[Everything on this row]
- [01]
What you get
- Up to 8 pages
- custom home
- CRM export
- payment link
A custom home page means the top of the site is drawn for your business rather than filled into a template: your services in the order you sell them, with the one you most want booked at the top of it. CRM export means enquiries do not sit trapped in a website — they leave as a file your spreadsheet or your CRM opens, so the follow-up happens where you already work. The payment link is a real link a customer can pay on, placed on the page or sent in a message, so a deposit is taken while somebody is still deciding rather than a week later when you remember to chase it.

What it costs
Offers do not stack. You always get the lowest eligible price.
Double priority costs 30% on top — $459 on this row — and your build takes the next free slot ahead of standard work, which halves Atlas's cap to 72 hours. It buys a position in the queue, not corners cut: the page count, the revision rounds and the signed scope are exactly the ones you would have had at the standard price.

How long it takes, and what the clock counts
[Max 144H][Two revision rounds]
Turnaround is counted from the moment we accept the brief, not from the moment you send it. 144H is the longest the studio will take on Atlas at the scope above — it is a cap, not an average, and it belongs to this row rather than to the studio.
Time the studio spends waiting on you — content, access, approvals, an answer to a question — does not count against it. The terms are in the offer, in the clause about the clock.

What happens, day by day
- [01 · The brief]It starts from what you sell and what each of it costs, service by service, because that is what decides the shape of the site rather than the other way round.
- [02 · The quote]The scope comes back in writing with the pages listed and the services on them named, and anything outside it is priced there, before it is built.
- [03 · The first instalment]The instalment clears, the brief is accepted, and the cap begins.
- [04 · The build]The home page is drawn first and shown to you before the rest is built on top of it. A layout is the expensive thing to change late, so it is the first thing you get to argue with.
- [05 · The revision round]You review the whole site on its own address, with the payment link and the export both working, not described. The count is published on the card, in these words: “Two revision rounds”.
- [06 · Handover]Every account the site runs on — hosting, domain, the payment link, the analytics — is registered to you, and the logins come with it.

What you have to give us
Your service list with the prices you actually charge, which is the single thing that holds a build this size up longest. Photographs of the work and of the people doing it. Your logo, and the fonts and colours if somebody made them for you. The account you take payments through, or the decision to open one — it is opened in your name, with you present, and the studio never holds the keys to money that is yours. Whatever your enquiries have to end up inside, so the export lands in the right shape the first time. And one person with the authority to say yes: a build this size with two sign-offs takes twice as long as the cap it is sold under, and the waiting is not the studio's to spend.

What is not included
- Writing your service descriptions from nothing. The studio edits and lays out what you send.
- A booking system that manages staff rotas, resources or availability across more than one location.
- A catalogue, a basket and customer accounts. A shop is the row above.
- A second language, in any part of the site.
- Integrations with your own back-office software beyond the export the row names.
- Photography, illustration and brand design.
None of that is a refusal, and none of it is priced by surprise. Work beyond the scope on this row is new work, and it is quoted and agreed the same way before it begins — the offer says so in the clause about what you are buying.

Compass or Meridian instead?
Choose Atlas when several services carry several prices, you want a deposit taken on the spot, and the enquiry has to land in whatever you already run the business from.
- Compass — up to 3 pages, $765Choose Compass the moment a menu, a price list or a services page needs an address of its own, and you would rather enquiries arrived written down than as a missed call.
- Meridian — up to 15 pages, from $3,175Choose Meridian when the site takes the money, holds the stock, or has to agree with a system you already run.

After launch
There is more here to keep current — a payment link, a form, and a page for every service you sell. A plan is the difference between hearing about a broken checkout from the studio and hearing about it from a customer who could not pay you.
Switchboard is also the plan that earns the member price above: while it is active, Atlas is $1,386 against its $2,520 list price, which is 45% off. What each plan covers and what each costs is on the monthly page.

The terms
Payment is in two instalments: the first when the studio accepts your brief and the price and scope are fixed, the second on delivery, before the site is handed over. Work does not begin before the first one clears, and nothing is owed until the brief has been accepted. The split is printed in the offer, in the clause about payment.
Your code, your domain, your accounts — yours from day one. The studio registers nothing in its own name: at handover the code, the domain, the hosting, the analytics and the ad accounts are in your name and under your control, whether or not you stay on a monthly plan afterwards.
