After launch

Care + Hosting

Every site I build needs hosting to stay online, and that costs about $20 a month if you set it up and run it yourself. That figure is the bare bill, before anyone keeps the software current or watches for problems. Setting a site up and keeping it working also takes hours of real work every month. Care + Hosting covers all of it, the bill and the work: updates, monitoring, and a monthly allowance of changes. Each plan below sets its own allowance.

Every build comes with a plan. It runs month to month, and you can cancel with 30 days notice.

How it works

Five steps, start to launch

  1. Intro call

    15 minutes on the phone: what you do, where your jobs come from, and what's not working. You decide whether it's worth a longer conversation.

  2. Consultation

    About an hour, and closer to an interview: I ask about your services, your customers, and what you want the site to do.

  3. Proposal

    You get a fixed price and a written list of what's included within three days. Once you sign and pay half up front, the build starts.

  4. Build and review

    You see a preview link in week one and get two rounds of revisions to shape it. I bill further rounds hourly.

  5. Launch

    You approve the final walkthrough and pay the second half before the site goes live. We launch it together, your 30 days of free small edits start, and the monthly Care + Hosting plan takes over from there.

Questions

The questions I get asked most

When a business like yours weighs a website redesign, these are the questions that come up most. For anything else, contact me and ask.

Read every answer

Why is there a monthly cost at all?

The site runs on paid infrastructure. Commercial hosting costs $20 a month on its own, and free tiers are not licensed for business use. On top of that, security patches ship, software goes stale, and contact forms stop delivering without warning. Care + Hosting covers the infrastructure and the work.

Do I own my site?

Yes. You register the domain in your business name on your own card, so it was never mine to hold. The code is yours once the build is paid, and the contract sets out how the rest transfers if you leave.

What if I want to leave?

Cancel with 30 days notice. Your domain stays put, because it was in your name the whole time. I move the site, the email sending, and your customer records into accounts you own, then hand you written documentation of every account and setting. A one-time transition fee covers that work, quoted before it starts.

What happens after launch?

You get 30 days of unlimited small edits, 45 on the Platform plan. Care + Hosting starts the day that window closes, and that date becomes your billing date.

How long does a build take?

That depends on the size of the build and how fast photos and content arrive, so the written proposal sets the schedule for your project. A preview link goes up in the first week of the build.

Can I just get the site and handle hosting myself?

Not on a new build. I deliver maintained sites, and I will not hand over one I cannot keep working. That ends with you calling me about a broken form I have no access to fix.

What if I prepay for a year and then cancel?

I refund what you paid, minus the standard monthly rate for every month of service you got, including your 30-day notice period. Partial months count as full months, and the refund never drops below zero. You end up paying no more than you would have month to month.

Not sure which one fits?

Most people calling me are not sure which one fits. Tell me about your business on the call, and I will tell you which one you need, including when the answer is none of them.
