Yes, at Morgan Web Design, we understand that your business needs can change over time. Therefore, we offer the flexibility to upgrade or downgrade your service package.

Upgrading Your Package:

To initiate a downgrade, please reach out to us. We will guide you through the process and adjust your billing accordingly for the next cycle.

Please note, it is not possible to downgrade pay-monthly website packages within the first 12 months. Package changes are subject to the terms and conditions of your current contract, including any notice periods or fees for changes.

The monthly rate you see is what you pay, ensuring simplicity and predictability in budgeting.

Certain specialised services or custom projects might require specific setup efforts. In such cases, any setup fees would be clearly communicated and agreed upon before the commencement of the project.
