SkyFynd
We designed and built your custom website. There are a few different ways to keep it online — from fully hands-off to fully do-it-yourself. Here's an honest, side-by-side look so you can pick what fits your budget and your time.
Use the controls below to plug in real numbers and see what each path actually costs over time.
Switch plan tiers on each card to see how pricing and features change. "Who does the work" and "Design control" show the trade-off behind the price.
If Aline would rather not have us host the site, we simply hand off the finished files and she runs them on hosting in her own name. The custom design stays exactly as built. There are two routes — free developer-grade hosts, or a traditional hosting account — plus one honest catch.
Same tech we already use — set up in her name.
Unlimited bandwidth even on the free plan, global CDN. Deploys via Git or CLI — no drag-and-drop, so it's developer-oriented.
Free tier (~100 GB/mo). Friendliest for hand-off — files can be drag-dropped in, and form handling is built in.
Free and simple, but the most limited (1 GB repo, ~100 GB/mo) and tied to a code repo.
Skip Vercel's free tier — it restricts commercial use; a business site needs its $20/mo plan.
The "normal business account in her name" route.
She buys the account, we upload the files once via the File Manager or FTP. She holds the login, pays the host directly, owns it outright. Add a domain (~$15/yr). Note the renewal jump after year one (shown after the arrow).
This is GoDaddy's web hosting product — different from their website builder, which can't take your files.
The real deciding factor.
Putting the files online is trivial on any host above. The hard part is future changes. Because the site is a static file, every new before-and-after photo, price tweak or text edit means re-editing the file and re-uploading it — not something done from a simple dashboard.
So "Aline hosts it herself" almost always still means she comes back to us (or a technical person) for edits. She's paying a host for delivery instead of paying us for the whole package.
That gap is exactly what the SkyFynd membership covers: she emails us the change, we make it. No logins, no uploads.
Note: WordPress isn't on this list on purpose. WordPress is a content system for sites you log in and edit — overkill for a single custom page like yours. These hosts serve your actual file as-is, which is simpler and cheaper.

Your custom site stays exactly as we built it. Hosting, the domain, security, backups, software updates and content edits are all on us. You email us a new before-and-after photo, we post it. No logins, no plugins, no surprises — one predictable monthly price. This is the right pick if your time is worth more than the small monthly saving.
We hand you the finished files and you run them on hosting in your own name — free on a static host, or a few dollars a month on a traditional account. The custom design stays exactly as built, and it's truly yours. The catch: you own and manage the hosting account, and any future edit means re-uploading the files — which in practice still comes back to us. Best if you want full ownership and don't change the site often.
The website builders — Wix, GoDaddy and Squarespace — sit in the middle: easy drag-and-drop editing and hosting included, but a recurring monthly fee, renewal price jumps after year one, and your site gets rebuilt on their template rather than keeping the custom design. Good if you want to manage everything yourself in a simple editor and don't mind a different look.
