Work out what you are paying for
Most owners cannot say what their website costs them per month. The money leaves in small pieces, from several cards, often to companies they have never spoken to.
Make the list first
Write down every charge against the site: the platform plan, the theme license, each paid add-on, the form tool, the pop-up tool, the booking widget, the analytics upgrade nobody looks at. Add the domain registration and hosting separately, because those are real costs of being on the internet and they stay with you wherever you go.
| Keeps the lights on | Rented convenience |
|---|---|
| Your domain registration | Platform subscription |
| Hosting the site somewhere | Theme and plugin licenses |
| Email for your business | Widgets patching gaps in the platform |
The second column is the one a rebuild empties. When your build is yours, the features live inside it rather than being rented monthly from five different companies.
What that is worth
From our own rebuild work, clients save between $75 and $650 a month after a rebuild. The spread is wide because the starting point is: a simple brochure site saves the least, and a site held together by a dozen paid add-ons saves the most.
What you pay us is once, for the build, at the bands on rebuild cost. There is no subscription to us afterwards. Anything beyond that is covered at your consultation and in your agreement.
