FEES
CA$850.00 (US$700.00) for the build, which assumes the artist will provide all visual assets and written material.
It does not include vendor subscription costs for domain or web hosting. Monthly, domain hosting typically costs approximately $2-$5 and current Squarespace website hosting subscription fees can be seen HERE.
Once the site is launched we send a sign-off email with links to support resources to facilitate the on-going self-administration of your website. If you need, or prefer, support from us after the website is built - for edits and updates, admin-panel help, tutoring, etc. - we charge $85 per hour.
