Website Design and Production Service Plans
Each tier builds on the previous one, offering increasing levels of customization, features, and support. All tiers include core design (wireframing, UI/UX, and visual elements) and production (development, testing, and launch).

• Standalone Ownership Option: In Tiers 1-3, clients can opt for full ownership of the website files and code upon completion, with no ongoing fees (one-time payment only). This means they handle hosting, updates, and maintenance themselves.

• Maintenance Plans: Available as add-ons in Tiers 1-3 or included in Tiers 4-5. Maintenance covers hosting, security updates, content edits (up to a set number of hours/month), backups, and performance monitoring. Pricing is illustrative and can vary based on scope.

Additional Notes

• Customization: All tiers can be adjusted based on client needs (e.g., adding e-commerce to lower tiers for an upcharge).

• Process Overview: Each plan follows a standard workflow: Discovery (requirements gathering) → Design → Production → Testing → Launch → Maintenance.

• Ownership Details: For standalone options, clients receive all source files, domain transfer assistance, and basic documentation. No vendor lock-in.

• Why Tiers?: This structure allows clients to choose based on budget, complexity, and preference for independence vs. hands-off management.
