We first build a free website preview you can browse on our website. Choose Starter to launch your website preview as it is, or Pro for up to five pages with design and content changes. Larger websites, custom features, or integrations need an Ultimate quote. Your Build includes:
your own website
connection to your domain
mobile friendly layout
secure hosting
a contact form
After we build, we host your website, maintain it, and look after it. You can upgrade your care plan if you decide you need to make monthly updates to the site. Requesting monthly updates or reporting bug fixes is simple, just email us.
A new domain includes its first year at NZ$0. Later annual renewal is charged separately at confirmed NZD renewal cost plus 5%, with the price and billing date confirmed after manual registration. For an existing domain, your business keeps paying its registrar separately from Care.
Who owns the site?
Your website preview is hosted on our website for you to view. Once you purchase your Build, the site and content are yours. Your Business is the legal domain holder. Chur is its authorized manager and may pay the registrar, subject to confirming the permitted Cloudflare account arrangement and your authority. Registrant details alone do not establish that permission. If you already own a domain, you keep it and continue paying your registrar.
How do we start?
Send a message through the contact page to request your free website preview. When you are ready, choose Starter to launch your website preview as it is, or Pro for up to five pages with design and content changes. Choose a required Care Plan, enter a new or existing domain name, and continue to hosted Stripe Checkout. Contact us for an Ultimate quote if you need a larger website, custom features, or integrations.
What is the website preview?
A free preview website built from your request. You can view the site and interact with it freely as if it were live. It is hosted on our website as a preview so there is nothing to pay to view this. You only pay when you decide to commit to getting your business on the internet.
How long does a build take?
You get your website preview within 3 business days of your request. Your site will then go live within two weeks after committing, but note that larger custom jobs may take longer.
How much does a website cost?
Starter Build is NZ$289 to launch your website preview as it is. Pro Build is NZ$499 for up to five pages with design and content changes. Both are available through checkout. Ultimate starts from NZ$1,199 and requires a quote. Build is a one-time payment. A required Care Plan starts immediately and renews separately. All prices are NZD and include GST.
What are design rounds?
1 design round starts with change requests. Give us up to 5 business days to make the changes and we will notify you when your changes are live. To get the most out of a design round we encourage you to include as many instructions as possible of what you need done and any assets such as text, images and links that you want to use.
1 Design round costs $289.
3 design rounds cost $319.
What does the care plan cover?
A Care Plan is required to stay live. Basic Care covers website hosting, secure HTTPS, updates and maintenance, uptime monitoring, website backups, and bug fixes. Content edits and feature requests are not included. Extra changes can be purchased as a design round. Pro Care includes everything in Basic Care, plus priority support, content edits, database maintenance, and 1 design round a month for small edits and features. Domain registration and renewals are separate from Care. For an existing domain, your business keeps paying its registrar.
How does Care billing work?
Basic Care is NZ$24.99 billed monthly, or NZ$227.88 billed annually, equivalent to NZ$18.99 a month. Pro Care is NZ$79.99 billed monthly, or NZ$599.88 billed annually, equivalent to NZ$49.99 a month. All prices are NZD and include GST. Your initial payment includes the one-time Build and the first full Care charge. Later Care renewals do not charge for the Build again.
What domain information do I need?
Choose a new domain or one you already own, then enter only its name. We check new names while you type. A confirmed unavailable name needs changing; an inconclusive check can proceed for manual follow-up. An availability result does not reserve the domain. Existing domains do not need an availability check, and your business keeps paying its current registrar. Do not send passwords, transfer codes, or other access details through checkout.
What does a new domain cost?
The first registration year is included at NZ$0. Registration happens manually after payment and review. Later periods are billed annually in advance through a separate domain subscription, independent of monthly or annual Care. The amount is confirmed NZD renewal cost multiplied by 1.05, rounded to cents. This markup does not apply to Build or Care and is not an exact payment fee reimbursement.
The price comes from a confirmed registrar account renewal quote, with a legitimate NZD conversion where needed, not a domain availability estimate. Chur manually updates the Stripe price when costs change; Stripe otherwise repeats the configured amount.
Collection targets 10 days before Cloudflare's expected renewal charge, not expiry. Its first renewal attempt is approximately 30 days before expiry, so expiry minus roughly 40 days is only an estimate. The confirmed billing date depends on the registration and account schedule.
The free Checkout line and Care payment do not authorize separate domain charges. Payment authorization and domain cancellation and refund policies still require review before live use. Existing domains receive neither a free registration line nor a Chur domain subscription. Registration, transfers, registrar renewals and payment failures remain manual.
Pro Care includes 1 design round a month for small edits and tweaks, roughly a two-hour revise pass. These do not roll over.
What happens if something breaks?
Monitoring, updates, and backups run in the background, so many issues are handled before you notice. Message us if something looks wrong. Bug fixes are included in both Care plans.
Do I need any technical skills?
No. If you can send an email you can request changes. We handle the technical work.
Can I update my own content?
Yes. Page updates like changing your hours, adding photos, displaying a promotion on the front page are welcome.
