How it works

  1. A web professional builds a preview of your new website from your business details.
  2. You review the preview and pin a comment on anything you want changed. Nothing goes live until you approve it.
  3. You approve it and pay at the price on their storefront, and they look after your site from then on.

Your business details stay yours, and your domain can point anywhere at any time.
