How long does the build take?
Up to 72 working hours from kickoff. Custom imagery and content scraping run in parallel with the build. Speed depends mostly on how quickly you can hand over assets and approvals.
Who owns the website?
You do. The site, copy, and any commissioned imagery are yours, no work-for-hire ambiguity. Third-party assets such as Google Fonts and licensed Artlist video carry their original licenses through your build.
Is there a minimum time engagement?
No. The monthly retainer is month-to-month, cancel anytime with no fee. The website itself, copy, and any commissioned imagery stay yours regardless of whether you stay on retainer.
What do I get for what price?
$997 flat for the full custom website build, one firm, one design, one careful build. $297 per month covers hosting, SSL, security, and three small content updates each month, copy edits, image swaps, hour changes, and the like.
Will my current website's content transfer?
Yes. Every Jolie-Lawyer build starts from your existing published material, scraped verbatim. Nothing is invented or paraphrased, your voice carries through. We can also migrate your existing domain and email if you have them.
Can I add services like ads or SEO optimization?
Yes. Optional add-ons include SEO optimization, Google Ads campaign setup and management, and additional content writing. Each is scoped and priced separately. None is required to keep the base retainer.
What if I want more than three changes a month?
Additional touches beyond the included three are billed at a per-task rate. Most firms find three is plenty for ongoing care, if you need more, we scope before charging so there are no surprise invoices.
Is the payment secured?
Yes. Every payment runs through Stripe, a PCI-compliant third-party processor. We never see, handle, or store your card details, Stripe does, and they're audited at the highest financial-industry level.
