* All plans are billed in advance β€” monthly or yearly, depending on your preference. There are no contracts, and you can cancel anytime. However, payments are non-refundable, meaning if you cancel during a paid period, the remaining time will not be refunded.

For the Mini eCommerce Rent to Own plan, you can sell products or services on your website with no transaction fees charged by us. Your store will be connected to Stripe for payment processing. Stripe charges their own fees on each order you receive (for example, currently 2.9% + 30Β’ per successful transaction for domestic cards). These rates are set by Stripe and may change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the payment process work?

All plans are billed upfront, Monthly or Yearly, depending on what works best for you. There are no contracts, and you’re free to cancel anytime. Please note: all payments are non-refundable. If you cancel partway through a paid period, the remaining time won’t be reimbursed.

What is a website rental service?

We design and build your website for FREE, and you pay a rental fee to keep it live. This includes hosting, maintenance, support, and ongoing content updates.

Who is this service ideal for?

Whether you're setting up a wedding registry, selling your home, or just need a personal page to promote yourself for a short term, this service is designed for anyone who wants a professional online presence without the hassle. It’s perfect for startups, tradies, cafes, restaurants, sports teams, real estate agents, and small to medium sized businesses looking to sell few products or services online. If you’re not tech savvy, don’t have time to manage a website, or simply don’t want to invest upfront without knowing if it’ll pay off, this flexible, rental based website model is made for you.

Is there a contract, and what if I want to cancel?

No contracts here β€” all Website Rental plans are month-to-month or yearly, depending on what suits you best. You can cancel at any time by emailing us at least 7 days before your next billing date. For monthly plans, your service will continue until the end of the paid month. For yearly plans, your service remains active until the end of the paid year. In both cases, no refunds are provided for unused time after cancellation. We don’t use direct debits. you’ll receive an invoice and pay when it is due. You’re in full control with no hidden fees or pressure. If you decide to return later after cancellation, we’ll charge a setup fee to get everything back online for you.

How long does it take to design and launch my website?

Our standard turnaround is 2 to 4 weeks from onboarding to go-live, depending on how quickly we receive your content and feedback. This includes onboarding, content prep, design, development, and testing. Timelines may vary based on project scope, but if you need a faster launch, let us knowβ€”we’re happy to explore accelerated options.

Do I need to buy my own domain name?

Yes, the domain needs to be purchased separately. We recommend using CrazyDomains for a simple and affordable setup. If you already own a domain, we’ll help connect it to your new website. If not, we’ll guide you through the purchase and setup process.

Will my website be responsive on mobile devices?

Absolutely. All our websites are fully mobile-responsive and optimised to look great and function smoothly across all devices, screen sizes, and browsers.

Do you offer SEO?

Yes, we include essential on-page and technical SEO in every website build. That means fast load times, clean code, mobile optimisation, and proper structure - giving your site the best chance to rank on Google.

Can I update the website myself?

No. Our service is designed to manage everything for you so you can focus on your business. All three plans include one free minor content update per month, while the Mini eCommerce plan includes weekly product updates handled by our team. Any major code or content changes fall outside these plans and will be discussed separately if required.

Do you provide email addresses or inboxes?

No, we don’t manage email services. We recommend using platforms like Google Workspace for your custom domain email. This keeps your email separate from your website, making it easier to manage and transfer if you ever decide to cancel our service in the future. We’re happy to guide you through the setup.

What happens if I stop paying or miss a payment?

You’re free to cancel anytime with no lock-in contractsβ€”but you must give at least 7 days’ notice before your next billing date. Late or missed payments may incur fees, and your website will be taken offline. If payments remain unresolved, your website will be permanently deleted. If you decide to return later, a small reactivation fee will apply to set everything up again.

Do you offer E-Commerce websites?

Yes β€” our Mini eCommerce Rent to Own plan is designed for small to medium businesses wanting to sell products or services online without any upfront payment. It includes a custom-built online store with up to 15 products, unlimited pages, and weekly product updates (up to 1 hour per week) managed by us, so you can focus on running your business.

You pay a flat monthly rental fee for 24 months. After completing these payments without interruption, you will fully own the website. From then on, you only pay Squarespace's monthly plan fee (currently around $39 USD, subject to change).

We also provide training and support to help you learn how to use the Squarespace CMS, so you can view orders, manage inventory, and track your store’s performance confidently.

If you plan to sell a high volume of products or need advanced eCommerce functionality, this is outside our current Website Rental plans. It will require a separate discussion and custom quote. We're happy to explore options with you.
