You work alone. What happens if you are unavailable?
This is the right question to ask, so the answer is built into how I work rather than promised verbally. Your domain is registered in your name from day one. Your site runs on standard, boring technology — no proprietary platform to be locked into. On launch you receive the full source code, the login details and a short written handover document. If I disappeared tomorrow, any competent developer could pick your project up on the same day. You are never holding a hostage note.
Who buys the hosting, the domain and the email — and who owns them?
The domain and the email are bought in your own name, on your own account, from the start. That is deliberate: your domain is your address and your email holds your contracts, orders and customer history, and neither should sit in a developer's account where I could read it or where it would die if I stopped paying a bill. Hosting is the one thing that can run on my account — US$179 a year covering the server, SSL, backups and the technical side — and it moves onto an account of your own whenever you ask. You do not have to work any of this out yourself: I will sit with you for fifteen minutes, you enter your own email and payment details, and I do every technical setting afterwards. Forwarding mail from your domain into an inbox you already use costs nothing at all; a full mailbox you can also send from is a few dollars a month.
Do I actually own the website?
Yes. After the final payment the site, its content and its domain are yours outright — to keep, to move elsewhere, or to hand to another developer. The domain is in your name the whole time, never mine.
Do you work with clients outside North America?
Yes — I work remotely with clients in Southeast Asia and elsewhere, not only North America. Pricing for a specific project is discussed directly so it fits the actual scope and region, rather than being shown as a fixed public grid. The work, the process and the care are the same wherever you are.
Do you use AI to build my site?
I use AI the way any current developer does — to draft, to check my work, to move faster. What you are paying for is the part AI cannot do: deciding what your business actually needs, wiring it to a real domain and mailbox, testing it on real phones, being reachable when something breaks at an awkward hour, and being accountable for the result. A generated page is not a working system, and it is not a relationship.
How do contracts, invoices and tax work?
Rayspring Tech currently operates as an independent development brand. Formal projects include a written scope, payment records, and numbered invoices. Applicable business and tax information will be stated in the proposal or invoice where legally required.
How do I pay, and when?
Projects under US$1,000 — including the Landing Page / Micro Website package — are half to begin and half on final approval, before launch or before the source code is handed over. Over US$1,000, the total is split into three: 40% to begin, 30% once the design or first milestone is approved, and 30% before launch. Large custom systems follow a phased plan set out in the proposal. The deposit reserves your place in my schedule and is normally non-refundable once work has begun. Third-party costs — domains, paid email, premium plugins, APIs — are paid by you before they are purchased. A project paused for more than 30 days may need rescheduling. Invoices are in US dollars by bank transfer, Wise or PayPal, and I never start billing for anything we have not agreed in writing.
What if I do not like what you build?
Every package includes at least one collected round of revisions, which is where most of the shaping happens — one round for the Landing Page / Micro Website, two for the Professional Website, three for the Business Website. The number that applies to you is on the package card and repeated in your written scope sheet; further rounds are US$120 each. If it is still not right after that, we talk about it honestly — you pay for the work completed and nothing more, and you keep what has been produced. I would rather part on good terms than argue over a website.
Can I update the site myself afterwards?
Where the scope includes an admin area — most business and church sites do — yes, and I will show you how, on a call, at your pace. If you would rather not touch it, a care plan means you email me the change and it is done.
How quickly do you reply?
I personally review every project inquiry and usually respond within one business day — and it is me replying, not a form letter or an assistant. You are dealing with the person who writes the code the whole way through.
