Common questions
Why does a website cost £1,950 when template sites cost far less?
A site at the low end is a template with your words dropped in. A zuoshi site is designed for your business and built to order, phone first, with search foundations and a scored security check, and the domain and accounts are in your name. Launch, at £1,950, is the starting point for that.
Do I need a care plan?
No. Without one, the site is handed over with its code, hosting moves to your own account at your cost, and updates and security become yours to look after. With one, from £45 a month, hosting, updates, backups and a monthly security and search check are covered.
How do I pay for a build?
In three parts: a third when you sign, a third when the preview works, and a third at launch. Fees from other services, such as a domain or a payment provider, are passed on at cost.
How long is a quote valid for?
Sixty days, to a date written on the quote. Platform builds are always quoted from a written estimate of the work, never from the price list alone.
