Your new website and its monthly care
I build each site around the business it belongs to, then keep it running. Monthly care starts the day it launches, and you have one person to ask whenever something needs to change.
What monthly care covers
Hosting and updates
Your site runs on servers I manage. I keep its software up to date, fix problems as they come up and renew its security certificate before it runs out.
A staff login
A private sign-in for you and your staff to change the parts of the site you update most, with a record of every change.
Daily backups
Your site's information is copied every day, so it can be put back if something is ever lost.
Site checks
Your site checks in with my monitoring system every five minutes, so I can see when something stops working.
Email from your site
Form messages and staff sign-in codes from your site go out through a dedicated email service built to reach the inbox.
Small changes
Send me new hours, a price, a photo or a line of text, and I'll put it up.
Quoted separately
New pages, a redesign, an online store, and work that isn't a website (networks, Wi-Fi, cameras, email setup) are quoted on their own, and you see the price before you agree to anything.
What does it cost?
It depends on the business, so each site is quoted after we've talked and I've seen what you have. You'll know the deposit and the monthly price before anything is built.
How a new site comes together
We talk
You tell me about the business, who your customers are and what you have now.
You get a quote
I tell you what I'd build and what it costs. A deposit starts the work, and it counts toward your first months of care.
I build it
You see the site and tell me what to change before it goes public. Bigger sites are built in stages.
It launches
Your site goes live and monthly care starts that day. The first twelve months of care are a commitment.
After a year, the site is yours
Keep monthly care going, or leave with 30 days' notice and take the site with you.
If you leave before the twelve months are up, you can pay the rest of the year and keep the working site, or leave with your domain and your own words and photos and owe nothing more. The cancellation and refunds page has the details.
Already have a website?
Send me its address and a few lines about the business. I'll look it over before we talk.
