Do I need to provide my own website content and photos?

Lightning Launch includes basic content guidance and an existing professionally designed layout; Professional includes more hands-on writing assistance and stock-photo support; First Class includes extensive copywriting and stock-photo support.
Can I customize my website's colors, fonts, layout, and images?
Absolutely! Your website can reflect your business's branding, style, and personality. The level of customization depends on your website package, but options may include colors, fonts, page layouts, and images. You can also provide your own suitable images and content.
Can I add more pages later?
Yes! Additional pages can be added to your website. Pricing ranges from $69 to $89 per page, depending on your website package and the work involved.
Can I add special features, widgets, or third-party integrations?
Yes! Depending on your needs, your website may be enhanced with features such as booking tools, forms, payment options, galleries, chat widgets, review displays, email marketing tools, and other third-party integrations. Availability, compatibility, and any additional costs depend on the feature and your website's requirements. We'll help you determine what's possible and what makes sense for your business.
Are hosting and maintenance included in the setup price?

Can I cancel my monthly plan?
