Transactional Email
What automated emails should the site send?
"Transactional emails" are automatic messages the site sends in response to a user action — for example: your inbox receiving a copy of a contact form submission, or a registrant receiving a ticket confirmation after signing up for an event. This section is about those behind-the-scenes emails, not your regular newsletters.
7
Hosting & Deployment
How will the site be hosted once it's built?
Hosting is what keeps your website live and accessible on the internet around the clock — think of it as renting space on a server. Without it, a finished website exists only on the developer's computer. There are two options below. Note on domain names: regardless of which option you choose, your domain (e.g. www.yoursite.co.uk) is always purchased separately — typically £10–£20 per year from a registrar such as Namecheap or GoDaddy.

Database notes
¹ Full relational database — included: Required for any feature that stores or retrieves structured data on the server: news/blog posts, event listings, event registrations (free or paid), newsletter sign-ups, donor records, or a shop order history. Built as a secure hosted database with access controls and row-level security. The database infrastructure is included in the price of the features that require it — there is no separate charge.

No extra fee — the database is included. It is flagged here so you understand what your selected features involve technically.
