Yes, there is a 12-month minimum commitment for our recurring
Maintenance subscriptions under the Smart Billing plans. This
commitment ensures we can cover the necessary security, hosting, and
licensing costs required to keep your site running effectively. You
can choose to pay monthly or pay once for the year to receive one
month free.
Hybrid Billing is our most popular payment structure, Made for clients
who want more flexibility in how they pay. It consists of two
components:
A one-time Setup Fee:
This covers the initial custom design, build, and launch of your
website.
A recurring Maintenance Subscription:
This subscription covers all essential services, including hosting,
security, ongoing updates, and your monthly edit allowance. Smart
Billing is designed for long-term partners and keeping things simple
with just one component: A recurring All In One Setup+Maintentance Subscription: This subscription covers the cost of your setup fee and
maintenance fees all in one, it does require a minimum commitment
term.
We have a clear, transparent late payment policy:
• If payment is late by
10 days, a
$25.00 Late Fee is
assessed.
• If payment is late by
15 days, your
website will be
paused (taken
offline) until the late fee and balance is paid.
• If payment is late by
30 days, your
website and data may be
permanently deleted
from our servers.
If you cancel a managed plan, hosting and ongoing support end at the
close of your billing period.
All payments are non-refundable once submitted, as services are custom
and begin immediately. You may cancel ongoing subscriptions at any
time to prevent future billing.
Ownership and management depend on the option you choose.
With managed plans, 545 Online manages the website for you while
your service is active.
With one-time builds, you manage the website after launch within the
existing setup.
You always retain ownership of your business name, branding, and
content you provide.
Management responsibility can change based on your plan. Smart Billing Clients may request a transition after completing the minimum
commitment.
Hybrid Billing Clients may request a transition at any time.
Important: After a
transition, 545 Online support ends and you become responsible for
hosting, updates, and ongoing management within the existing setup.
Ongoing maintenance includes continuous security monitoring,
performance optimization, content updates, and technical support. Most
importantly, it includes the monthly allowance of Small, Medium, and
Large content edits specific to your plan.
Absolutely! Every plan includes a specific allowance of monthly edits
(Small, Medium, and Large) to handle updates, content changes, or
photo swaps. Larger adjustments or updates that exceed your monthly
allowance can be quoted separately.
Most sites are ready within 3–7 business days after we receive all of
your content and final approval. We focus on a fast, professional
build without cutting corners.
We typically need your business information, logo, photos (if you have
them), and any specific details you want included on the site. If you
don't have photos or strong content, we can use stock images and craft
the content for you.

and cannot be migrated or exported to another platform.

different industries. Even better, we create two free demo versions of
your website so you can see exactly what we'll build for you before
