Definition of Standard Service
My Modeling Site will build and host for you a website consisting of roughly 6 pages (depending on how your image galleries are set up this could vary slightly). The general understanding of pages in a standard site is: Home, About, Blog, Booking, Contact, Portfolio (Image galleries). Sites that require more than this or specific features may result in additional costs. Our standard service basically gives you a complete basic website for $2.50 a month. We’re pretty confident that’s an amazing deal compared to most other services.
We should note: Our standard service cost covers mainly our time to build your site and a share in the hosting costs (sadly, most things in life aren’t free). Our standard service assumes the use of “free” templates and plug-ins and the capabilities they provide. If you request specific design, formatting or functionality not possible by a “free” template or plug-in (or would require a significant amount of set-up) that additional cost will be your responsibility - but don’t worry, we’ll let you know first and let you decide if you really want it. It also includes 4 updates per year (once every 3 months) by our team. Should you opt to learn how to update your site yourself you can update it as often as you'd like. We also provide site management support packages if you'd like My Modeling Site to manage your site content on your behalf more often.
Content
