Building Spells

Questions before you begin.

Can I create a website here now?

The guided website service is coming soon. You can register interest in the beta and explain what you need. Registration does not generate a site or guarantee an invitation date.

What kinds of websites are planned for the first pilot?

Straightforward business sites with service information, an about page, photographs and a clear enquiry route. Shops, bespoke booking systems, memberships and complex integrations need separate assessment.

How much does a website cost?

Website pilot pricing and the included care plan will be confirmed before any paid commitment. Registration is not a purchase. Other setup, hardware and learning projects are discussed and quoted separately.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, the proposed service can be planned around a domain you control. We’ll check the connection requirements and agree any changes before they are made. Existing email or other services using the domain need to be considered too.

Can I keep my own hosting account?

That is one of the setup routes. We’ll check the provider, proposed site or tools and access requirements before quoting. Keeping your own account and paying for ongoing management are separate choices.

Does self-hosting mean buying a server?

No. It can mean using your own account with a hosting provider. A physical server is another option when the workload, ownership needs and operating responsibilities justify it.

Will everything run locally?

That depends on the agreed setup. A public website, an assistant and an AI model can run in different places. A locally installed assistant can still use a cloud AI service. The proposal should identify the external services involved.

Do I need a powerful graphics card?

Not for every computer or server. A machine using a cloud AI provider has different requirements from one running a named AI model locally. Start with the task and assess the specification from there.

Will owning a server save money?

Sometimes the entered costs favour ownership; sometimes they favour cloud hosting. Compare the same workload and include hardware, installation, electricity, backups, software, AI charges and support. The calculator explains scenarios; it does not guarantee savings or equivalent performance.

Can you work with equipment I already own?

That can be discussed. The first step is checking the machine and intended use. Suitability, any required upgrades and the work included are agreed before a fixed installation quote.

What happens after setup?

Choose a documented handover or agree continuing care. The written scope should explain what maintenance, changes and support are included, and what remains your responsibility.

Who owns the website and software?

The project agreement will identify the domain, site files, content, configuration and documentation supplied to you. Third-party software and the tools used to deliver the service can have separate licence terms. Owning a website or computer does not automatically give ownership of every underlying platform.

Can a parent pay for learning sessions?

Yes. The initial learning offer is for adults aged 18 and over, and a parent can fund the sessions. The learner should help choose the project and agree any progress information shared with the payer.

Do you teach under-18s?

Under-18 sessions are not part of the initial offer. The current learning enquiries are for adults aged 18 and over.

Do I need previous experience?

The learning route is intended for beginners. We’ll discuss your starting point and choose a manageable first website or computer project. You do not need a complete specification to make an enquiry.

Are computers and hosting included in tuition?

They are agreed separately. Teaching time, hardware, domain registration, hosting, paid software and any travel should be clear before booking or ordering anything.

Where do sessions and installations happen?

The format and location are discussed for each project. Tell Tyler where you are based and whether you are looking for an online or in-person arrangement. Availability and any travel costs are confirmed before commitment.

Is sending an enquiry a booking?

No. It starts a discussion. Work, equipment orders and paid sessions begin only after the relevant scope, price and arrangements have been agreed.

How do I start?

Join the website beta for the upcoming website service, or send a project enquiry for setup, hardware or learning.
