Business Starter Tier
The foundational infrastructure package designed to move your business from a static web presence to a dynamic, data-driven application.
Why is this an annual investment?
We operate differently from traditional agencies. Instead of charging for code, we charge for impact.
It's not just a subscription.
It's a Partnership.
Most agencies charge you a huge upfront fee (e.g., $ 699+) to build software, then leave you to manage it. We do the opposite.
1. We Waive the Build Cost
We apply a 100% Development Subsidy. This means we design, code, and deploy your custom Business Starter platform without charging the standard development fee (valued at $ 699+). We invest in your build upfront.
2. What your Annual Fee covers
Instead of paying for code, you are paying for the Infrastructure & Team required to keep that code alive, secure, and running.
Tech-as-a-Service (TaaS)
Software requires updates, security patches, and server management. Your annual fee ensures you have a Fractional Tech Department handling this 24/7.
Active SLA Protection
Your annual fee includes our Service Level Agreement. If your system goes down, we are alerted instantly. Critical issues are patched within 3 hours.

Detailed Service Inclusions
1. High-Performance App Hosting
Unlike standard shared hosting, your platform requires a dedicated runtime environment to handle dynamic data.
- Engine: Next.js Server-Side Rendering
- Uptime: 99.9% Service Level Agreement
- Bandwidth: 50GB / Month (~10k visitors)
2. Domain & Security Compliance
Essential security and identity management ensuring your business meets digital compliance standards.

Note on Capacity:
"For most starters, 1GB is plenty for invoices and profile photos. Since this is a high-speed cloud tier (not just a hard drive), it's expensive to maintain. If you ever fill it up, we can instantly upgrade you to the Business Tier without downtime."4. Technical Maintenance

We apply security updates to your server environment and runtime dependencies every 3 months.
