We build bespoke, maintenance-free websites for illustrators, authors, and self-publishers — pay once, own it forever, no monthly hosting fees ever again.
✦ How It Works
From our first conversation to your launch day, here is exactly what working with The Great Hello Studio looks like.
You tell us about your creative work, your goals, and your vision. We review your submission and respond within a few days to schedule a free 30-minute discovery call. No commitment required at this stage — just a conversation.
Based on your needs, we put together a clear, itemized proposal — fixed prices for each module you need. No hourly rates, no surprise invoices. You choose exactly what you want to include and we agree on a timeline before any work begins.
We design a distinctive visual identity that reflects your brand — your palette, your typography, your aesthetic. You review a working prototype and give feedback. We refine until it feels exactly right. Your voice, not a template.
We draft your about section, portfolio or book pages, contact section, and any journal entries you'd like to launch with. You review and approve every word. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.
We set up free, reliable hosting and connect it to your custom domain. No Squarespace. No Wix. No monthly subscription. Your site lives on infrastructure that costs nothing to maintain — and it belongs entirely to you. We walk you through how to make simple updates yourself going forward.
Every file, every line of code, every image is handed over to you. You are not renting a platform. You are not dependent on a subscription staying active. Your digital home is yours to keep, share, update, and build on — forever.
✦ Modular Pricing
Every module is a one-time fixed fee. Mix and match based on where you are in your journey.
A hand-crafted visual design built around your brand — your colors, your typography, your personality. Fully responsive across all screen sizes. No generic templates.
We deploy your site on free, reliable infrastructure — no monthly bills, ever. We handle the technical setup entirely and teach you how to push updates yourself.
We connect your own domain (e.g. yourname.com) to your site. No ongoing subscription required. You own the domain — we just set it up.
We help set up custom email for you and your team, and connect your team to a collection of cloud computing, productivity and collaboration tools without a monthly subcription.
Exact pricing is provided in your custom proposal after the discovery call. Budget ranges start at under $500 for simple sites.
