This Agreement is between Pittsburgh IT, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (“we,” “us,” or “Pittsburgh IT”), reachable at [email protected] and , and the business that signs up for the Founding One-Page Website Plan (“you” or “the Client”). This plan is purchased for business use — not for personal, family, or household purposes. The Agreement is written in plain English on purpose — it says what we do, what it costs, and who owns what. No surprises.
1. The plan at a glance
| What you get | A custom one-page website, designed and built for your business, plus everything in the Website Care Plan below. |
|---|---|
| Build cost | $0 up front — the standard $999 build fee is waived for founding clients. |
| Monthly price | $99/month, starting the day you sign up. |
| Commitment | 12 monthly payments of $99 over a 12-month term ($1,188 total). Billed monthly for your convenience — like an annual software license paid month by month. |
| After 12 payments | The website is yours, outright. Stay on the Care Plan month-to-month, or take your site with you — your choice. |
| Your domain | We register it, set it up, and pay for it — no extra cost. The domain becomes yours, along with the site, once your 12-month plan is paid in full. Already own a domain? It stays yours; we’ll simply point it at your new site. |
| What we need from you | Your basic business information and a card for monthly autopay. We handle everything else. |
2. How this Agreement is accepted
No signature is required. You accept this Agreement by checking the “I agree to the Founding One-Page Website Plan Agreement” box when you sign up. Each monthly payment reaffirms your acceptance of the version of this Agreement that governs your current term.
This Agreement is published at pgh-it.com/terms/founding-one-page-website-plan, with its version number and effective date at the top. If we update it, changes apply to new signups and, for existing clients, only from your next renewal term forward — never retroactively during a term you’ve already committed to. Prior versions are archived and available on request.
3. What we build
We design and build a custom one-page website for your business. It includes the sections a small business needs — your services, service area, photos, reviews or testimonials you provide, hours, and a contact section with click-to-call and a working contact form — built mobile-first, with hosting, HTTPS, and search-engine basics configured.
- Built from what you have. We build from your existing brand, photos, and business information. If you don’t have photos or copy, we’ll work from your public presence (your Facebook page, Google listing, and similar). You just answer a few questions.
- Two revision rounds. The build includes two rounds of revisions before launch (a round is one consolidated list of changes). Further changes after launch are handled through your Care Plan edits (Section 4).
- Launch timing. We aim to launch within 15 business days of receiving your business information. If we haven’t received what we need within 30 days of signup, we may build and launch from your publicly available information so your spot and schedule aren’t held up — and refine it afterward through your Care Plan edits.
- One page. This plan covers a single-page website. If your business needs multiple pages, our Business package is the right fit — we’ll quote it separately.
4. The Website Care Plan
Every site we build runs on the $150/mo Website Care Plan — founding clients get it at the $99/mo founding rate for their entire 12-month term. It keeps your site fast, secure, and current:
- Hosting, HTTPS, and uptime monitoring. Your site runs on modern, secure infrastructure. There is no WordPress, no plugins, and nothing to patch — which removes the most common way small-business websites get hacked.
- Content edits. Need new photos, updated hours, a price change, a seasonal promo? Email us the change and it’s typically live within two business days. The plan covers up to one hour of edit work each month (unused time doesn’t roll over). Larger changes are quoted before we start — never billed as a surprise.
- A direct line to the person who built your site. No ticket queues, no call centers. You reach the builder directly.
- Domain management. Registration, renewal, and DNS handled for you, at no extra cost, for as long as your plan is active (Section 5).
5. Your domain
As part of the plan, we register a domain for your business and manage it in our registrar account, so you never have to touch DNS settings or renewal notices. A domain we register under this plan is part of the package you’re acquiring: like the website, it is Pittsburgh IT’s property during the term and becomes yours once your 12-month commitment is paid in full (whether by twelve monthly payments, early payoff, or settlement of your account). That transfer of ownership is automatic and guaranteed — this section is your assurance in writing that your domain is never held hostage.
Once the domain is yours and you want it moved to your own account or another provider, we’ll initiate the transfer within 10 business days of receiving both your written request and the one-time $100 administrative fee, which is payable in advance. Transfers are subject to registry rules — for example, registries prohibit transferring any domain during the first 60 days after registration.
If you already own a domain, it remains yours at all times — the vesting rule above applies only to domains we register under this plan. We’ll point your existing domain at your new site and can manage its DNS for you at no extra cost while your plan is active.
6. Term, payment, and your commitment
This plan is a 12-month commitment: 12 monthly payments of $99 ($1,188 total), charged automatically on the same day each month. Under it, you’re acquiring your website for the price of those twelve payments — the same way an annual software subscription is billed monthly. A missed payment doesn’t stretch the schedule — Section 8 applies. There is no cancellation mid-term for convenience; the commitment is the deal that makes the $0-down build possible.
- First payment. Your first $99 payment is charged when you sign up and claims your founding spot. The remaining eleven payments are charged automatically on the same day each month.
- Autopay required. A valid card on file with automatic payment is a requirement of the plan.
- Pay it off early if you like. You may pay the remaining balance of your 12-month commitment at any time. Once the full $1,188 has been paid, the website is yours (Section 7) — no waiting for month 12. Your Care Plan services still continue through the end of the original 12 months (you’ve paid for them), then month-to-month per Section 9.
- If we’re the holdup. If your launch is delayed more than 30 days after signup for reasons within our control, billing pauses until your site is live. Delays caused by waiting on your information don’t pause billing (Section 3).
- If payments stop. The remaining balance of the commitment becomes due (Section 8).
Prices are exclusive of any applicable sales or similar taxes, which are your responsibility if they apply.
7. Who owns what
- During the term: the website and any domain we registered for you are Pittsburgh IT’s property, being acquired by you through your monthly payments — similar to equipment on a payment plan.
- After your 12th payment (or early payoff): the website — its design, content, and files — and the domain are yours, outright. If you later leave the Care Plan, we’ll hand over your site files and initiate your domain transfer (Section 5) so you can host it anywhere.
- Always yours: your business name, logo, photos, and any content you provide remain yours at all times. Every lead, call, and customer your site generates is yours alone — we never resell or share them.
- Always ours: our internal tools, templates, code libraries, and know-how used to build and run sites. Where they’re embedded in your site, you get a permanent, non-exclusive license to use them as part of your site — and that license transfers with the site if you sell your business.
8. If a payment fails
Most failed payments are an expired card, not a problem — so nothing drastic happens right away:
- We retry the card automatically over several days and email you a heads-up.
- If it still hasn’t gone through within 14 days of the first failed payment, your website is temporarily suspended (replaced with a “temporarily unavailable” page). Bring the account current and it’s back online within hours.
- If the account remains unpaid 45 days after the first failed payment, the plan terminates: the site comes down, the domain is not renewed at its next renewal date, and the remaining balance of your 12-month commitment becomes immediately due. Once a domain expires, it can be registered by anyone and may be unrecoverable.
- Settling the account in full at any point completes your purchase: the site and domain then vest to you and are released (plus the domain transfer fee in Section 5, if you move the domain out).
9. After the first year
Once your 12-month term ends with all 12 payments made, the Care Plan continues month-to-month at the then-current rate, and you may cancel any time with 30 days’ written notice (email is fine). We may adjust the monthly rate after the initial term with at least 30 days’ notice. If you cancel, we’ll provide your site files and initiate your domain transfer per Section 5.
10. What this plan doesn’t include
To keep the plan simple and the price honest, the following are separate services, quoted on request: additional pages (our Business package), Google Business Profile setup and management, social media management, ongoing SEO campaigns, paid advertising, e-commerce or online booking systems, email hosting (e.g., Microsoft 365), and copywriting beyond the one-page build.
11. Your responsibilities
You agree to: (a) provide accurate business information and keep us reasonably informed of changes; (b) only provide content you have the right to use — photos, logos, text, and reviews; (c) use the site and services lawfully; and (d) maintain a working payment method during the term. You’re responsible for the accuracy of claims about your own business (licensing, insurance, certifications, pricing) that you ask us to publish.
If you materially breach this Agreement and don’t fix it within 15 days of our written notice, we may suspend or terminate the plan; in that case the remaining balance of your 12-month commitment becomes due, the same as in Section 8.
12. Service standards and disclaimer
We’ll perform all services in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. If something we did doesn’t meet that standard, tell us within 30 days and we’ll redo it at no charge — that’s your remedy and our promise. Beyond that, the services are provided “as is”: we don’t guarantee uninterrupted availability, search-engine rankings, traffic, leads, or revenue, and we disclaim all implied warranties to the fullest extent the law allows.
And this cuts both ways: if we materially fail to provide the services described in this Agreement and don’t fix it within 30 days of your written notice, you may terminate this Agreement and owe nothing further from that point forward.
13. Liability limits
Neither of us is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data. Each party’s total liability under this Agreement is capped at the fees you paid us in the six months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limits don’t apply to gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, your obligation to pay fees, or anything that can’t be limited under law. Both of us agree these limits are a fair allocation of risk that makes this pricing possible.
14. General
- Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control (outages, disasters, vendor failures, and the like) — except payment obligations.
- Governing law and venue. Pennsylvania law governs, and disputes belong exclusively to the state and federal courts of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Before anyone files anything, we both agree to try to resolve the dispute by good-faith discussion for 30 days.
- Notices. Written notice by email is sufficient: to us at [email protected]; to you at the email address on your account.
- Text message alerts (SMS). If you provide a mobile number for alerts, you agree that Pittsburgh IT may text that number about your account — new-lead notifications from your website, follow-up reminders, and service updates. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to opt out, or HELP for help. Consent to text messages is not a condition of purchasing our services, and opting out of texts won’t affect your plan — you’ll still receive the same alerts by email.
- Entire agreement. This Agreement (plus your signup confirmation) is the entire agreement for this plan and replaces any prior discussions. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stands.
- Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the other’s consent, except to a successor in a sale of the business, with written notice.
