How do payments work – do you require a deposit?

Pay in full, deposit, 12-month financing, or subscribe online — or milestone billing on custom quotes. Monthly plans cancel anytime.

Payment terms depend on how you hire us.

Fixed packages (menu, hosting, SEO)

On /menu, /hosting, and /seo, checkout supports:

OptionHow it works
Pay in fullOne secure payment; work starts after confirmation
DepositPartial payment now, balance due before launch or per invoice schedule
12-month financingSpread eligible one-time project fees across twelve monthly payments (consent required at checkout)
SubscribeMonthly plans for hosting, SEO, retainers, and similar recurring services — cancel anytime

Deposits secure your slot and cover kickoff work. They are non-refundable once we begin — see refund policy.

Custom projects & quotes

For scoped work outside packages, we typically use:

StructureWhen we use it
50% deposit / 50% at completionCommon for smaller custom projects
Milestone billingLonger builds — e.g. deposit, mid-project, pre-launch
Retainer prepayMonthly or quarterly for ongoing hours

Everything is written in the proposal before work begins.

Methods & currency

We invoice in USD via secure online checkout (card and supported bank methods). Texas clients may owe applicable sales tax — we note that on the invoice.
