Your director website & executive brand

Yes. The domain stays registered to you, at the registrar where you bought it. Nothing is bought again and nothing is transferred to us. We point the domain at your new website.

If you own more than one domain, choose the one closest to your full name as the main address, since that is what a committee types when it searches for you. The others forward to it, so every address reaches the same site.

You never share your GoDaddy password with us. There are two ways to do it, and you choose.

1. Delegate access. In your GoDaddy account, open Account Settings, then Delegate Access, and invite us with an access level that covers your domains. We make the changes, and you can remove our access at any time.
2. Or enter two records yourself. We send you the DNS records for your domain, and you add them in GoDaddy's DNS settings. It takes about ten minutes, and we check them from our side.
3. We then switch on the SSL certificate so your site opens securely (https), and set your other domains to forward to the main one.

Yes, on Web Basic and Web Premium. The domain is only the address. Hosting is the server your website runs on, its SSL certificate and its upkeep, which we set up and maintain. Owning the domain means we don't need to buy one for you. The hosting fee is the same: ₹1,500 a month on Web Basic and ₹2,500 a month on Web Premium (plus GST), billed annually.

Thought Leadership has no separate domain or hosting charge. Both are included in the annual fee.

Yes. There are fifteen sample sites above, five for each plan, each in a different design. Every one is a working site you can click through. The directors on them are fictional, so you can judge the design and the scope freely.

Your site is designed around your own career, board readiness and photograph. Tell us which design direction you like and we build yours in that spirit.

Web Basic and Web Premium give you a website. Thought Leadership also keeps your name in front of the people who make board appointments, all year, managed for you. It covers:

1. Everything in Web Premium: your domain, a multi-page website with a blog, and hosting.
2. Dedicated management of your executive brand: one consistent positioning across your website and LinkedIn, kept current as your candidacy develops.
3. Subject-matter content published to your website: articles in your field and in your name, drafted with you and published after you approve them.
4. LinkedIn leadership authority development, run for you: your profile and your posts built around the expertise a nomination committee is looking for.
5. A steady publishing rhythm, so your expertise shows consistently rather than occasionally. The Thought Leadership samples show what that looks like: a named series, a newsletter, a speaking and media page, and publications.

A recent leadership photograph (a professional head-and-shoulders portrait works best). If you are an India ID Exchange member, we start from the profile and board CV already on your account, so you don't need to send your career details again. Anything else the build needs, we ask for as we go.

If you are using a domain you own, we also need delegate access or the DNS records added, as described above.

Web Basic is delivered in two working days from the day we have everything we need. For Web Premium and Thought Leadership, we confirm the timeline when your details arrive, because it depends on how many pages and articles you want to start with.

Today you pay the build and the first year of hosting together: ₹50,740 for Web Basic and ₹94,400 for Web Premium, including GST. Thought Leadership is ₹2,36,000 for the year, including GST.

Hosting renews yearly from the date your site goes live (₹18,000 or ₹30,000 + GST a year). Thought Leadership renews yearly. Nothing renews automatically; we invoice the next year before it starts.

No, and nobody can promise that. A website makes sure that when a nomination committee, a chair or a search firm looks you up, what they find is clear, current and in your own words. The appointment decision stays with the board.
