The things people actually ask.

Because you're buying a different thing. Wix rents you a template and leaves you to do the work; the $99 site is a template with your logo dropped in; your nephew is free right up until he's busy. A Next Floor Studios site is designed for your organization specifically, built by hand on a foundation with nothing to break, and then maintained every month by the builder who made it. The price isn't for the pages, it's for the site still being fast, current, and answered a year from now.

A custom site has no page-builder admin panel, which is why it stays fast and doesn't break. The trade is that changes go through us. The care plan is how the site stays alive: hosting, security updates, monitoring, backups, and your monthly content changes. Without it, a site goes stale the day it launches, so we don't sell builds without one.

A content edit up to about 30 minutes - updating text, swapping photos, editing an existing section, posting an announcement. New pages, new features, and redesigns aren't changes; they're add-ons or a new build. Each plan has a monthly cap: 2 on Care, 6 on Care Plus, 12 on Care Pro.

Because we make every change by hand, in your real site, not in a page builder. Your edits go straight to the builder, not into a queue. The cap is what keeps that quick and honest. If you need more in a busy month, extra changes are $50 each or $200 for a five-pack.

The builder who made it. There is no support queue, no offshore ticket system, no hand-off, and no corporate overhead. You email the change; it gets made, checked, and published by someone who knows your site end to end.

You do. We register and hold the domain as part of setup, one less account for you to manage, and we transfer it to you whenever you ask. No fee, no argument, and no waiting for anything to end first. The site itself is yours the same way.

You keep the site. Hosting is part of the plan, so you would need somewhere to run it - we hand the site and the domain over and help you make the move. What stops is the maintenance: updates, monitoring, backups, and your monthly changes. There is no term to serve out and no exit fee. The plan is how the site stays current, not a way to keep hold of it.

It depends on the tier and, honestly, on how quickly the content comes together - words, photos, and logins are what stretch website projects, not the building. At intake we list exactly what we need from you, and the proposal comes back with a timeline attached to it.

Central Ohio is home and where we can meet in person, but the whole service runs over email, so remote works fine. Referrals from anywhere are welcome.

That's the Custom tier, quoted per project from $3,500. Payments run through Stripe's hosted checkout in your own Stripe account - your money never routes through ours. And where a platform you already use does the job well, we'll say so and link out instead of rebuilding it.
