WEBSITE BUILDERS

Ghost

Publishing platform for newsletters and memberships.

GOOD AT

Writing, email, and subscriptions.

STILL ON YOU

The theme, the setup, and the growth.

WHAT IT COSTS

Free software, paid hosting

The model, not a number. Prices change; the shape of the bill does not.

WHO IT IS FOR

A writer or a publication selling a subscription.

WHO IT IS NOT FOR

A service business that needs a booking and a quote.

THE HONEST NOTE

The best tool on this list for one specific job.

Where this leaves you.

Ghost is a tool. Using it means you are the one who decides what the page says, what it looks like, what happens when a form stops sending, and who answers at nine on a Sunday. That is a fair trade if you have the time and the taste for it.

Nimos is the other trade: we do that work, on a written scope, at one price, and the site, the funnel and the engines are delivered when it ships. You are not expected to learn Ghost, or to manage anyone who did.

Ghost, against the other trade

Both columns are honest. The left one is a tool that does what it says. The right one is a studio that does the work. The only question is which one you wanted.

What arrives for a business

Ten things, every build. The list is the ceiling, not a marketing sentence — if it is not on this list it is not in the price.

A written scope and one fixed price
Agreed before any work starts. The number you sign is the number you pay.
The words, written for the customer
Every page answers what a buyer asks, not what the owner wants to say.
The design, from a system already live
Not a template you fill in. A layout built from the same system as every other build, adapted to the trade.
The build, fast on a real phone
Tested on cellular data, not on the studio's wi-fi.
The enquiry path
Form, notification, and a record of what came in — wired in, not bolted on.
Local search structure
Real headings, structured data, a sitemap, and the town named in the words.
The launch
Domain pointed, certificate checked from outside, redirects in place.
One revision round, in writing
A list of changes, agreed, done, and closed — not an open-ended tab.
The handover
Code, design, content and logins, in the business's name. Nothing held back.
Changes after launch, through the portal
Queued and done when we are in there. No retainer required to ask.

What it costs, line by line

These are the published prices, in Canadian dollars before tax, from the same table the plan page charges from. A build is quoted as one fixed number against a written scope — this is what the lines add up to, not an offer.

Published line prices for a Nimos build.
The site	$2,500
The site plan	$450
A funnel	$450
Local search setup	$350
Care	$150
Site Watch	$49

What you can check before you call

There are no testimonials on this page, because there are none to show. What there is instead is four things you can open in another tab and judge for yourself.

The build log

Every change this studio ships to its own site, dated, with the commit behind it.

The work

Five real builds, named, with what was actually done on each one.

The accessibility rules

The contrast, type and motion limits this site enforces on itself, stated publicly.

The status page

What is up, what is down, and what changed — not a badge that always says green.
