How it works

How it works, in three steps

1

Tell us about you

Tell us the look you're after, or show us a site you love. Then send a few photos, your story, and what you'd like your site to do.

2

We build your free preview

We make the template yours, with your name, colors and words, then show you the real thing. No payment until you've seen it and you're happy.

3

Go live & relax

Love it? We register your domain, publish it, back it up, and look after it from there. Want a change later? Just message us.

Your personal agent at ichdu
Why ichdu is different

Most hosts give you a login. We give you a person.

Most hosts hand you a dashboard and wish you luck. Instead, you get a finished website and your own personal agent who builds it, keeps it current, and looks after it, so you never have to think about it again. Need a change? Just message us, and it's done by tomorrow. You'll never touch code, logins or dashboards.

Good to know

Clear, honest terms

The simple stuff, in plain language. Full details are in our Terms.

• Hosting is optional

You never have to host with us. If you'd rather host your finished website somewhere else, that's completely fine.

• Everything stays yours

On the hosting plan your domain is registered in your name, so you're the legal owner, and you can verify that on any public lookup. Leave whenever you like and we hand your domain and your website files over within one business day, at no cost. Any registrar or transfer fees after that are yours; standard .com, .net and .org names are included, and premium or already-owned names are quoted separately.

• Security & SSL included

Every ichdu-hosted site includes a free SSL certificate (the padlock and https), renewed automatically, with no add-on and no extra charge. Your visitors' connection stays secure by default.

• Content & copyright

You own and are responsible for the text, photos and material you give us. ichdu builds and hosts your site at your request and isn't liable for copyright of client-supplied content.

• Free preview, no obligation

We build your website before you pay anything. If you look at it and it isn't right for you, you can walk away owing us nothing. There's no fee, no deposit and no obligation.

• Backups, from day one

On the hosting plan we back your site up the day it goes live, again after every edit we make, and monthly thereafter. Ask us any time and we'll send you a copy of your own site to keep.

• No liability for loss

We take great care, but ichdu isn't liable for any loss of data, income or business arising from your website or its hosting.

• What edits are included?

Small changes are unlimited and free, anytime: updating your text, prices or photos, and swapping images in and out on your existing pages. Just message us — there's no limit and no meter. On top of that, once a month you can ask for a bigger content refresh, like reworking a section or restyling a page. Brand-new pages, new features, online stores, or content we have to write or photograph for you are quoted first, so there's never a surprise.

• Results & pricing

We can't guarantee specific traffic, rankings or sales. Prices start at the amounts shown and may vary with the size of your project.

This is a friendly summary. Please read our full Terms & Disclaimers and Privacy Policy for the complete details.
