We offer two pricing plans. If you're aware of technology & programming, you should choose the Professional plan because it provides 100% unencrypted source code. It gives you complete access to source code files to modify and customize it however you want. The Starter plan offers a minified source code files. A starter plan recommended for the first-time entrepreneur trying to launch a business online.

Minification means removing all the unnecessary characters from the source code without changing its functionality. These characters are needed to add readability to the code, but they are not required to execute.
Minified source code is not recommended for development because it makes code almost impossible to read and edit. When development problems arise, you want to see the source and try small changes that are much easier to do with unminified source code.
