What will your year cost?
Compare the published plan prices with your own website spending. Both Launch and Grow include four marketing updates per Central calendar month; their scope is described above.
| Plan | Billed | 12-month total |
|---|---|---|
| Launch4 marketing updates/month | $99 yearly | $99$8.25/month equivalent |
| Grow monthly4 marketing updates/month | $29 monthly | $34812 monthly payments |
| Grow yearly4 marketing updates/month | $290 yearly | $290$24.17/month equivalent |
Yearly Grow costs $58 less than 12 monthly payments. Monthly equivalents are for comparison; yearly plans are billed in one payment.
These totals compare the advertised subscription prices before any applicable tax or separately quoted work. Booking, payment, store and custom backend applications are outside this service. This compares prices, not features or expected customer revenue.

Leaving takes one click. Here's the button.
Some web shops register your domain in their own name, so leaving means begging for it back. Yours is registered in your name from day one.
- 1Sign in to your account and press Move my domain.
- 2The domain unlocks, and the registrar emails the transfer code straight to you. We don't touch it.
- 3Give the code to your new provider. Cancel your plan on the same page (no call, no offer to stay), and we send you your site's files.

Plain answers
Do I own my website?
Yes. Your domain is registered in your name, and if you ever leave we send you your site's files. No fees to leave.
Is this really cheaper than Wix?
Yes, from day one: $99 a year with your domain included, compared with Wix Light at $17 a month billed yearly ($204 a year) and Squarespace Basic at $19 a month billed annually ($228 a year), checked October 24, 2026. Region, currency, taxes, renewal prices, and current terms may differ.
What is included in a request?
One coherent update to marketing pages, contact forms, blog posts, photos or content. Both new plans include four updates per America/Chicago calendar month, reset at midnight on the first, with no rollover. Rejected requests and withdrawals before work starts do not use your allowance. Corrections to our work are included. Existing paid unlimited contracts retain their existing entitlement. New contracts include four accepted marketing updates per Central calendar month. Booking systems, stores, payments and custom backend or database apps are outside this service.
How do changes work?
Sign in and open a request, like "change Saturday hours to 8 to 2" or "swap the top photo for this one". We make the change, publish it, and reply to you. Launch includes 4 marketing updates per Central calendar month. Grow includes four marketing updates per Central calendar month.
Who actually does the work?
We do, working under strict written rules for your site. That's how we keep it at $99. Every change is saved, so anything can be undone, and a full redesign or new logo needs a separate design quote. Booking, payment, store and backend/database applications are not offered.
Is there any catch to leaving?
One, and it isn't ours: registries don't let any domain move in its first 60 days after it's registered or moved. After that, the button works any day of the year.
What if I already have a domain?
We move it into your account at no extra cost (it stays in your name), or just point it at your new site. Either way nothing breaks.
Where are you?
We work with businesses anywhere in the US, entirely online.
What isn't included?
A full redesign or new logo needs a separate design quote. We do not offer booking, payment, store, or bespoke backend/database applications. We can link to your existing providers.
Is Front Step Sites the same company as FRONTSTEPS?
No. Front Step Sites (frontstepsites.com) is unrelated to FRONTSTEPS, the property-management/HOA software company.
Do I need to know HTML or code?
No. You answer a 10-minute questionnaire, and we write the words and build the site. A hand-coded HTML site is a job for a web developer, and separate design work is quoted before anything costs extra; backend applications are not offered.
