Hosting & pricing

This page answers one question: do you want to rent your website forever, or pay once and own it?

One and Done.

Look, we like you-we really do-but we're just not looking for a long-term financial relationship right now. It's not you, it's the mission.

Model Initial Cost After 1 Year After 2 Years After 5 Years After 10 Years
Monthly Subscriptions (You get to do all the work, fun!) $30 - $90 $360-$1,188 $720-$2,376 $1,800-$5,940 $3,600-$11,880
TWIZT.SHOP Flat Build (One-Time Fee, and you dont have to learn what a dns is) $1,500 $0 $0 $0 $0

The Bottom Line: Monthly platform subscriptions keep stacking up. A standard recurring plan can overtake a flat build by year 2, and the gap keeps widening at years 5 and 10.

What Projects Cost

  • Total Cost: $1,500
  • The Split: Half upfront ($750) to start, and half at handoff ($750) upon completion.
  • Monthly Platform Subscriptions: $0.

What’s Included: The 20-Hour Cap

20 Dedicated Work Hours: Your flat fee includes up to 20 hours of hands-on design, customization, content placement, and setup. Because our framework process gives us a massive head start, 20 hours is more than enough time to fine-tune a standard layout and launch.

If Extra Time is Needed: In the rare event that major structural overhauls or extra features push the project past those 20 hours, additional work is billed at our standard freelance rate of $75/hour. We track this transparently and will always warn you before hitting the cap—no surprise bills.

The Standard Back-and-Forth

To keep the project moving forward efficiently without rushing you, we establish a steady development rhythm. We aim to meet twice a week to review progress, track our development hours, and make decisions together so the project never drags out.

  1. The Pivot & Polish

    We tweak, change, and refine the layout framework based on your direct feedback.

  2. Your Brand Integration

    You provide your business text, logo, and photos to replace the placeholders and personalize the site.

  3. Final Review

    We do a quick final walkthrough on both mobile and desktop to ensure everything looks sharp before we launch.

The Fine Print (Future & Third-Party Costs)

Future Changes

Post-launch scope

All guided revisions and launch handoffs are completed within your initial project scope. Any future requested changes or additions down the road after launch are quoted separately.

Third-Party Infrastructure (Accounts in Your Name)

  • Domain Registration: Usually ~$12 to $30/year. This is an unavoidable recurring fee paid directly to a registrar to keep your web address active. A standard .com is always the best and cheapest option.
  • Hosting: Can be $0 on Cloudflare for standard brochure and service sites.
  • Code & Data Ownership: At launch and handoff, your finished site code lives in your GitHub and Cloudflare accounts—not on our preview host.

I'M IN! What do I do next?

Two checkpoints: a short list to start the build, and a separate list for launch and handoff when the site goes on your domain.

To start (after your 50% deposit)

  1. Project kickoff payment (50% up front)

    To start production work, we collect half up front. The remaining 50% is due at launch and handoff.

  2. Your brand materials

    Send your business text, logo, and photos (or tell us what to draft). We plug them into the layout during the build.

  3. Review on a private preview

    While we work, you review on a private preview link—not on your live domain yet. You do not need a GitHub repo or Cloudflare project on day one.

At launch & handoff (final 50%)

  1. Final payment & go-live

    When you approve the preview, we collect the remaining 50%, point your domain at the finished site, and walk you through how updates work.

  2. GitHub (you own the repo)

    Create a GitHub account if you do not have one. We either push the finished site into a repository you create, or transfer a repo we prepared—either way, you keep it. If you create the repo yourself: Settings → Collaborators (or Collaborators and teams) → Add people and invite github.com/TWIZT-SHOP only while we are wiring handoff (you can remove us after).

  3. Cloudflare (you own hosting + domain)

    Create a Cloudflare account in your name. Buy your domain there (or keep your current registrar and point DNS to Cloudflare). We connect Cloudflare Pages to your repo and attach your domain on a short call—or you follow a written checklist we leave behind.

Disclaimer: Numbers shown are examples for comparison. Final project pricing depends strictly on scope, complexity, and required features. Domain renewals and third-party infrastructure prices vary by provider and can change over time.
