The plans

Once a site is live it needs somewhere to live and someone to keep it current. Three plans cover that, and all three are month to month.

Hosting & care, $97 a month

Hosting, daily backups, the updates the site needs, and small edits: replace an image, update text, remove or duplicate a section. Up to two hours of work a month. Not new pages; those are quoted separately. Cancel with 30 days' notice.

Hosting only, $47 a month

Hosting, daily backups and updates. No edits. The right plan for a site that says what it needs to say and does not change.

Store care, $147 a month

For e-commerce sites: hosting, backups, checkout and catalog checks, and a few edits a month. Required while checkout is live, because a store that takes orders needs the checkout watched.

What a small edit is

The kind of change a business makes a few times a year: new hours, a price, a photo of the new truck, a service you stopped offering taken off the page, a section copied for a new one like it. Email the change and we make it. If the change is bigger than that, we tell you before doing it.

Speed and security

Why a static site needs less care

The sites we host are static: the pages are built ahead of time and served from Cloudflare's network. There is no database, no WordPress core, no plugins and no admin login on the public site. That is why the care plan is small. There is nothing to patch every month, no plugin conflicts to untangle after an update and far less for an attacker to break into, because the public site has no login to attack. The updates we do make are to the build itself, and every build is checked for speed, accessibility and broken links before it goes live. Pages are built to load fast on a phone and to WCAG 2.1 AA, checked on every build.

Static and WordPress, side by side

A fair comparison, because WordPress is the right tool for some sites and the wrong one for most small business sites that change a few times a year.

	Static site (ours)	WordPress site
Monthly updates	Nothing to patch	Core, theme and plugin updates
Plugins	None	Usually several, each one a thing to update
Database	None	Yes, and it needs backing up and securing
Admin login on the public site	None	Yes
Editing it yourself	No; send small edits under the care plan	Yes, through the admin screen
Backups	Daily, on every plan	Depends on the host or a plugin

Where WordPress is the better tool: a site where you or your staff edit pages yourself every day, publish often, or run a membership. If that is your business, say so on the call and we tell you honestly. For a site that says what you do, where you are and how to reach you, a static site is less to maintain and less to go wrong.

If you leave

You own the site and the domain, so leaving is a move, not a negotiation. Give 30 days' notice. You get a zipped copy of the site, which is the whole site, since it is static pages, and 30 days to move it before the next bill. Another designer can move it for you, or we move it for a one-time $147 fee once the new hosting is set up.

There is no long-term contract on any plan. The site was paid for once, when it was built; the monthly plan pays for hosting and the care around it, and it stops when you say so.

Leaving, in four lines

Common questions

What counts as a small edit?

Replacing an image, updating text, or removing or duplicating a section, up to two hours of work a month on the $97 plan. New pages, a new section design or a redesign are quoted separately.

What happens if I cancel?

Give 30 days' notice. You get a zipped copy of the site and 30 days to move it before the next bill. Another designer can move it, or we do for a one-time $147 fee once your new hosting is set up.

Why static?

No database, no WordPress core, no plugins and no admin login on the public site. That means nothing to patch each month, no plugin conflicts and far less to break into, and pages that load fast on a phone. Every build is checked for speed, accessibility and broken links.

Do I need a plan?

Store care, at $147 a month, is required while a store's checkout is live. For other sites, the hosting-only plan at $47 covers hosting, daily backups and updates with no edits, and Hosting & care at $97 adds small edits. Since you own the site and the domain, you can also host it elsewhere.
