Do you only build websites?
No. Steadline builds websites, custom software and CRM systems, and AI automation. Websites are productized with fixed prices and a free concept first.
Software and automation are custom work: we start with a free consultation, write down the scope, and quote a price before anything is built or charged.
What exactly is the free concept?
We look at your current website (or your Google listing, if you don't have a site) and design a homepage concept for your business. You get a private link and a short written review. If you like the concept, we build the full site. If not, you owe nothing, and the review is yours to keep.
Is the concept public?
No. It is a private, independent design by Steadline, at a link only you receive. It is marked so search engines don't index it, labelled as not affiliated with your business, and taken down whenever you ask.
How long does it take?
We aim to send a concept within two business days of your request. If we need longer, we will tell you.
For a full site, your agreement sets a target timeline counted from when we have your content. For the Launch plan that target is about 7 business days.
Do I own my website and domain?
Your domain is always registered in your name, and your own content and photos are always yours.
On a pay-once plan, the website design and the copy we write for you transfer to you once the setup fee is paid in full. On the $0-down plan, they transfer after the 12th monthly payment, or earlier if you pay the early buyout amount set out in your agreement.
Am I locked into a contract?
No contract on pay-once plans: hosting and care are month to month, and you can cancel by email (it takes effect at the end of the billing period). The $0-down plan has a 12-month term, because we cover the cost of the build upfront. Either way, everything is written down in a service agreement before you pay anything.
How do you build sites?
With our own studio system: design directions built for specific kinds of businesses, assembled and written for yours, then reviewed and refined by a person. We use AI-assisted tools in production, and a person checks every page. Nothing goes live without your written approval.
Your concepts use stock photos. Will my site?
Concepts use licensed stock photos as placeholders, and they are labelled as stock. On your live site, project galleries and "our work" sections use only your own photos. We never present stock photos as your work.
