Less head-scratching. More clarity.
Who owns the website, and can I move it?
You control your domain from day one. Ownership of the custom website design and code transfers after the initial 12-month term and payment of all 12 agreed monthly instalments. You can then move providers without a Brimvane exit fee; we supply the available source, content and reasonable handover information. New hosting and migration costs are not included. Third-party components keep their own licences, and non-transferable services are identified in your order. The first year is a commitment, not a cancel-anytime trial. After that, renewal is month to month only under the arrangement you expressly accept in your service order. Email us before the next billing date to end that ongoing arrangement; we agree a handover date before hosting ends.
Full service terms ↗What does the starting package include?
Up to 5 core pages, 2 consolidated prelaunch revision rounds, and 30 minutes of small content updates each month with no rollover. Routine technical maintenance is separate from the content allowance. The plan covers one location or agreed service area. One targeted local SEO improvement each month, agreed with you, plus a short progress summary. New pages, major redesigns and ongoing articles are outside the allowance. Your service order confirms the scope before you commit.
What does Brimvane actually do?
We build and manage websites for home-service businesses, with hosting, ongoing care and local SEO in one monthly subscription. We help plumbers, electricians, cleaners, landscapers and other trades show their work and turn local searches into enquiries.
I already have a website. Can you help?
Absolutely. We start by looking at what works, what gets in your customers’ way, and what needs changing. Sometimes a focused refresh is enough. If a rebuild makes more sense, we’ll explain why before you commit.
How much will my website cost?
Subscriptions start at US$150 per month with no upfront website build fee. The starting plan includes a custom website, hosting, care and ongoing local SEO for one business location or service area. A 12-month initial term applies: from US$1,800 in the first year before applicable taxes. Your written order confirms the pages, monthly work, applicable taxes and any optional third-party costs before you commit.
How long does it take to launch?
We agree a realistic timeline after reviewing your brief. The amount of content, custom functionality and how quickly we can review things together all affect the schedule. You’ll know the key stages before work starts.
Do I need to write everything myself?
You know your business best, so we’ll need your input. We can help turn that knowledge into clear website copy. Existing photos, customer questions and a simple list of your services are a good place to start.
Will my website work on a phone?
Yes. Mobile layouts, readable text, fast-loading images and easy-to-use enquiry controls are part of the build. We test across small and large screens before launch.
What does the local SEO work include?
After initial SEO setup: One targeted local SEO improvement each month, agreed with you, plus a short progress summary. A monthly task might be improving one existing service page, correcting an agreed set of business listing details, or refining an eligible Google Business Profile. We agree one task, not every example each month.
What happens after launch?
We keep hosting and care running, handle the content updates in your plan and continue the agreed local SEO work. You get a monthly progress summary and a clear way to request changes. Larger additions or extra locations need your approval before the subscription price changes.
Can you guarantee rankings or a number of leads?
No. We improve the things we can control: your website, business information, content and enquiry route. Google rankings also depend on competition, searcher location and Google's systems. We report the work and available results honestly. Paid advertising and ad spend are not included in the subscription.
Can we work together remotely?
Yes. Brimvane is registered in the United States and works with businesses internationally, including the US, Canada and Australia. We can review designs and share feedback remotely. Tell us your time zone and we will agree practical communication times.
