Standard hosting with SSL
Standard hosting with an SSL certificate kept active so the site stays on HTTPS.
Managed Website Care
A website isn't done at launch. Software needs updates, backups need to run, and someone needs to notice when something breaks. Managed Website Care handles that ongoing work so you can run your business.
Who it's for
- ✔ Owners who don't want to log in and run updates themselves
- ✔ Businesses whose website is an important way customers reach them
- ✔ Sites built by us or by someone else (we review a site before taking it on)
- ✔ Anyone who wants one direct contact when the site needs something
What care covers
Every plan includes standard hosting with SSL and the host's automated backups, automated uptime monitoring, and a monthly contact-form check. Software and plugin updates the site's platform needs are done within your plan's monthly edit time. Anything beyond that time is $99/hour.
The host's automated backups
The host's automated backups, so there's a recent copy to restore if something goes wrong.
Automated uptime monitoring
Automated checks that the site is up and responding, so we can look into it when it isn't.
Monthly contact-form check
A monthly check that your contact form is working, so customers can still reach you.
Software and plugin updates
Where the site's platform needs them, software and plugin updates are done within your plan's monthly edit time.
Monthly edit time
Content edits and small changes, within your plan's monthly minutes (15, 30, or 90).

Care plans are hosting plus monitoring and hands-on edit time—not hosting alone. Edit time covers content changes, small fixes, and routine updates like the ones listed above. They're optional and billed monthly, separate from any website project. Unused edit time doesn't roll over, and extra work is $99/hour. Your website package includes the first year of standard hosting. From year two, you choose either hosting only at $299/year or a care plan that already includes hosting—you never pay for both. See how pricing works.
How it works
Step 01
Review the site
We look at the platform, hosting, and current condition.
Step 02
Pick a plan
Essential ($49), Business ($99), or Growth ($199) care, based on how often the site changes.
Step 03
Onboard
Access, backups, and a baseline check are set up.
Step 04
Ongoing care
Updates, backups, checks, and agreed improvements, month to month.
Plans are $49, $99, or $199 a month. Each includes hosting, so you never pay for hosting twice. See full pricing.

FAQ
Is care required after you build my site?
No. You can manage the site yourself. Care is there if you'd rather not.
Can you take over care for a site someone else built?
Often, yes. We review the site first. If it needs repairs before care makes sense, we'll tell you.
