What a website care plan includes (and why your site needs one)

A website isn't a one-time project. Like your vehicle or your building, it needs regular care to keep running well. That's what a care plan is for.

What a care plan covers

  • Hosting and security. Your site stays online, protected and on a secure connection.
  • Backups. If something goes wrong, your site can be restored quickly.
  • Updates and edits. New photos, changed hours, a new service or a holiday notice, handled for you.
  • Form and booking checks. I make sure your contact forms and booking links actually work, so leads don't disappear.
  • Speed and performance checks. I test your site with Google's tools and fix what's slowing it down.

Why it matters

The most common problem I find isn't a bad design. It's a website that slowly drifted out of date: an old phone number, a broken form, last year's prices. Every one of those costs you calls, and most owners never notice.

What it costs

My care plans start at $49 a month, with options at $89 and $199 a month depending on how many updates you need. Without a plan, website work is billed at $95 an hour.

Do you need one?

If you'd rather spend your time running your business than logging into your website, a care plan is usually worth it. If you like making your own changes, my Essential websites are built so you can edit them yourself.

Not sure which fits you? Let's talk it through.
