The Northstar Launch Plan gives early-stage service businesses a tailored, conversion-focused website for $499 upfront, followed by $50 per month for hosting, routine care, and ongoing technical maintenance. 12-month initial service term. First-year total: $1,099. Focused scope: up to 3 essential pages. Required Powered by Northstar SEO footer credit while enrolled.

FOUNDER-LED / GROWTH SYSTEMS / UNITED STATES

Lower upfront structure / 01

A focused managed website plan for an early-stage business.

$499 setup + $50/month

12-month initial service term. First-year total: $1,099.

Focused scope: up to 3 essential pages. Required Powered by Northstar SEO footer credit while enrolled.

The lower upfront cost preserves capital while Northstar manages the website’s hosting and routine technical care. The focused scope is not a complete Growth System and is not a fixed price for every website.

A project does not begin until a written agreement and required payment are completed. A Revenue Roadmap or Project Questionnaire does not create automatic acceptance, authorize billing, or charge the applicant.

Why does this plan include Northstar branding?

The Launch Plan reduces the upfront investment in exchange for an ongoing managed relationship and a subtle Northstar credit at the bottom of the website. The credit does not replace or compete with the client’s own brand.

The Powered by Northstar SEO credit remains while the website is enrolled in the Launch Plan. Removal is available by moving to an eligible unbranded service or after completing the initial term and arranging a transfer under the signed agreement.
