Remove the watermarks.
Go live.
The site currently up is a working preview, watermarked and marked unlicensed on every image and page. It's ready to run under your name today — it just isn't paid for. Here's what that costs.

THE CURRENT SITE, UNLOCKED
$200 down + $50/month
This keeps the site exactly as it stands today — same design, same catalog, same booking page — and turns it from a watermarked demo into your real, live artist site.
- All GRIM EMPIRE watermarks removed from every photo and section
- Real domain connected (or a permanent link if you don't have one yet)
- Booking form wired to your actual inbox — no longer a preview
- Mobile QA and launch pass
$50/month covers hosting, uptime, and minor content updates — new shows, new tracks, bio edits. New sections, redesigns, or a store are separate scope. Cancel anytime; watermarks return if the account lapses.

- The $50/month care plan activates at launch.
Fair warning
The preview stays watermarked and the booking form stays disconnected until the $200 clears. This isn't a negotiating tactic — it's the real state of an unpaid project.
