From choosing a plan to your first sign-in: what signing up for a Domma CMS site looks like, what it costs each month, and how you change your plan or Tools later without ringing anyone.

Signing up for a website should not mean a sales call. This walks through every step of signing up for a Domma CMS site, so you know exactly what you will see and what you will pay before you start.

1. Choose a plan

There are three:

  • Domma Managed - we host your site and look after it, and you tell us what to change.
  • Hosted - your own Domma CMS site, run by us. You get the full CMS, plus Docs, Garage, Messages and Theme Roller.
  • Pro - Hosted plus every Pro Tool.

Your monthly bill sits beside the plans and updates as you choose.

Build your site: Domma Managed at £49, Hosted at £79 and Pro at £149 a month, with the bill beside them

2. Add the Tools you want

On Hosted, switch on any paid Tool you need: Blog Pro, Calendar, SEO Pro, and the rest. Each one shows its monthly price, and the bill adds them up as you go, so there are no surprises later.

Adding Tools: Blog Pro, Calendar and SEO Pro switched on, and the bill comes to £113 a month

3. Have a discount code?

Type it under the bill and press Apply. You see the lower price, and how long it lasts, before you pay.

A discount code on the bill: 25% off for 3 months, then the full price

4. Your details, then payment

Give your site a name, add your own domain if you have one, and enter your name and email. Then Continue to payment takes you to Stripe's secure page to pay by card. You pay monthly, and you can cancel at any time.

Your details: the site's name, an optional domain, your name and email, then Continue to payment

5. Your site is ready

Your site is set up for you, with your Tools switched on. An email tells you it is ready, with a Set your password button that works for 7 days. There is no account to make before you pay, and no password to remember until you choose one.

6. Change anything later, yourself

Manage my site, from a link we email you, shows what your site has, what it costs each month and when it renews. From there you can open your admin, update your card, see your invoices, or cancel.
