Founder pricing is open.

What all three include

This is the foundation for every plan Kirrby Studio offers.

Everything below comes with all three plans.

• Hosting, your domain connected, certificates, daily backups kept for about two weeks, security checks and the fixes they call for. The unglamorous half, handled. No check can promise complete security.
• Your site built to be found, in search and by the AI assistants people ask instead of searching. Standard on all three plans, not something you climb a ladder to get.
• What you already run, connected. Booking, calendar, payments. If it can be linked to the site, I link it. The accounts stay yours and you carry on running them.
• Your own back end. Your hours, prices, photos and the words on a page, changed by you the moment you want them changed, alongside your numbers and two generators, one for images and one for copy.*
• A proper sit-down on the site, where you bring everything you want done and I do the work. How often it comes round is the main thing separating the three plans.*
• Seasonal changes, on dates you pick. Two a year on Steady, four on Care and Growth. A real redesign for the season, and the site goes back to how it was when the season ends.*
• I keep an eye on things. Anything broken, or wrong in something I made, gets fixed once I find it or you tell me, whether or not you’ve noticed.
• I make every effort to be there Monday to Friday, excluding US federal holidays, and I tell you before I’m away. Looking at something and finishing it are different things, and I’ll tell you which one you’re getting.
• The site is yours, on your own domain, once the build fee has cleared, and it stays yours.

Which plan is actually yours

Let me help you decide.

Where the line sits

What Kirrby Studio doesn’t handle.

Worth reading before you pick a plan. I’d rather be straight with you about it here. If it leaves you with a question, the FAQ carries the longer answers.

• Inventory and day-to-day operations. Kirrby Studio doesn’t personally track your stock or run your business systems. Those stay with you, in the tools you already use for them or on the back end I supply you control over. Connecting them to your site is the part that’s mine, maintenance is yours.
• Changes one at a time, all week. The small everyday things are yours to change whenever you like. The session work covers the bigger things like a new page, the copy on a page rewritten, photos swapped out, design, etc. These happen in your sit-down, as often as your plan says. During those sessions, your changes can be big or small, it's your session.
  Anything broken is the exception and gets fixed on sight.
• Running the platforms you bring. I do need access to connect your domain and your integrations on the back end. What I don’t do is operate those accounts for you. They stay yours, and they stay in your name.
• Applications. Kirrby Studio designs websites. If what you want is an application, that’s a different conversation, and I’ll say so rather than quietly building you something half right.
• Seasonal work that stays. A seasonal change dresses the site for a season and then puts it back exactly as it was. New site work is what the sit-down sessions are for. There’s a fuller answer on the FAQs.
• Anything on your bill you didn’t agree to. If you want something a plan doesn’t cover, I price it and tell you before any work starts. Taxes are outside my control, and they are applied as required.

The small print, said plainly

• Your own back end. Your hours, prices, photos and page copy, edited by you and live the moment you save, with your numbers and both generators, image and copy, in the same place. If you’d rather just send me the change instead, that always works too.
• The AI tools are included on every plan. They help you write and picture your site. Making a draft or an image costs something every time, so how much they make each month is set for your plan and stored with your plan schedule when you accept; it can’t be reduced while you’re on the plan unless you agree. The tools can be wrong, so check what they make before you publish it.
• The sit-down. Once a year on Steady, every quarter on Care, every month on Growth. That’s where the bigger work happens: copy written, images made, design done. Not everybody will use every one. What you’re buying is the safety net of somebody whose job it is to do it, so it isn’t sitting on your list.
• Seasonal changes revert. A season is a real redesign (seasonal pages, copy rewritten), and the site returns to its pre-season state when the season ends.
• The apps are in beta. Care and Growth get early access to the studio tools I’m testing, free while they’re in beta. They are the studio’s own, so they stop when your plan does. As a founder you get 25% off anything else the studio releases while you’re a client.
• Anything outside the plan. Ask in the survey or any time after. I price it and tell you before any work starts.
• Switching plans. Open founder seats mean you can switch at any time. You pay the build difference to get set up on the new plan, and move to its monthly price. After seats close, it’s a conversation.
• If you leave. You can leave from your account, online, in one press, and nothing is owed for it. The site is yours, on your own domain, and you take it and everything on it: the files and design, your words and images, everything saved in your back end, and a copy of your data, within seven days of leaving or by your site’s last day if that’s sooner. Files aren’t a running website, so you’ll need hosting of your own and someone technical to set them up. Hosting and looking after it are what the monthly plan pays for, so those stop when the plan does, along with your back end and the AI tools. What stays with me is the system underneath and the reusable pieces I build with. I keep your files for twelve months, then email you and delete them thirty days later unless you ask for them.
• The build fee is refundable for fifteen days. Counted from the day you pay it, in full. If you take the refund, the build stops and the plan never starts.
