How the savings work

Both savings are available across project types when their conditions are met. Referral credits are non-cash.

How project pricing works

The price is attached to a defined result.

1

Free prototype

A focused preview helps confirm the direction before a complete build begins. It is not a finished website or unlimited design round.

2

Written quote

The approved direction becomes a specific list of pages, features, responsibilities, revisions, milestones, and exclusions.

3

Right-sized payments

Under $500 is normally paid in full. $500 to $999 uses 50/50. Builds of $1,000 or more use 25/50/25 unless a complex scope needs a custom written schedule.

Need smaller monthly payments? Approved build balances over $100 may request pay over time with 25% down. Balances over $100 and below $500 use six months, and balances of $500 or more can use up to 12 months. Complex work receives a custom written plan. An approved pay-over-time plan includes managed care until the build is paid.

Optional hosting and care

Choose managed care or a handoff.

Managed care keeps hosting and routine upkeep with Show Me. A self-managed handoff puts the provider account and ongoing responsibility in your control. Pay over time includes managed care until the build is paid.

Moving a current website?

The estimator prices the starting work, pages, and systems that must keep working.

Usable code supplied

Transfer setup starts at $75 after compatibility review. Existing forms, databases, accounts, payments, and connected services add setup work. Code transfers do not use Founding build offers.

No usable code

The current pages are priced as a rebuild or redesign, including the systems that must be recreated. Qualifying rebuilds can use a Founding offer.

What managed care covers

Open the details only if you need the boundary between routine upkeep and separately quoted work.

See what care includes and what stays separate

Routine care can include

  • One standard domain while hosted
  • Routine maintenance and form-delivery checks
  • Replacing supplied text or an image on an existing section
  • Correcting contact details, hours, links, or similar information

Quoted separately

  • New pages, sections, forms, roles, or integrations
  • Redesigns, repeated content entry, or meaningful new functionality
  • Premium domains, processor charges, and paid outside platforms
  • Business email service and account fees

Ownership & transfer

Paid work has a practical exit path.

After full payment, you own the approved site content and the custom project code created for your site. Reusable tools and outside products keep their original ownership and licenses.

A compatible handoff can be arranged after balances are paid. The written quote identifies any transfer work before it begins.

Common questions

Pricing without hidden fine print.

Does the free prototype include editable files?

No. It is a limited preview used to confirm direction. Editable project files are included only with approved paid work unless a written promotion says otherwise.

Can a later Founding project include an admin panel or customer accounts?

Yes. The later 50% off openings can include focused customer or business tools after the requested features are reviewed. Very large systems may be split into phases or priced outside the promotion so the plan remains realistic.

What maintenance, domain coverage, and updates come with hosting?

Every Show Me Web Design hosting option includes one standard domain registration or renewal while hosted, routine maintenance, and an agreed allowance for small updates to the existing site. Typical requests include swapping supplied photos or wording and correcting contact details, hours, or links. New pages, redesigns, forms, integrations, repeated content entry, and meaningful new functionality receive a separate estimate.

What is the difference between a feature build and monthly care?

The one-time project estimate covers building the approved feature. Optional monthly care is separate. Simple-site managed care starts at $10 per month. Managed-system care starts at $20 because databases, publishing controls, accounts, payments, and custom tools require more involved upkeep. Booking, customer accounts, payment connections, unusual usage, and outside platforms can increase that amount after review, and every recurring amount is shown in the written quote.

Does hosting include business email?

No. Show Me Web Design does not sell or host business email accounts. Clients can use the email provider they prefer, and that provider’s account and charges remain separate from website hosting.

How do the site credit and referral savings work?

The optional “Built by Show Me Web Design” credit can reduce any project scope by 5%. A valid submitted referral code can reduce any project scope by 10% and creates a $50 account credit for the referrer after the referral becomes a paid project. Both savings may be combined with current launch pricing after their conditions are confirmed. Referral credits can be used for hosting or future work and are not paid as cash.

Can the price change after work starts?

The approved scope does not change without written agreement. If you request work outside it, you receive a change estimate before that work begins.

Is hosting included in a Founding build price?

No. Founding prices cover the one-time website build. Managed hosting and care are priced separately if selected. Your written quote states the monthly amount and update allowance before work begins.

Is Show Me Web Design required for future updates?

No. After full payment and handoff, another provider can maintain the approved site. Outside products and hosted platforms may have their own restrictions.

Let’s match the budget to the real goal.

A smaller, focused first release is often more useful than an oversized plan that never launches.
