Maintenance plans
that keep you growing

Every website we build comes with maintenance included. Here's exactly what each plan covers — and how to know which one is right for your business.

Common Questions

Maintenance FAQ

Is maintenance really included with every build? +
Yes. Every website build includes hosting, security monitoring, SSL, automated backups, and uptime monitoring as standard. You're never left with a live site and no one responsible for keeping it up.
What counts as a "content edit"? +
Any change to existing text, swapping or adding images, updating hours or contact info, adding a new team member, or minor layout adjustments. If you're asking for a new page or a significant design change, that's a scope conversation — but most day-to-day updates are covered.
How long does it take to get a content edit done? +
Typically within 48 hours of your request, often same day for simple changes. You submit the request, I handle it — no back-and-forth with a ticketing system.
How quickly will I see SEO results on the Growth System? +
SEO is a compounding effort, not an overnight switch. Most clients start seeing measurable ranking movement within 60–90 days. Significant organic traffic growth typically builds over 3–6 months. The businesses that commit to it consistently are the ones that dominate their local market.
Can I upgrade my plan later? +
Absolutely. Many clients start on Starter or Core and move to Growth or Authority once they're ready to invest in active search growth. Upgrades take effect the following billing cycle.
What happens to my site if I cancel? +
You own your domain at all times — that's always yours. For one-time build clients, you own the code and can move it to another host if you choose to cancel. For Website as a Service clients, we own and host the site on your behalf; canceling the subscription (after the 12-month minimum) means the site comes down, but your domain remains yours to use however you like.
