From your first strategy call through launch and ongoing care—$0 upfront subscription plans for local business websites and managed Shopify storefronts when you hire Starbyte as your outsourced web team.
Starbyte's subscription plans are built for owners who want results without becoming their own web department—whether you need a lead-gen website or a managed Shopify storefront. Not sure which tier fits? We'll recommend Website-as-a-Service, Storefront-as-a-Service, or custom scope on a free consult.
See pricing and the full FAQ for contract and ownership details.
Most local business websites and Shopify storefronts go live in about 4–6 weeks when content and approvals move steadily. Your timeline may vary.
Free consultation to confirm fit and recommend Website-as-a-Service ($0 upfront, $350/month), Storefront-as-a-Service ($0 upfront, $550/month), or custom scope if neither tier fits. You sign the matching agreement; first month's payment ($350 or $550) starts onboarding and the 24-month term. We collect brand assets, services or product info, photos, and goals—you register and pay Shopify directly on storefront plans.
We map pages, navigation, and forms—or store structure, collections, and checkout—together in plain English. You approve the plan; we flag any missing copy, images, or product data. Billing continues on schedule even if content arrives slowly—timely responses keep launch on track.
We present a custom design direction for your key pages or storefront templates. You review on desktop and mobile and request revisions. No generic template shopping—you get a layout built for your local business.
We develop the approved design, wire up forms or checkout, set up hosting, and run speed, mobile, and conversion tests. You get a private preview link to review before anything goes public.
Final tweaks from your preview feedback, DNS/domain connection, and go-live. We confirm analytics, forms or checkout, and backups. After launch, you are in ongoing care—request updates anytime through priority support.
You have a 30-day evaluation period after your first payment—or before your site or storefront goes live—to cancel without the remaining 24-month obligation. Learn more in the FAQ.
You are not buying hours—you are hiring a webmaster. Here is what we handle as part of your monthly subscription versus what needs a separate conversation or custom scope.
Requests go through priority support; we assess within 24 hours per your agreement.
Once per calendar quarter, we review performance and plan next steps—about 30 minutes on a live call or via Loom if that is easier. Website plans emphasize leads and forms; Storefront-as-a-Service reviews add sales-path metrics (checkout bounce, funnel drop-offs).
Visits, top entry pages, and mobile vs. desktop—what changed since last quarter.
Form submissions, click-to-call patterns, and whether inquiries are reaching your inbox.
Checkout bounce, cart paths, and sales-funnel drop-offs—where shoppers stall and what to test next.
Indexing status, broken links addressed, and basics we maintained—no ranking guarantees.
Content, page, or merchandising ideas, seasonal promos, and quick wins for the next 90 days.
Stay modern without paying for a full rebuild again—available on Website-as-a-Service and Storefront-as-a-Service after each 24 consecutive months of active subscription.
After each 24 consecutive months on an active Website-as-a-Service or Storefront-as-a-Service subscription, you can ask for a full visual redesign at no additional cost. It does not happen automatically—we schedule when you are ready.
We discuss what feels dated, what competitors are doing, and any new services, products, or photos. Your content stays; the look and layout evolve.
New design mockups, your approval, then we rebuild on the same domain with minimal downtime. Forms or checkout, hosting, and SEO care continue throughout.
Go live with the refreshed site or storefront and return to normal monthly support—updates, security, and quarterly reviews keep running.
