Site care & maintenance

A site nobody tends starts drifting within months.

Hosting if you want it, a few hours of updates each month, or a plan where I handle it for you. You shouldn't need to find someone new every time a price or photo changes.

Hours change. Photos age. A price on the site stops matching the one on Google. Nobody logs in until a customer mentions it. That drift is quiet, and it can cost you walk-ins.

Launch day isn't the end of the site.

What's included

  • Hosting, SSL, and backups when your site is hosted with me
  • Copy, photo, and small layout updates on the Retainer and Care Plan

Where most people start

  • Hosting

    Your site stays up and secure. Uptime, SSL, and backups. Edits aren't included.

    $39/month

  • Development Retainer

    Two hours a month of developer time for small changes, without a new invoice each time.

  • Care Plan

    Your site and your Google listing, both looked after. Small changes are done by the next business day.

    $699/month

  • Refresh

    New photos and copy, a review of your service pages, and a pass on speed and SEO.

    $1,800 one-time

  • Pay as you go

    Business hours, a price, a photo, a sentence. For new pages or design work, I'll let you know what I'd change and what it would cost before I start.

    $175/hour, $150 minimum

Unused hours don't roll over. Time past the cap bills at $175/hour, with no penalty. Hosting, listing management, and the Retainer are month-to-month. The Care Plan has a two-month minimum. Plans work on any platform, but hosting is only included if your site is hosted with me.

The Care Plan works out to about $150 a month less than the Retainer plus extra hours and listing management, and it adds next-business-day turnaround.

Together

Your site and your Google listing age together.

A change on the site that never reaches Google is only half done. The Care Plan covers both. The Retainer covers website work only.

How often does your site change?

A few times a year, every month, or you'd rather it just be handled. Tell me and I'll point you to the plan that fits.
