Every WebsitePairs site starts as a working demo on a .netlify.app link. Here's how to use it, and the three ways to take it live.
Your demo is the real site, already running. Treat it like the finished thing.
Most of your customers will see it there first. Tap every button and try every form.
Send the link to anyone who should weigh in. Nothing they do can break it.
Text or email what you'd like different. Two rounds of changes are included in every plan.
Choose one of the three plans below. Your demo becomes your live site on your own domain.
Your demo shows a small Preview bar and is hidden from Google, so it never competes with your current site. Free preview links come down after 30 days.
The build is the same in every plan. The difference is who hosts it and makes changes after launch.
We build it. You take it live on your own Netlify.
We build it, launch it on your domain and keep it running.
We build it, then teach you to update and host it with Claude.
Secure checkout by Stripe. Upkeep billing starts when your site goes live.
Hosting it yourself is completely doable. Here's what you take on when you do.
| When this happens | Hosting it yourself | Hosting with WebsitePairs |
|---|---|---|
| The free hosting credits run out | Netlify switches your whole site off until next month or until you pay | Never happens. Your site runs on our plan with backup credits. |
| You need a change | You make it, or pay $75 per batch | Text us. It's included. |
| A form quietly stops sending | You find out when the leads dry up | We check forms and links every month |
| A change breaks something | You work out how to undo it | We roll back to yesterday's version in a minute |
| Tools with running costs (AI features, auto-updating feeds) | You set up and pay for the accounts and keys | We handle it |
| You want to leave | Not needed | We move everything to your own account, free |
If you pick Handoff, this is what you'll do. Your guide and the handoff call walk you through each step.
Go to netlify.com and sign up. The free plan covers a small site, but your site goes offline if you use up the month's credits.
Drag the folder we send you into Netlify. If your site has extras, like a check-up tool or AI features, it goes in through GitHub instead, and we set that up with you.
Add your domain in Netlify, then update the settings at the company you bought it from. Copy your email settings (MX records) first so your email keeps working.
Set the email address for form submissions in Netlify, then update the website link on your Google Business Profile.
For organizations and owners who want to make their own changes. You don't need to know code: Claude writes it, and we teach you how to ask and how to check.
We put your site in your own GitHub and Netlify accounts and write a guide file that tells Claude how your site works.
How your site's files fit together, how to ask Claude for a change, and how to check it before it goes live.
Your domain, forms, hosting credits, and how to undo a change that went wrong.
You add an event, change a price and swap photos while we watch. Then 30 days of support by text and email.
You pay for your own tools: a paid Claude plan to use Claude Code, plus Netlify if you outgrow the free plan. After the 30 days, extra help is paid per session, or you can switch to our $200/mo upkeep any time.
Yes. If you pick Demo + Handoff and change your mind within 60 days, your $750 counts toward Build + Launch. You pay $250 more and start upkeep. Teach clients can move to upkeep any time.
Yes. Your domain is in your name, and your words, photos and site files are yours on every plan.
A handful of small edits sent together, like new prices, a new photo and an updated event. Bigger additions, like a new page, get a quote first.
No. Claude writes the code. We teach you how to ask for what you want, check it on the preview, and publish it.
Plans are paid securely through Stripe. If your organization needs an invoice first, we'll send one you can pay by card or bank transfer.
Start with the Start Here form and pick "Not sure yet". We'll recommend one within one business day.
