The terms, in plain words

Everything a subscription usually hides is on this page. Open any of them.

What do I pay when the promotion ends?

The same as you pay today. RM99 stays RM99, RM169 stays RM169 and RM299 stays RM299, for as long as you keep the plan. The promotional rate is the rate you keep, not an introductory rate that jumps in month thirteen.

The 30 November date is the last day to join at these figures. It is not a countdown on your own price.

Is there a minimum term or a lock-in?

No minimum term. Pay monthly, stop whenever you like. Give us a month's notice and we will keep the site up through the notice period so nothing goes dark while you decide what is next.

We will never change your price without telling you a full month before it happens.

If I stop paying, what happens to my website?

It comes with you. We export the whole site as files, hand you the content, and point your domain wherever you tell us to. There is nothing to pay for the handover and we will not hold anything back.

We would rather you left cleanly and came back later than felt trapped. A studio that has to lock the door is telling you something about the work behind it.

Can I own it outright instead of subscribing?

Yes, and you can decide either way. Buy it outright from the start at the prices in § 01 below and it is yours from the day it goes live. Or start on a plan and buy it out later. Here is exactly how the second one works, because most studios will not tell you.

  • From month twelve you can ask for a buyout figure any time. There is no deadline and no obligation.
  • Half of everything you have paid comes off the price. Only half, because the other half was buying your hosting, your edits and your support, not the build.
  • The figure never drops below half the list price. That is the floor. We will not pretend the site eventually becomes free, because it does not.
  • Hosting and support carry on afterwards if you want them. Buying it out transfers the code, the files and the domain into your name. It does not have to end the working relationship, and most people keep the care plan.

On a RM2,500 site at RM99 a month: after a year you would have paid RM1,188, so RM594 comes off and the buyout is RM1,906. After two years it is RM1,312. From there it settles at RM1,250 and stays there.

Worth being straight about the trade: if you always intended to own the site, buying it outright on day one is cheaper. The plan exists so you do not have to find a lump sum, and that convenience has a price. We would rather you knew that before you chose.

What counts as a change, and how fast?

Text, photographs, prices, opening hours, a new team member, a new service, a seasonal banner. Send it on WhatsApp and it is done.

  • Essential Unlimited requests, one at a time, done within two working days
  • Advanced Unlimited requests, done by the next working day
  • Commerce Same day on anything sent before 3pm

A new page, a new feature or a redesign is a project rather than a change, and we will quote it before doing anything.

How long until it is live?

Most sites go live in seven to fourteen working days from the day we have your content. Stores take longer, usually three to four weeks, because products and payments have to be tested properly.

You see a working preview of your actual site on a real link well before launch, and nothing goes live until you have said yes to it.

What is not covered by the monthly fee?
All plans
Your domain name

You pick it, we advise on it, we register it in your name and handle the propagation. Roughly RM60 to RM150 a year, paid to the registrar, never marked up by us.

Advanced and Commerce
Supplementary database fees

If your volumes outgrow the included capacity, the extra is passed on at cost. You hear about it from us before it arrives, never after.

Commerce
Payment gateway fees

Whatever Stripe, Billplz or your bank charges per transaction goes to them directly. We take no percentage of anything you sell.

All plans
Advertising spend

Google or Meta budget is yours and paid to them. We are happy to set the campaigns up, quoted separately.

What if I need software later, not just a website?

Then you are already talking to the people who build it. The same studio that runs your five page site builds sales systems, booking engines and fleet platforms, so nothing has to be rebuilt or handed to a stranger when the business outgrows the website.

Every month on a plan puts RM50 aside as credit against custom software. A year in, that is RM600 off a build. It is our way of saying we would rather grow with you than sell you a website and disappear.

§ 01

Websites and storefronts

Bought outright and yours from the day it goes live. These are starting figures for a project of that shape, not a menu. What comes back is itemised against what you actually asked for.

01

Landing page

One page with one job. Built to take an enquiry, a booking or a call, with everything else stripped out of the way.

fromRM800
02

Business website

Up to five pages. Home, about, services, work and contact, custom designed and built to be found in search.

fromRM1,200
03

Multi-page website

Seven pages or more, with deeper service pages, a journal or updates, and room to keep growing into.

fromRM1,600
04

Online store with an admin

Products, cart, checkout and online payments, with a proper back office for orders, stock and customers.

fromRM2,000
§ 02

Business software and apps

Replacing one spreadsheet is a different job from running a fleet. These are the two shapes most projects take, and the figure moves on how many moving parts have to stay in step.

05

Business software

One job, built for the people who do it. A sales CRM, a booking engine, stock or job tracking, an internal admin that finally replaces the spreadsheet everyone is afraid to touch.

fromRM4,000
06

Enterprise software

Several parts of the business in one system, with roles, permissions, reporting and an audit trail. Fleet platforms, multi-branch operations, anything that has to talk to what you already run.

fromRM8,000
Before we quote

Five things we ask

Answer these on a free call and an itemised quote comes back in writing, scoped to exactly that. If a simpler build would do the job, we will say so, and it will cost you less.

  1. 01How many people will use it, and from where
  2. 02What it replaces, and what happens to that today
  3. 03Whether it has to talk to software you already run
  4. 04How much information it holds, and for how long
  5. 05Whether it has to work properly on a phone
§ 03

Care and hosting

Optional on anything bought outright, and already part of both subscription plans. The cost follows what is running underneath, so a five page site and a fleet platform are never the same number.

Everything kept running, by us

Hosting, SSL, backups, security updates, uptime monitoring, and a person to make the change when you need one.

  • Priced on your architecture, not a flat guess
  • Cancel whenever you like
  • We hand the site over on the way out
fromRM99per month

What we never charge for

You should be able to find out whether we are the right people without it costing you anything.

The first conversationA call or a WhatsApp thread to work out what you actually need. Often that is not the thing you rang about.
The quoteItemised, in writing, scoped to what we discussed. Nothing padded into it and no obligation attached.
A preview and a proposalFor website projects we design a preview of how your site will look and work, and write you a proposal to go with it, so you can picture the finished thing before you commit to anything.
Changes during a sprintWhile we are still building it, steering it is part of the job. Revisions only become a separate cost after sign-off.
§ 04

Frequently asked questions

Including the one everybody wants to ask and usually does not, which is why two projects that sound identical on the phone can be a thousand ringgit apart.

Q.01

What makes one project cost more than another?

Six things, mostly, and you can usually work out in advance which way yours will go.

  • How many pages. Five pages is nothing like five times one page. The first page carries most of the design, and every page after it is cheaper than the one before.
  • Who writes the words. If the copy and the photographs are ready, we move faster and it costs less. If you would rather we wrote them, that is real work and it goes on the quote.
  • Whether it takes money or has logins. Payments, accounts and anything a customer signs into add work that is invisible from the outside and unavoidable underneath.
  • Whether it talks to what you already run. Accounting software, a POS, a supplier feed, an existing database. Usually the most useful part of a build, and usually the least predictable.
  • How settled the idea is. A clear brief is cheaper than a moving one. That is not a criticism, most good ideas move. It is the reason we consult first and quote second.
  • How soon you need it. Normal timelines cost normal money. A fixed date usually means reordering other work, and the quote will say so rather than hide it.
Q.02

Is it cheap because it is templated?

No. Nothing we ship started life as a template. The subscription plans are affordable because the architecture underneath is deliberately simple, not because the design is borrowed. A five page site that does one job well has no need of a heavy system behind it, and we would rather build the right size than sell you a bigger one.

Q.03

What is the difference between subscribing and buying outright?

The same website either way. On a subscription you pay monthly and hosting, edits and support are part of it, with no lump sum and no lock-in. Bought outright it is yours from day one and care is optional on top. You can also start on a plan and ask us to price a buyout after twelve months. The terms above spell all three out.

Q.04

Can I start small and add to it later?

That is the whole idea. Start on Essential, move to Advanced when the business needs a backend, and to Commerce when it starts selling online. Each step is a change of plan rather than a rebuild, and nothing has to be built twice.

Q.05

Why is there no fixed price for software?

Because any single number we printed would be wrong for most of the people reading it. The two starting figures above are honest floors. We would rather ask five questions on a free call and give you a real number than publish one that quietly assumes a project nobody has discussed yet.

Q.06

What if my budget is under everything on this page?

Tell us anyway. We will say honestly whether it can be done for that, and if it cannot, we will tell you what it would take and what you could do instead in the meantime. A straight answer costs you one message.

Q.07

Do you take payment in stages?

Yes. Project work is normally split across the build rather than paid up front, and the schedule is written into the quote so there are no surprises later. The subscription plans are simply monthly.

Q.08

What happens after it is live?

Nothing you have to pay for unless you want to. Care and hosting is optional on outright projects and included in the subscriptions. When what you need changes we are here. Some clients call once a year and others never do, and both are fine.
