Are there really no monthly fees?
Correct. You pay once and you own the kit forever. Your only ongoing costs are the hosting plan you choose (typically a few dollars a month from any reputable host) and your domain name (about ten dollars a year).
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The installer walks you through everything in your browser. You don't write a single line of code, you don't touch the database, and you don't edit configuration files by hand. If you can fill out a form and click a button, you can install this platform.
What hosting do you recommend?
Any hosting plan that supports PHP 8 and MySQL will work. Most shared hosts in the five-to-ten-dollar-a-month range qualify. If you're starting fresh, a Hostinger or DreamHost shared plan is a fine starting point. As your audience grows, you can move to a larger plan without losing anything.
Can I customize the design?
Yes. Every variant ships with a built-in customizer that lets you swap the color palette, the typography, the spacing, and the layout density without writing any code. If you do want to write code, every variant is built on standard CSS that any developer can work with.
What happens after the first year?
Your kit keeps working exactly as it did on the day you bought it. Forever. After the first year, updates and support become a paid renewal at a reduced rate, but the renewal is optional. Plenty of customers buy once, install once, and never come back, and that's fine with us.
