The Better Option
Pay Monthly Websites
Gatsboy used to offer Pay Monthly Websites too.
Then we realised something wasn’t right.
Pay Monthly Websites sound affordable, we used to offer this — then we listened
In reality, they quietly cost you more — and you never truly own your site. Our customers spoke up, and we listened.
The problem with Paying Monthly
Locked into a subscription
Do not have full ownership
Fake perceived value
Difficult to work with external vendors
Often sold additional services
Gatsboy started in 2018 with a simple mission: build great websites for small businesses without the usual agency headaches.
At the time, Pay Monthly Websites felt like the “right” solution. Lower upfront cost. Managed service. Everything handled for you.
But over time, we noticed a pattern.
Some of our most loyal customers had paid significant amounts for websites they still didn’t fully own — even after years of paying.
That didn’t sit right with us.

Why paying monthly for your website is hurting your business
Why paying monthly for your website is hurting your business
Pay Monthly Websites are often sold as flexible and affordable.
In practice, they come with real downsides:
You’re locked into an ongoing subscription
You don’t have full ownership or control
The total cost quietly adds up over time
Moving to another provider becomes difficult
Extra services are often sold on top
In simple terms, you’re renting something you should own.

Instead of bundling everything into one never-ending monthly fee, we split things the way they should be.

Pay for your website
Your website is a digital asset — not a subscription.
With Gatsboy, you pay a fixed, one-off fee of $500 to design and build your site. Once it’s ready, it’s transferred into your own Framer account.
You own it
You control it
No lock-in
$500 / one-off
Subscribe to what adds value
Some things do make sense as subscriptions — just not your website.
That’s why we offer optional Gatsboy Pro Modules
for $47/month. Tools and services that actively support your business growth.

10+ Pro Modules
$47 / month
