A website's more than a page. Here's what's underneath, and who owns it.
Your site
This is the site you just built.
Keep scrolling and I'll take it apart, so you can see everything you're getting.
01 / 05
Your domain
Your address on the internet. It's registered in your name, so nobody can hold it to ransom.
02 / 05
Hosting
Where your site lives. It's in your own account, so if you ever move on from me, nothing goes offline.
03 / 05
The code
The site itself. Once it's paid for, the code I write for it is yours to keep, change, or take to someone else.
04 / 05
The design
Built around your brand and tested properly on phones, because that's where a lot of your visitors will be.
05 / 05
Booking and Google
Online booking on Business sites, and set up properly for Google from day one, so it can find your site and show it to people searching for you.
That's everything
All of it, in your name.
No renting a website you lose the day you stop paying. Once it's paid for, it's yours.

Process
How it works
Talk
A quick call about your business and what the site needs to do. You get a fixed quote.
Design
You send me your text, photos and logo, and I design your homepage first, so you can see it before anything gets built.
Build
I build the rest, set up booking if you need it, and test it properly on phones.
Hand over
It goes live on your domain, in your accounts. It's yours.
Who's behind it
Hi, I'm James.
I build every Sites by Panda site myself, from the first call to handing you the keys. I also run AutomatedPanda, so if you ever need something bigger than a website, it's still me you're talking to.
Pricing
Website prices, said plainly
Two packages with starting prices, so you know roughly where you stand before you get in touch. Anything bigger, I'll quote properly.

FAQ
Questions people ask
How much does a website cost?
Starter sites start at $999 and Business sites at $1,999 while founding places last, then $1,499 and $2,999. Online shops depend on what you sell, so I quote those. Hosting and your domain are paid by you, direct to the provider.
Do I own the website?
Yes. Once it's paid in full, the site and the code I wrote for it are yours. A few things are licensed rather than owned, like fonts, stock photos and tools I reuse across projects, and I'll list those in your agreement.
Who hosts it?
You do, in your own accounts. I set up the hosting and domain with you, put the site live and hand everything over. If you host on Vercel, which is what I'd recommend, it's $20 a month, or $40 a month if you add me to your Vercel team.
Can I edit it myself?
Yes, if you want to. The edit it yourself add-on is a one-off cost and gives you a simple editor for your text, photos, prices and opening hours. Or just send changes to me, through the care plan or as one-offs. Small changes, anything up to about half an hour, are $45 each, and bigger jobs I'll quote first.
How long does it take?
Starter sites usually take 1 to 3 weeks and Business sites 2 to 4, from the day you say yes. Having your text and photos ready is the biggest thing that speeds it up.
How does payment work?
50% up front to book your slot, and 50% when the site's finished.
What's founding client pricing?
I'm starting Sites by Panda, so my first 5 clients get a lower price. After that the prices go up. Nothing else changes. You get exactly the same work.
Can you redesign my current website?
Yes. A redesign uses the same packages as a new site. If it's a site I built for you and you just want changes, they can go through the care plan, or small changes are $45 each, and anything bigger I'll quote first.
Do you write the words and find the photos?
You supply the text, photos and logo. If you'd like help with the writing, copywriting is an add-on I can do for you. I don't do photography, though.
What if I need something more complicated?
If it's more of an app than a website, that's what AutomatedPanda is for. Same person, just a different kind of build.
Your sign's up. Now let's build the shop behind it.
