A website isn't finished on launch day. It needs a quick, secure home and someone who answers when a price or a photo has to change. That's site care, at $49, $99 or $149 a month.
What site care covers
- Fast hosting served from a content delivery network, so pages open quickly.
- An SSL certificate for the padlock in the address bar, renewed for you.
- Uptime monitoring, so we hear about a problem before your customers do.
- Small content edits: hours, prices, photos and staff changes.
- Form checks now and then, so inquiries keep arriving.
- A person to call who knows your site, because he built it.
Why hand-coded sites are easy to look after
Our sites are plain, hand-written files. There's no admin panel for strangers to guess at, no database to corrupt, and no pile of add-ons from different vendors waiting to clash. Less machinery means fewer things that can break, which is a big part of why site care stays affordable.
Speed still matters in a fiber town
In 2015 the city's own fiber system, Fibrant (later Hotwire), became capable of 10-gigabit speeds across town. Quick connections help, but a bloated site still crawls on a phone with two bars in a parking lot off Innes Street. A lean site loads fast either way.
Sites we didn't build
Site care is designed around the sites we build. If yours was made somewhere else, Roger can look it over and tell you whether to keep it or replace it through our website design service. Plan prices sit alongside the builds on season pricing, and more about who looks after your site is on about the company.
Site care questions
What counts as a small edit?
Everyday changes: hours, prices, photos, staff names, a holiday notice. A brand-new page is priced first, at $497.
Can I take my site elsewhere?
Yes. Your business owns the site, so it can move whenever you like.
Which plan do I need?
It depends on how big the site is and how often it changes. Roger will recommend a level when he quotes your build.
