Care: $199/mo

Who it’s for

• You had us build your site and you’d like it to keep working without you thinking about it.
• You don’t have a “website person” on staff, and you don’t want to become one.
• Your site is in good shape. You mostly need it watched and small things changed.

Care is for sites we build. If someone else built your site, tell us what you need and we’ll put together a custom quote.

What’s included, in plain words

• We watch it around the clock. If your site goes down, we get the alert, not your customers.
• We test your forms every week. We send a test lead through, so a broken form doesn’t quietly cost you jobs.
• We keep the lights on. Hosting, the padlock (SSL), updates and monthly backups that we actually test.
• We watch your domain. Renewal dates and settings, so your site and email don’t vanish over a missed bill.
• Small changes handled for you. New photos, updated hours, price changes. Text or email us the change and it’s usually done within 2 business days.
• Basic tracking and a monthly report. What we checked, what we fixed, and how many people visited. Same link every month.
• You own everything. Your domain and site are in your name. If you leave, it all goes with you.

Fair use: If a month’s requests go beyond what your plan covers, we’ll tell you first and quote the extra, so there are no surprise bills.

What counts as a small change

These are typical examples. Most are quick, so a normal month’s changes are covered.

• Holiday hours: “Closed Thanksgiving and the Friday after” on the home page and contact page.
• Staff photo swap: someone new joins, and their photo and short bio go up. Someone leaves, and theirs comes down.
• Add a service: a new line on your services list with a short description. A full new service page counts as an update (Care Plus), not a small change.
• Fix a typo: the wrong phone number in the footer, or a misspelled street name.
• New form: a simple form like “Request a callback” or “Join the waitlist” that goes to the right inbox.
• Also: a price change, a new review on the testimonials section, an updated menu or flyer PDF, or a new announcement banner.

The real value is that you send a text and get on with your day. You don’t have to find the login, remember how the editor works, or wait on a developer who’s moved on to other clients.

What it would take to do this yourself or hire it out

• Doing it yourself: you’d set up uptime alerts, check your forms by hand, track your domain renewal, run updates and backups, and test a restore now and then. None of it is hard. It’s easy to forget, and you only find out you forgot when something breaks.
• Hiring it out piece by piece: hosting, monitoring and backups are often sold separately, and a freelancer for small changes usually means a minimum charge, a wait, and explaining your site again each time.
• Not doing it: a broken form or an expired domain doesn’t announce itself. It just goes quiet, and you lose leads you never knew about.

Why Care instead of Wix or Squarespace

Wix is $25 a month plus your evenings. Care is $199 and none of your evenings.

Is Wix (or doing it yourself) the better fit for you? Sometimes, honestly. If you’re just starting out, you enjoy building it yourself, or your site rarely changes, it may be. Three honest ways to get your site online →
