How much does a PurpleSites Cost?
PurpleSites costs are split into two parts; a design
phase and a membership. The design phase starts with
a base price of $300 with extra Design Blocks of $100
each. PurpleSites membership starts 30 days after the
design process starts and is $45/mo. (A typical
website will be $500-$600 (two to three extra design
blocks). We have a 6 month service agreement to make
sure that both parties are fully satisfied with the
site.
How long does a PurpleSite take to build?
Sites can be constructed in as little as 7 days but
most are completed within 30 days.
What do I get for that $300 base price?
The base price includes:
- A www.yourbusiness.com domain name(or .net, .biz, .org, etc...).***
- 2 onsite design meetings where we build the base of your site before your eyes as fast as our two companies can think it up.
- 2 hrs of offsite work for tweaking and taking the design to the next level
- 1 Free theme base
*** based on availability, your first choice might not be available.

Who owns the website / What happens if I leave PurpleSites / Can I take my website to another host?
Once the design process ends and the service contract
is over, you completely own the website and if you
desire to end your PurpleSites Membership you can
recieve a copy on a CD-ROM. By ending PurpleSites
mmbership you'll be removed fromt he purplesites
directory and missing out on the hosting,
maintenance, and most importantly, the service and
support that makes PurpleSites what it is. (If you
leave your domain name will also be transfered to
your name and you'll be responsible for the yearly
cost to keep it.)
I already have a domain name, a hosting server, or both already, can I have a discount?
We offer those services as a bonus to you as being a
member of PurpleSites. By having your own domain
name, hosting server, or both, means we'll now have
to work with another company to set-up and maintain
your site, so we are sorry, but there is no discount.
I want my site to show up in [name of search engine here]. Will it be there?
All PurpleSites are fully indexable by search
engines, meaning any search engine that is alerted to
the presence of your website will be able to read
your entire site, follow your links, and list your
site.
