There are no other hidden fees; however, we must collect sales tax for our Texas clients.

Yes. The contract is for two years. After that, the Website Subscription is provided on a month-to-month basis.

Everything most businesses and organizations will need is included.

• Domain of your choice (depending on availability)
• All pages and functionality listed in the Website Subscription Project Scope
• Fully managed website hosting
• Regular off-site backups to the cloud
• Regular website software updates
• Additional website security software from Wordfence.
• Three hours of edits/updates to the website per month.

The cost of three hours of edits per month alone is $300. Essentially, you get a $2700 website; monthly website hosting, off-site backups, and software maintenance; and a domain name for free!

This is a subscription service so Out of Nowhere retains ownership of the website.

The standard website with 12 pages will take about one month to complete. We call this time when we are building out the site the “Initial Build”. Most of this time, we will be waiting on you to send us content (text & images). If you provide content quickly, it could be sooner. If you expand the website subscription with additional features, it could take longer.

• You will work with our designer to choose the design style for the site.
• You will provide final text for the site (copy writing services are available for an additional fee).
• You will provide any images you want to appear on the site. (We can also provide stock photos to complement page content.)
• You will review the site and request edits and updates. You get as many edits as you want during the initial build.
• We will need you to secure accounts with third party vendors like Google, Wufoo, and Mail Chimp if you want to use these services. We can walk you through these choices.
• If you supply your own domain, you will need to point the domain to our host. If you give us access to your registrar, we can do this for you.
• We require automatic payments be set up for every Website Subscription. We will walk you through this procedure.

No need! We will make updates and edits to the website for you. We provide three hours of edits/updates per month as part of the Website Subscription. (We can get a lot done in three hours!) If you have more than three hours of edits to be completed, you may choose to delay the extra edits until the next month, or we can make additional edits immediately and bill separately for that work. Additionally, we can make you an editor of the site so you can edit text and images yourself.

We maintain our own host servers at Digital Ocean. We only host our web design clients’ websites. Each website is allocated 2 GB of hard drive space and 2 GB of bandwidth.

No, but for good reason. Website-hosted email is riddled with problems. It receives a lot of SPAM, it makes the server insecure, and it is famously unreliable. Securing free email service with your website host is a poor choice for organizations whose email is critical to business success. Don’t worry. You can still have email with your domain name. We recommend you secure services with a dedicated email service provider and we will help you point your domain email there. We recommend Google’s G Suite (http://goo.gl/0wBPhs). We have discount coupons. Just ask us and we’ll send you one.

We will create an account for you in our project management system. You will use it to upload text documents and images, to ask questions, and to communicate about website development.

A web page includes up to 300 words, 10 links, and 3 images. Pages with tables, forms, or lots of images are considered to be more complex and will increase the cost. We don’t enforce this on a page-by-page basis; rather, we look at averages. Some pages may be very short and other pages may be over the guidelines listed above. That is perfectly acceptable.

We need to receive all signed documents and the first month’s payment to get started.

• Contract (https://outofnowhere.net/pdf/Subscripton_Website_Contract.pdf) – The contract describes our agreement on how we work together.
• Proposal (https://outofnowhere.net/pdf/Subscription_Website_Scope.pdf) – The proposal describes the website we agree to build.
• Contact Information Sheet (https://outofnowhere.net/pdf/Subscription_Website_Contact_Information.pdf) The contact information sheet provides vital information to help us work and communicate with you.

We can give you a general idea of what how much time it will take to make specific edits and then after the edits, we will inform you of how much time you have remaining for the month.

We can use any domain you already have registered as long as you have access to the domain registrar. The domain DNS or “A” record must be pointed to our web host. We can send you these settings, or if you give us access to the registrar account, we will make these changes for you.

A responsive design is a web design approach aimed at building a website that works well across a wide range of devices (from mobile phones to desktop computers). This does not mean the site will look the same on different devices; just the opposite. A responsive design will adjust for the size of display. Our goal with a responsive design is for a viewer to have an easy and intuitive experience regardless of the device they are using.

Not yet. This is a brand-new product and we haven’t developed the e-commerce feature, yet. If you need to sell products from the website, we can work with you to create a solution.

Yes, we can set up some of these service for you. If it is a Premium service (it has a monthly charge) we will need your billing information to set up the account. Many of these providers require email confirmation that is timed, so we would need to coordinate a time that you can be available to make these confirmations.

We will start with asking you to choose from many different design templates. You pick the one(s) that most closely match the design you want. You then work with our designer to make it just how you want it. Keep in mind that we use WordPress to build the site. There are always limitations to design inherent in any software suite.

Yes, we can give you limited access to the WordPress backend. You will be able to edit text and images. We can provide you with training videos and assistance through email.
