to build your site

Choose the plan that fits your site

Every plan includes Managed Website Care, covering everything it takes to keep your site running, secure, and looking great without you having to think about it.

Build includes

Pages are counted by layout, not by URL. Each unique page design counts as one page, regardless of how much content it holds.

Example: a Projects page listing all your work counts as one page, and the detail page showing an individual project counts as one more. You could have 20 projects on your site and it still only counts as 2 pages.

Up to 5

We help write and structure the content for your pages. You know your business best, so we work closely with you to get the right message and tone for each section.

You provide the key details (your services, your story, any specifics) and we shape it into clear, organized copy ready to go on your site.

Your site is built around your existing logo and brand. If you have a logo, we use it as the foundation for your color palette, typography, and overall look.

If you need a logo or are starting from scratch, logo and brand design is available as a separate service before your site build begins.

Add-on

Your site will look great and load fast on phones, tablets, and desktops. We test across common devices and optimize images, fonts, and code for speed.

Your site is built to be usable by as many people as possible, including those using screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive tools. We follow established web accessibility guidelines as part of every build.

A formal accessibility audit is available as a paid add-on for businesses with specific compliance requirements.

We fill in the behind-the-scenes details that help search engines find and rank your site: page titles, short descriptions, and properly labeled content and images.

We also set up structured data and clear content formatting so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can accurately understand and recommend your business. This is called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and it matters more every year.

We also recommend setting up a Google Business Profile to improve your visibility in local search results and on Google Maps. We can walk you through it or handle it as part of your site launch.

We configure the DNS records that connect your domain to a professional email address like hello@yourbusiness.com through Google Workspace or Zoho Mail.

You'll need to create your account with your chosen provider before we can connect it — we handle the technical side as part of your site build.

A form visitors fill out to reach you: a contact form, quote request, feedback survey, or any simple inquiry. We configure the fields, submissions go straight to your inbox, and a single file attachment (like a photo or document) can be included if needed.

1 form

More powerful forms with multiple steps, smart fields that show or hide based on earlier answers, and support for multiple file uploads. Great for quoting flows, client intake, job applications, or any situation where a simple form isn't enough.

Connections to external tools and services built directly into your site, like online booking, Google Calendar, appointment schedulers, or customer management tools.

Accept deposits or service fees directly on your site, useful for booking fees, consultations, or simple product sales, using a trusted and secure payment processor.

A dedicated area for posts, announcements, or articles. We build and style the layout. Posts can be made client-editable through a simple online editor, or we handle publishing when you send us the content.

Connect your site to platforms like Mailchimp or Kit so visitors can subscribe to your list or newsletter directly from your site.

Monthly care includes

Changes to text, images, or page layout requested by you, included up to the hour limit each month. Time beyond your included hours is billed at our standard hourly rate.

Examples: updating hours, swapping a photo, editing a service description.

1 h/mo

How quickly content update requests are typically completed once submitted. Actual timing may vary depending on complexity and current workload.

~2-4 days

Whether something looks off, a link is broken, or you just have a question, you can reach out and we will get back to you within the timeframe for your plan. No issue is too small.

Response times are for initial replies during business hours. Resolution time depends on what needs to be done.

~2 days

If your site goes down, a key function breaks (like a contact form or checkout), or something urgent comes up outside of regular hours, this is the response time you can expect.

Critical issues are prioritized ahead of routine requests regardless of when they come in.

Same day

We handle the server your site runs on and keep your SSL certificate (the padlock in the browser) current.

We configure and manage the settings that connect your domain name to your website and email. If you ever switch providers or add a new service, we take care of the update.

Domain registration is billed separately since costs vary widely depending on the name and extension, but most common domains run $15-25/year.

If you need a new address added, want to troubleshoot a deliverability issue, or need DNS changes when moving or expanding your email setup, we take care of it.

Your email hosting account (Google Workspace, Zoho, or similar) is your own subscription — we just support it on the technical side.

Your site and its content are backed up on a regular basis. If something ever goes wrong, we can restore things quickly without you losing any data or work.

We actively monitor your site for security issues and keep everything up to date to protect against threats. If a problem is ever flagged, we handle it before it affects your visitors.

We monitor your site around the clock so we know right away if it ever goes down. If there is an issue, we are on it before most visitors even notice. We also periodically check for broken links and missing pages so small issues get caught before they become a problem for your visitors.

We apply updates to your site's platform, plugins, and the underlying software it relies on, on a regular schedule, then test to make sure nothing breaks before it goes live. We also review your Core Web Vitals monthly — Google's speed and stability metrics (how fast your page loads, how stable it is while loading, and how responsive it feels) — and address any regressions that updates may have introduced.

Before any significant changes go live, they're tested on a private copy of your site first. This prevents surprises and keeps your live site stable for visitors.

A simple summary of your site's traffic each month: total visits, top pages, where visitors came from, and trends over time. Delivered to your inbox.

We keep an eye on the tools and services connected to your site so any issues are caught and fixed before your visitors ever notice.

Frequently asked questions

Managed Website Care is built for small businesses, contractors, non-profits, and anyone who needs a professional web presence without the headache of managing it themselves. If you would rather focus on running your business than worrying about plugin updates and server errors, this is for you.

You don't need to know anything about websites. That's our job.

What is included with a managed small business website?

Each plan includes the website build plus managed hosting, security, backups, updates, and ongoing care. The number of pages and advanced features depend on the plan you choose.

Is the free website build available on every plan?

No. The limited-time free website build is available with the Solo plan and requires a two-year minimum commitment.

Can I move to a larger plan as my business grows?

Yes. Solo is designed for a focused single-page site. Core and Pro add capacity for more pages and features as your needs change.

How long does it take to launch a website?

The timeline depends on the plan, content readiness, and feedback cycles. Once we have the material needed to build, we work with you to set a practical launch plan.

Will I be able to make changes after the site launches?

Yes. Your ongoing care plan includes support for keeping the site current. Larger additions or new functionality can be scoped separately as your business changes.
