Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will I own my domain name with the Monkey Business WaaS plans?

Always! Ownership of your domain name (URL) is an important part of your business’ online identity, adding credibility to your business and making your company look professional. Purchasing rights to your domain name reserves the name exclusively for your use, as long as you continue to renew it via your registrar.

Is website hosting included?

Yes! Premium cloud hosting, SSL certificates, and daily backups are all included in your monthly subscription, so you never have to worry about server maintenance.

May I host my site elsewhere?

No. To ensure maximum security, speed, and reliability, all Monkey Business websites are hosted exclusively on our high-performance cloud infrastructure.

Our WaaS platform is a fully managed ecosystem in which design, backend maintenance, and security protocols are integrated directly into our hosting environment. Moving the site to a third-party host would break these critical connections, compromising your website’s performance and security.

Is SEO included in the monthly WaaS plans?

We include foundational on-page SEO (mobile optimization, meta tags, and site speed setup) with every build to ensure your site is search-engine friendly.

Please note: Our focus is on the technical build and on-page content. We do not provide off-page SEO (such as backlinking or Public Relations). For advanced monthly growth campaigns, we recommend hiring a dedicated third-party SEO specialist.

Am I able to purchase additional website features?

Yes. Some of the website features offered by Monkey Business that are not already included in the plan you’ve chosen may be purchased separately as a monthly add-on.

Do the WaaS plans include emails?

No. Although we provide high-performance cloud hosting, we do not offer email hosting services. For professional email (like name@yourbusiness.com), we strongly recommend using Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, which provide superior security and features.

How many pages will my site have?

That is contingent upon your specific needs. For your convenience we offer three WaaS plans for you to choose from.

1. Starter Plan: Single page
2. Business Plan: Standard five (5) page website
3. Premium Plan: 6-20 page website

Additional pages may by purchased by upgrading your plan. For Premium Plans additional pages are available at our prevailing rate.

How long does it take to build the website?

Timelines vary by plan and client responsiveness, generally ranging from:

  • WaaS Starter Plan (2–3 weeks)
  • WaaS Business Plan (4–6 weeks)
  • WaaS Premium Plan (8–12 weeks)

Why this timeframe? We don’t just build a shell; we create a secure, fully managed digital asset. Our comprehensive process includes:

  • Content & SEO Strategy: Professional web copywriting, stock image curation, precise image formatting, and extensive on-page SEO (keyword research, metadata, and proper file naming).

  • Secure Infrastructure Setup: Configuration of your Cloud Hosting environment, installation of mandatory security protocols, and setup of our backend maintenance hub to ensure ongoing protection.

  • Legal & Compliance: We dedicate time to properly setting up your legal policies (Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Cookie Policy, Disclaimer, EULA) and rigorously testing the website to meet ADA and WCAG accessibility standards.

Who owns the content?

You retain 100% ownership of the specific materials you provide to us, such as your written text, images, and logos.

However, please note that the website design files, source code, layout, custom designs, and software licenses remain the property of Monkey Business. These elements are part of the “Service” you are subscribing to and are not transferred to you.

Do you offer Graphic Design?

Absolutely! If it needs designing, we’re on it. We handle everything from logos and brand identity to print collateral, marketing materials, and custom decals.

Do I own the graphic designs created for the website?

Monkey Business offers an affordable all-inclusive Website-As-A-Service (WaaS) solution for your business needs. Therefore, all content (graphic design, artwork, images, audio, video, licensing, etc.) provided by Monkey Business for creating and using on the website remains the property of Monkey Business and its third-party licensors.

Who owns separately commissioned designs?

Designs commissioned separately, outside of our WaaS subscription plan, are fully licensed to you and/or your business to use freely at your discretion.

Is there an opportunity to purchase additional plugins for my site?

If you require a specific WordPress plugin outside of our standard WaaS ecosystem, we are happy to add it for you. We will simply invoice you for the cost of the plugin license and handle the integration at our standard hourly rate.

Do the WaaS plans include CMS (backend) access?

To maintain the integrity of your website while adhering to government regulations, compliance policies (GDPR and ADA), and industry standards, Monkey Business services all of your support requests via our Client Support Portal.

How are website edits and/or updates completed?

Every WaaS plan includes 1 hour of monthly time for standard content updates. If you just need to swap out some text, change an image, or add/remove a file, you can use our interactive website editor via a special link in your Client Portal, which takes you directly to your live site. If you have a larger project, such as adding new classes to a schedule, posting a blog, or designing a brand-new page, you will submit a Work Request in your Client Portal so we can scope it properly.

Can I only hire Monkey Business to make edits or updates to my site?

As a trusted website service provider, Monkey Business primarily offers a comprehensive all-inclusive Website-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution. However, we understand that some clients may only need edits or updates to their existing websites. We approach each case individually to understand your needs fully, and we may be able to accommodate your request. 

Contact us to discuss your website’s specific maintenance requirements, and we’ll provide a detailed response. 

I do not need website maintenance; can I only pay for the website design?

Actually, website maintenance is mandatory for every website on the internet, regardless of who builds it.

Without ongoing updates, security patches, and compliance checks, a “design-only” website becomes vulnerable to hackers and will eventually break due to software incompatibility. We refuse to build websites that are destined to fail. Our all-inclusive subscription ensures your site remains secure, compliant, and functional 24/7.

Can I purchase the website once it's completed?

In short, no. We operate exclusively as a Website-as-a-Service (WaaS) provider, which means our bespoke websites are not available for outright purchase. Instead of charging you a massive upfront fee to buy the site, we roll the cost of the custom design, premium hosting, 24/7 security, and ongoing management into one predictable monthly subscription. Because this is a fully managed service, we do not sell the website files, offer site exports, or transfer backend access. You will, however, always retain full ownership of the original Client Provisions you provided to us.

How do I get started and are there additional costs or hidden fees?

Ready to get started?
To ensure we are the perfect partner for your business, we require a complimentary 60-minute Discovery Session before onboarding. Please schedule your video consultation using our appointment scheduler to discuss your goals and determine if our WaaS solution is the right fit for you.

Are there additional costs or hidden fees? No. Our pricing is 100% transparent. The monthly subscription fee you see is exactly what you pay. It covers everything required to build, host, securely maintain, and keep your site compliant and up to date, with no surprise costs.

What types of payments do you accept and do I have to pay monthly?

We accept all major credit cards, including:

  • Visa

  • Mastercard

  • American Express

  • Discover

Do I have to pay monthly?
While our WaaS plans are designed as a monthly subscription, we are happy to offer flexibility. Upon request, we can arrange quarterly, semi-annual, or annual payment schedules to best fit your business needs.

Can I cancel at any time, even one month after my site is published?

Our all-inclusive WaaS plans require an initial 12-month commitment (starting with a 3-month pre-payment). This model allows us to build your premium, bespoke website with zero massive upfront agency fees! Your monthly subscription pays for the high-end website build itself, plus your premium cloud hosting, 24/7 security, ADA & Privacy compliance, and ongoing monthly content updates.

After the first 12 months, your plan seamlessly transitions to a month-to-month subscription. Because WaaS is an ongoing, managed subscription service rather than a one-time product purchase, canceling your plan means your website will be unpublished and taken offline. We do not provide site exports, migrations, or backend access. However, you will always retain full ownership of your original “Client Provisions” (the raw text, logos, and image files) that you provided to us for the build.

What happens to my old site once my new site is in process?

As a leading website design company, Monkey Business advises you to back up your old site and retain it while your new site is being developed, ensuring that you can refer to it as needed. 

Are you based in the United States?

Yes, Monkey Business is based in the United States. Founded in 2005 in Oakland, California, we relocated to Oroville after the 2018 Camp Fire. We take pride in our California roots and are committed to supporting our local community and businesses throughout the state.

Location

Monkey Business is owned and operated in the cozy town of Oroville nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California.
