If you already have a site

I would rather explain this than take the money

Most people who land on a page like this already have a website and want someone to keep it alive. The usual answer is a maintenance retainer: a few hundred a month to apply updates and hope nothing breaks. I do not sell that, and here is the honest reason.

Taking over someone else's WordPress build means inheriting their theme, their plugins and whatever was done to it before I arrived. I can apply updates to it. What I cannot do is promise it will stay fast, stay secure or stay online, because most of what determines that was decided before I got there.

So the offer is different. The $99 plan rebuilds the site hand-coded, then hosts, secures and maintains it, with unlimited content updates on top. For most businesses that is less than a maintenance-only retainer on the site they already have, and at the end of it the site is genuinely looked after rather than merely patched.

If your current site is fine and you only want a pair of hands on it occasionally, say so on the call. I will tell you straight if you are better off staying where you are.

The deliverables

Six things that are handled, every month

Web hosting

Your site runs on a CDN-backed host with 99.9% uptime. No shared server with a thousand other sites, no speed throttling, and no surprise bandwidth charges.

Content updates

Unlimited. New staff photo, changed hours, a price that moved, a service you added. You send it, it goes live the same day. No ticket queue.

Security monitoring

SSL stays current, the site stays behind a firewall, and there are no plugins or database to patch. Hand-coded HTML has almost nothing to exploit.

Regular backups

The site is backed up automatically. If anything goes wrong, it can be restored in minutes rather than rebuilt from scratch.

Monthly reporting

A report showing what the site is doing: traffic, rankings, and what changed. Plain language, not a dashboard full of numbers you have to interpret yourself.

Priority support

You call or email me directly. No support tiers, no chatbot, no ticket that sits for three days. If the site is down, it gets fixed immediately.

100% hack-free site guarantee. Because there is no WordPress, no plugins and no database behind your site, the attack surface is effectively zero. If your site is ever compromised while on this plan, I will fix it at no cost and no questions asked. That guarantee has never been tested, because there has never been anything to hack.

Questions

What people ask about upkeep

How much is your maintenance plan?

There is not one, and that is deliberate. Hosting, SSL, the domain, security, backups and unlimited content updates are all inside the $99 a month website plan. You will never get a separate maintenance invoice from me, because there is nothing left to bill for.

I already have a website. Can you just maintain it?

Usually not, and I would rather explain why than take the money. Maintaining someone else's WordPress build means inheriting their theme, their plugins and whatever was done to it before I arrived, and I cannot promise it will stay fast or stay up. The $99 plan rebuilds the site hand-coded and then maintains it, which in most cases costs less than a maintenance-only retainer on the old one.

What does maintained actually mean?

The site stays online, stays current, stays secure, and stays accurate. Hosting and SSL are handled, security and backups are handled, and any content that changes gets changed. No dashboard for you to keep on top of.

How many content updates do I get?

Unlimited. New staff photo, changed hours, a price that moved, a service you no longer offer. You email or call, and it is usually done the same day.

What if my site goes down?

You call me and I fix it. There is no ticket queue and no support tier. Hand-coded sites have far less to go wrong in the first place: no theme to conflict with a plugin and no database to be compromised.

Is there a contract?

The website has a 12 month term and the site becomes yours to keep once it is complete. Cancel any service with 30 days written notice. Your domain is yours from day one and stays in your name.

One number, and it covers the upkeep
