When you sign up for a website, you have one month free of a subscription cost. That means you will pay the setup fee today but won't have to pay for hosting, etc. for another month. It will take us one week to create your website once you provide us all the content we need (two weeks for eCommerce).
We don't want you to pay for your subscription while you're still gathering information. That's why we recommend you gather everything you need before going through the checkout process.
If you have everything you need together, we'll be able to get started on your website immediately. Once you check out we will provide you access to your personal portal where you can access your Google Drive folder to drop content. You'll also see real-time progress for your website as we build it.
Thank you, Syd, for the great recommendation!
