The questions people ask before working with us — cost, timeline, and what “you own it” actually means. Already a client? Head to the Support Center for portal and account help.
There are two ways in. The Launch Kit is $100 total: you build the site yourself with our templates and AI tools, and the $100 comes back as $150 of Mission Control credit when you go live. The Full Launch is $1,497 done-for-you: designed, built, and battle-tested before you pay. Either way, a $100 refundable deposit is all you put down up front — the balance waits until you have test-driven the finished site.
A done-for-you Full Launch is typically ready to test-drive in about a week of business days, and a Launch Kit site can be live in as little as 3 business days. You get a concrete date estimate when you configure your site, and you only pay the balance after you have tried the finished site.
We are based in Painesville, Ohio and serve small businesses across Lake County and Northeast Ohio — Painesville, Mentor, Willoughby, Cleveland, and nearby. The whole process also works remotely, so we build for businesses anywhere.
Yes. The domain is registered in your name and the code is yours — no lock-in. Your $100 deposit is refundable any time, even after launch (minus card processing fees), and there is no required monthly fee to keep the site you paid for.
There is no required monthly fee. Hosting-only is $19 a month if you want pro hosting without a care plan, optional care plans (monitoring, maintenance and optimization) start at $49 a month if you want us actively watching and improving the site, and a Full Launch includes the first year as a $441 credit. Paying yearly gets you 3 months free. Nothing charges without you signing up for it, cancelling is self-serve, and cancelling never takes your site down.
The plan price matches what your site is, not a menu you pick from, and most sites stay at $49 a month. Hosting-only, with no care plan, is $19 a month. Sites with moving parts, like customer logins, bookings, payments, or a database behind them, are $99 a month. Sites that are really applications, with several user roles or heavy traffic, are $249 a month, and a person decides that one; it never happens automatically. Worry-Free, at $499 a month, adds a monthly human review with needed fixes included, and is also decided by a person. Growth is a good problem to have: before any increase we reach out to you personally to talk it through, and nothing is ever billed automatically. New features are added to your plan free as they launch, with no price increase while your plan is active.
Yes — that is the point of Mission Control. You describe the change in plain English, preview it on a staging copy of your site, and publish when you are happy. No code, no waiting on a developer, and a typical change costs a dollar or two.
Yes. We rebuild your site as one you actually own, and you keep your domain and your Google presence. Start at weblaunchacademy.com/switch to see exactly what changes and what it costs.
