Hosting and care, $97 a month

A website is not finished at launch. Hours change, a staff member leaves, a new service starts, a photo needs swapping for a better one. Hosting and care is the plan for owners who want those changes handled without learning a content editor.

For $97 a month you get hosting, daily backups, the updates the site needs to keep running, and small edits: replace an image, update a paragraph, remove a section or duplicate one for a new item. Send the change by email and it gets done. The plan covers up to two hours of work a month.

What it does not cover is new pages. Adding a page is a small project of its own, priced when you ask for it. The plan is for keeping the site you have accurate and running, and it runs month to month: cancel with 30 days' notice and nothing more is owed.

Editor add-on, $27 a month

On top of hosting and care, the editor lets you make your own changes whenever you want: rewrite a paragraph, swap a photo, update your hours or phone number. You preview the change before it goes live, and every change is checked first, so a typo in the wrong place cannot break the page. The layout, colors and pages stay locked. The editor is not offered on hosting only, and it comes included with store care.

The plans

  • Hosting only: $47 a month
  • Hosting and care: $97 a month
  • Editor add-on: +$27 a month (with hosting and care)
  • Store care: $167 a month, editor included

Hosting only, $47 a month

If your site rarely changes, or you would rather send us a batch of edits once a year as a small job, hosting only is the plan. It covers hosting, daily backups and the updates the site needs. It does not include edits. Like every plan, it runs month to month with 30 days' notice to cancel.

Store care, $167 a month

An e-commerce site needs more than hosting, because checkout has to keep working and the catalog has to stay right. Store care covers hosting, backups, checkout and catalog checks, and a few edits a month such as a price change or a product marked sold out. It is required while checkout is live.

Which plan fits

If you will want text or photos changed more than once or twice a year, hosting and care at $97 saves the back-and-forth. If the site is set and you want it kept running, hosting only at $47 is enough. If the site sells, store care is the plan.

Leaving is simple

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

Common questions

Which plan do I need?

Hosting only at $47 a month if the site rarely changes. Hosting and care at $97 a month if you want text and image edits handled, up to two hours of work a month. Store care at $167 a month for an e-commerce site; it is required while checkout is live. Each runs month to month.

What counts as a small edit?

Replacing an image, updating text, removing a section or duplicating one for a new item. Anything that changes a page you already have. A new page is not a small edit and is priced separately.

Can I move my site?

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

Is there a contract?

No long-term contract. Every plan is month to month, and any of them can be cancelled with 30 days' notice.

Can I edit the site myself?

Yes, if you want to. The editor add-on is $27 a month on top of hosting and care. It gives you a simple editor on your phone or computer: change your text, swap photos, update your hours and phone number, then preview and publish. The layout, colors and pages stay locked, and every change is checked before it goes live, so you cannot break the site. If you would rather not touch it, hosting and care already covers small edits and we make them for you. If you ever leave, you take the site with you; the editor stays with us.
