a .com. No markup.
- Email not bundled. We point you to a $6 option and take nothing.
- One custom homepage. Publishing and additional pages are outside this private release.
- Email a founder in Dover, NH. Reply within one business day.

Wix and Squarespace figures are their published annual-billing rates and add-on prices as of September 2026, compiled from hostadvice.com, websitebuilderexpert.com, and itechguides.com; totals assume one email user and two typical add-ons. Review percentages are from UENI's August 2026 analysis of 600 one-star Trustpilot reviews. Vendors change prices often. GoDaddy is not shown because its headline rates are first-year promotions that roughly double at renewal.

Already have a website? Import its public pages and review the content we can read. Keep what makes your business recognizable, then give it a new visual expression. Add your own logo and photographs to make the work unmistakably yours.
The design studio is private while we develop it. This release generates a homepage only. Drafts are never published automatically.
42%
of one-star reviews across the major builders are about support that never answered. One in nine describe an AI assistant standing between the customer and a human.
The people
Stuck? You reach a person, not a bot.
The Studio is run by the two people who built it. When you email, Hutson Jones or Gardner Thornhill reads it and replies within one business day. If the answer is "let us fix that for you," that's what happens. And if the Studio isn't the right fit, you'll hear that too, along with what is.

Before you sign up
Questions owners ask.
Is the design studio open to everyone?
Not yet. The studio is private while we develop and test the new experience. You can request early access below. Public pricing has not been set.
Do I choose a template?
No. There are no templates or preset design directions. Ten detailed answers shape a creative brief, and the designer generates a new homepage composition for your business.
Do I need to know how to code or design?
No. Explain your business, audience, personality, goals, and preferences in your own words. Review the complete brief, generate a homepage, and refine your answers to explore another version.
What if I already have a website?
Paste its address. The studio reads up to six public pages and gathers text, images, colors, contact details, and links. You can review and remove imported pages. Protected pages and some JavaScript-only content cannot be imported.
What does it generate?
One custom landing page or homepage. This release does not generate additional pages, publish websites, connect domains, or provide a hosted form inbox. It uses real supplied links for booking, email, phone, and other actions.
Can I take my homepage elsewhere?
Yes. Download an HTML homepage with its styles, fonts, and uploaded images included. Imported photographs retain their original URLs. Review the design, copy, and links before publishing it on your chosen host.
