Hello, this is part of the [Blaqk Stereo July Budget](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-blaqk-stereo-july-budget/24049). This website we intend to build is going to be the official website of [Blaqk Stereo Dao](http://gov.near.org/t/introduction-blaqk-stereo-dao/16926) and also the place we will be posting the profiles of the [Guinness world record](http://gov.near.org/t/report-june-guinness-world-record-longest-recording-marathon-with-multiple-artists/23968) holders as well other activities we will be having in our Dao as we proceed. It is a more organized way of representing our DAO and we intend to host it on [Squarespace](https://www.squarespace.com/). The domain has already been purchased from [Porkbun](https://porkbun.com/). _Duration:_ _3 weeks_ **Details of expenses below:** |Purpose|cost($) | — | — | — | |Hosting|$270 to $300 for a year. |Domain|$30 (for two years) |Graphics (3D & 2D)|$500 (covers for all the designs to go up on the website) | |_Total_|_$800_ _Requesting: $800_ The design process will be directed and carried out by me and a member of Blaqk Stereo DAO who is a professional website designer “andrepryme.near” _payout: blaqkstereo.sputnik-dao.near_ @marketingdao-council ---

Hi @Hawwal, Since I believe that proposal for website should fall under Marketing vertical, here’s some question: > [@Hawwal](#): > > |Hosting|$270 to $300 for a year. What service are you going to use? since even the most expensive option on Porkbun (the one that you mention above) is 10$/month. > **[porkbun.com | Web Hosting Solutions](https://porkbun.com/products/web_hosting)** ---

Hi @williamx, yes is it true porkbun offers hosting options from as low as $10 a month but they, however, make use of services like Weebly because they are not directly a hosting website, they only offer domains and email hosting at very affordable prices. The service we intend to use to host this website is [Squarespace](https://www.squarespace.com/) as they have a very reasonable price hosting range and they have very attractive models than would really speed up our workflow in the creation of this website. Thanks ---

Hi there @Hawwal, we have come to the conclusion that we are not knowledgeable enough about web building to make a conclusion around if these prices are fair. So proposal regarding website building should be proposed to Marketing DAO for this piece of your project, so [@marketingdao-council](https://gov.near.org/groups/marketingdao-council) can review your proposal. Sidenote: Please regards the conversation [here](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-vr-dao-june-funding-request/22638/8) And also please revise the main proposal after this. ---

Thanks for your proposal, Considering that this is a small section of a wider proposal already approved by creatives, I am willing to support this. As always, please submit a monthly report. Any unused balances can be carried forward to other proposals. Looking forward to seeing the new website! ---
