The worry
A website rarely costs what it seemed to. The build is one bill; after that come the small changes, the updates, the plugins, the hours of someone who knows how it works. You end up paying to keep it the way it was.
What you pay for
The design and the build: a brand and a website made by hand, then handed over with the rules your agent works within. A licence per site, for signed updates and support. Your own assistant — the one you already use, at its own price. And a place for the site to run.
What you stop paying for
The small changes. A new page, a corrected price, an event, a translation — you say it, your agent does it, and you publish. No plugins or page builders to license, no dashboard to train people on, and no hours to book for what is now a sentence.
No lock-in in the bill
Your site is a folder of plain files. It keeps working without a licence — it just stops receiving new features — and it moves to any server that meets loam's few requirements. You pay for what you use, not for the right to leave.
