Custom code or Wix: which should I pick?
Custom code costs less to build, its hosting is free, and you change wording and photos with your own login. Wix costs more and bills you its own monthly fee, and in return you can move things around and change the layout yourself. If you are not sure, ask for the mock-up and decide after.
What is the catch at $50?
$50 is an introductory price while I build a portfolio, and in return I ask to show your finished site as an example of my work. You pay only after you have seen the finished site, and the domain, the hosting account (or the Wix account) and the site files are in your name.
Can I add updates later, or cancel them?
You can move from Build and hand off to Kept up to date at any time. Kept up to date has no minimum term, and if you cancel, the site stays up because the hosting is free and in your name.
What happens to my domain and my email?
You keep your domain. At launch, only the setting that points the domain at the website changes. Your email settings are left alone, so email keeps working.
