Our monthly plan
What is included in your monthly website?
The founding offer covers a small business brochure website and ongoing help after launch. Here is the scope at a glance.
Design, build, and launch
A mobile-friendly brochure site with two consolidated build revision rounds. Draft launch content includes up to 1,500 words and four generated images where needed, with one consolidated content review and your approval before launch.
Domain and hosting
One available, standard-priced .com or .ie domain, managed hosting and ordinary renewal during the active subscription. You own the domain.
Ongoing updates
Up to 60 minutes of routine changes per monthly subscription period, including assessment, testing and publishing. Unused time does not roll over.
Maintenance and support
Routine technical care and practical support. A visual design refresh is included after 48 qualifying service months for an active customer whose account is current, within the existing scope with two revision rounds.
Simple enquiry flow
A basic contact form to one agreed inbox and a WhatsApp contact link. Basic on-page SEO covers titles, descriptions, headings and indexing setup; it is not an ongoing search campaign.
You supply accurate business details, your existing logo and service photos where available, then review and approve the website before launch. Read Packages for the full scope, responsibilities and terms.
Before you enquire
Costs, changes and what happens if you leave.
Domain ownership and website export are separate rights. Check both alongside the monthly fee and cancellation terms.
See the full package terms, including fee protection and export conditions.
What does Red Stag’s monthly price cover?
€59/month, excluding VAT. No minimum subscription term. Includes design, launch, domain, hosting and up to 60 minutes of monthly changes. Red Stag Studio is currently not VAT registered, so no VAT is currently added. If VAT becomes legally chargeable, it is added to the agreed fee.
Is there an upfront payment?
The first confirmed monthly payment precedes the build and counts towards month one. Payment is arranged close to the agreed start; the order summary records the subscription, build and payment dates. There is no separate upfront build deposit.
What costs extra?
New pages, new functionality and substantial redesigns need a separate agreement. Ecommerce, booking systems and an ongoing SEO campaign are outside this plan. Premium or additional domains and third-party email subscriptions are excluded. Optional extras are logo (€49 once, excluding VAT), business email setup (€99 once, excluding VAT), assisted domain migration (€79 once, excluding VAT). Email licences and registrar charges are separate. See Packages for the full scope and terms of each extra.
How do I get changes made after launch?
Send your updated information to Red Stag Studio; we make the agreed changes for you. Up to 60 minutes of routine changes per monthly subscription period, including assessment, implementation, testing and publishing. Unused time does not roll over. Supplied text, photo and contact-detail changes are included; new pages, new functionality and substantial redesigns require a separate agreement.
Can I cancel my monthly website plan?
No minimum subscription term. Cancel at any time with 30 days’ written notice to rob@redstagstudio.ie. Service ends 30 days after receipt. We bill only through that date, prorate the final period and refund advance payments for time beyond it. There is no early-exit penalty or build-cost clawback.
Do I own my domain if I leave?
One available, standard-priced .com or .ie domain and managed hosting are included during the active subscription, with ordinary renewal handled by us. You own the domain. Basic release and available transfer-code assistance are free, subject to registrar rules, independently of website-export eligibility or optional migration assistance. Premium domains are excluded; other extensions and additional purchases require agreed costs.
When can I export the website?
This is a managed subscription, not an outright website purchase at signup. Your supplied materials remain yours. Ordinary website-export rights are earned after 18 completed qualifying service months: completed subscription periods paid or satisfied by an agreed credit. Advance payments do not accelerate eligibility; agreed billing pauses freeze progress and partial final periods do not qualify. Earned rights are retained after cancellation. The export includes site-specific source, relevant assets, dependency information and basic build/deployment instructions, with a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use and modify the website for your business. Third-party licences still apply; reusable components are not transferred for separate resale. Replacement hosting, services and migration work are separate. Eligible exports are provided within five working days of an agreed active-service request, or proactively within five working days after hosting ends, subject to earlier exception deadlines. A recovery archive is retained for 30 days after hosting ends, with notice before deletion.
Are there any earlier website export rights?
Early source export applies if you cancel because of a subscription-fee increase during its 60-day notice window, if Red Stag ends the service for its own convenience, or if you terminate for an uncured material supplier failure under the agreed terms. For a fee-increase exit, delivery is within 30 calendar days of notice and no later than hosting ends; for supplier-convenience exit, before hosting ends. A VAT-only increase does not create this special early-export right. Ordinary cancellation before 18 qualifying months does not earn source-export rights merely by waiting.

Pay Monthly Websites in Ireland: What Do You Actually Get?
The same payment schedule can buy different things.
Software, instalments and managed services can overlap. A monthly price on its own tells you little about who does the work.
Website-builder software
You pay to use a platform. Check who will design the pages, supply the content and keep the information current; those jobs may still be yours.
A build paid in instalments
The cost of creating the website is spread over time. Ongoing maintenance and later changes may be separate from those payments.
A managed website service
The supplier builds the site and provides agreed ongoing help. Ask exactly what care and changes the package covers, and what needs a separate quote.
A practical example
Service. Area. Enquiry.
Imagine a cleaning business offering regular home cleaning and one-off deep cleans in Limerick and Clare. A customer opens its website on their phone.
First, they need to find the service they want. Then they need to know whether the business covers their town. Finally, they need a clear way to enquire, giving their service, location and contact details.
A confirmation after submitting the form tells them their enquiry was received. For this business, that can be a useful starting point. Online booking and payment can be considered when they are needed.
This is a fictional cleaning-business example, not a client case study or a claim about results.
Who updates the website when your hours change?
That is where ongoing help becomes concrete. In our example, the owner starts taking enquiries on Saturdays.
01
Send the change
The owner sends the new contact hours and explains where they should appear.
02
Review and update
We check the request and replace the old hours with the agreed information.
03
Check on mobile
We check the updated pages on mobile as well as desktop.
Small text and photo changes are part of Red Stag Studio’s managed package. The business owner supplies accurate information and tells us when it changes; we handle the agreed updates and ongoing technical care. This example describes the process, not a guaranteed turnaround time.
Small updates and new features are different jobs.
Changing contact hours or replacing a photo is different from adding an online shop, booking system or a new service with a different enquiry process. Agree the scope of larger work before assuming it is included.
For our current price, minimum term and included work, see the managed website package. Use the written proposal to confirm what applies to your business.
Five questions before you commit.
Ask every supplier the same questions so you can compare the service as well as the price.
1. What is included?
Get the build, hosting, domain administration, technical care and update allowance listed. Ask separately about business email and who supplies the words and photos.
2. What costs extra?
Check setup fees, renewals, additional features and the total payable including any VAT. Compare the full cost over the same period.
3. What is the minimum commitment?
Confirm the minimum term, notice period and what you will pay if you cancel. A monthly bill does not necessarily mean you can leave after one month.
4. Who controls the domain and website?
Clarify account access and your rights to the domain, content, design and code. The payment schedule alone does not settle ownership.
5. What happens if I leave?
Ask what can be transferred, in what format, who handles the handover and whether there are charges. Get the answers in writing before signing.
