Common questions

A few things clients ask before they start.

Is the $35/month Care Plan required?
Yes — the Website Care Plan is required for all standard clients after launch. It includes hosting, security, ongoing maintenance, technical support, and small content updates, so you never have to manage the technical side yourself.
What does the setup fee cover?
Setup starts at $200+ based on scope and covers design, build, content placement, basic SEO, and launch. You'll review the site before it goes live and have a chance to request revisions until it feels right.
Who owns the website?
By default, Luminate manages your site under the ongoing Website Care Plan — that's how standard clients work with us. If you'd prefer to own and host the site yourself, buyout options are available on request. Just ask during your project conversation and we'll walk through it together.
What if I need something bigger?
Growth Sites and Custom Builds are quoted around the work — multi-page sites, blogs, booking, e-commerce, or custom features. The $35/month Care Plan still applies after launch.

Jacob, founder of Luminate Web Solutions
From the studio
I started Luminate because small businesses across the CSRA deserve a website that feels considered — not pieced together from a template. Every site we ship is something I'd happily put my own name on.
