Own it, or subscribe to it
One-off builds and managed plans are two ways of buying the same work from the same company. This page compares them honestly so you pick the one that fits your budget and timeline, not the one that answered the phone first.
| What you're comparing | Doman Digital | Managed plan — new build, subscription | Managed plan — already have a site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | From £950 (fixed project price, agreed before we start) | No build fee; first month at signup, then a monthly plan — current figures on our managed plans page | £0 — you already own the site |
| Monthly cost | £0 — nothing recurring unless you choose an add-on | Fixed monthly plan — current figures on our managed plans page | A managed-service plan, priced lower than a new build since there's no build cost to recover |
| Time to launch | 4–12 weeks depending on tier, bespoke build | Days, from a niche template | Live already — the plan starts managing what exists |
| Who owns the code on day 1 | You do, immediately, in full | We do, while you're subscribed — ownership timing depends on the plan | You do — this never changes on an existing-site plan |
| If you leave | Nothing to leave — it's already yours | You keep your domain, accounts, and content on any tier, any time; code ownership depends on the plan and how long you've been subscribed | You keep everything — it was always yours |
| Best for | Established businesses with budget now who want a bespoke asset and day-1 ownership | New or cash-tight businesses who need to be live fast and would rather spread the cost | Anyone with an existing site (built by us or anyone else) who wants it professionally run |
Which one is you?
You want to own it now
Budget available today, want something bespoke, want to own the code from day 1: that's Doman Digital.
You need to move fast on a budget
Need to be live this week, minimal cash upfront, a subscription suits you better than a big invoice: that's our managed plan for new builds.
You already have a website
Whoever built it, if you want it hosted, monitored, and kept improving without doing it yourself, that's a managed plan for existing sites.
