Military Discount on Website Design
Veterans are included, along with retirees and everyone serving on active duty, in the National Guard, or in the Reserve. If you own the business, your website build and your first term of SEO Fuel are 10 percent off. A manager can request the discount and send the paperwork for you.
A Website Built to the Standard You Hold Your Own Work To
Veteran-owned companies tend to run on reputation: referrals, repeat customers, and crews who show up when they say they will. Your website is where buyers who have not met you yet form their first impression, and this program gives it the same attention you give the work.
Under the Military and First Responder Program, a business owned by a veteran or a service member pays 10 percent less for the build and the first SEO Fuel term. You get a professionally developed, fully optimized site, live in as soon as five business days. SEO Fuel starts working your Business Profile, listings, reviews, and content the day you check out.
The discount is our thank-you for your service. You gave a great deal, and this is one way we give back. The work is held to the same standard as every build we ship.
What the Military Discount Covers
Here is what the 10 percent comes off, and what stays at the published price.
Included in the 10 percent
- The website build, whether you pay in full or split it into two payments
- Your first term of SEO Fuel: six months on the standard signup, or twelve if you choose a twelve-month first term
- Website hosting while SEO Fuel runs, which SEO Fuel already includes
- Either website program: Flame Authority or Blaze the Market
At the published price
- If you continue SEO Fuel after your first term, it bills at the standard monthly rate
- Website hosting and Website Care Plans run at their published prices after SEO Fuel
- The 10 percent pairs with the savings for paying the build in full, the one offer it combines with
- Ember, Business Profile optimization, and other services bought on their own

Who Qualifies for the Military Discount
Veterans qualify, and so does everyone still serving. The business must be owned by someone in one of these groups.
Veterans
- Veterans of any branch with an honorable or general discharge
- Retired service members
Currently serving
- Active-duty service members
- Members of the National Guard
- Members of the Reserve
The owner holds at least 51 percent of the business, confirmed from your Florida Sunbiz filing, your state's business record, or an SBA VetCert certification. A manager or office staff member can request the discount and send the paperwork on the owner's behalf.
How the Military Discount Works
Send the Eligibility Form
Tell us about the business, who owns it, and how the owner served. The owner or a manager can send it.
Show Proof Your Way
Send one proof of service in whatever way is easiest: a photo, an email, or shown on a call or in person. We use it only to confirm eligibility.
Get Your Discount Code
The code comes from us, so reach out before you check out. We email a code set to the first term you chose, and it applies once per business. Enter it at checkout and the discount shows before you pay.
Check Out and Fill Out the Onboarding Form
Right after you sign up, you go straight to the onboarding form, and the same link arrives by email. Your launch date is set the day that form is complete.
Accepted proof of service
- VA Veteran ID Card
- Veteran Health Identification Card
- A Florida driver license or ID card with the Veteran designation, or your state's equivalent
- A current military ID card
- An SBA VetCert certification for the business
Any one of these is enough. If yours is not listed, send it and we will tell you whether it works.
Check Your Eligibility for the Military Discount
Send the form and you will hear back by the end of the next business day with how to send your proof. Once your code is issued, it works on either website program.
Common Questions from Veterans and Service Members
Does a business owned by my spouse qualify?
Only when the veteran or service member owns at least 51 percent of it. A spouse who manages the business can still request the discount and send the paperwork for the owner.
Do I need to be in Florida to use the program?
No. The program is open nationwide. Fire and Cloud is based in Jacksonville and builds sites for businesses across the country, and proof can be sent from anywhere.
Is Fire and Cloud a veteran-owned business?
No. We are grateful to everyone who has served and who serves now, and this program is one way we give back to the people who gave so much. Every build is held to the same standard.
