Rent a Premium Website.
Agency-grade design, built in the time a weekend takes, for a flat monthly rent that scales with what you add. Pause or stop any time.
WEEKENDER rents small businesses an agency-grade website. You pay a one-time launch fee, then a flat monthly rent covering hosting, maintenance, and any modules you switch on — from $129/mo. You own your domain and content from day one; buy the build out any time, or rent-to-own and own everything at 36 months. Example numbers below, pending final confirmation.
A custom site like this runs $6,000–12,000 to build, plus $1,100–5,000/yr to keep alive. Rent one instead — designed and built in the time a weekend takes.

Straight answers.
How does renting a website work?
You pay a one-time launch fee to build the site, then a flat monthly rent that covers hosting, maintenance, updates, and any add-on modules you switch on. Your rent scales with what you add. There's a 12-month minimum term, with cheaper 24- and 36-month options.
Do I own the website?
You own everything that's yours from day one — your domain, your content, your images, and every lead your forms capture, all on your own accounts. The custom design and code are licensed while you rent. Buy them outright any time (the price drops every month you pay), or pick rent-to-own and own the whole build free at 36 months.
What happens if I stop paying?
Nothing goes dark. You keep your domain, content, and lead history, and you get a working static copy of your site you can host anywhere, plus a 60-day redirect while you move. No exit fee, ever.
Are these prices final?
These are example figures while we finalize pricing. Your exact monthly is whatever you configure above, confirmed on a short call before anything is booked. All amounts are USD; Canadian clients are billed in CAD.
Is hosting and a domain included?
Managed hosting, SSL, uptime monitoring, and in-scope maintenance are all included in the monthly rent. Your domain is registered in your own name, so it's always yours — even if you leave.
