Website Management Plan Prices

Protect your investment. Once your website goes live, it's important to protect it from potential hacks, breaches, and other threats that can bring your site down and have it blacklisted from search engines, removing it from all search results and destroying its rankings.

Your website is like a new car; it looks and runs very well right now, but over time, it can deteriorate if it's not properly maintained. A monthly plan can relieve your stress while you focus on your business.

When you're on this plan, you can contact me at any reasonable time for help with updates, edits, additions, or any potential website issues. If you are skeptical or on a tight budget, you can buy a plan at any time in the future. However, a one-time maintenance service may cost a lot more, depending on the problem(s).

Website Accessibility Prices

This is about ADA and WCAG website accessibility compliance for blind, visually impaired, and deaf people.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. WCAG covers websites, applications, and other digital content.

There are 3 levels of compliance:

  3. Level AAA includes all Level A, AA, and AAA requirements. It's usually for large businesses, the government, educational institutions, and more.

Legal Protection Prices

The following items are very important to help protect your business from privacy-related fines and lawsuits, such as GDPR and CCPA non-compliance. You must buy this with the purchase of a new website from me or sign a waiver.

Depending on your website's features and business services, you may not need all of these policies, but you can't choose only one policy to decrease your price. One license from Termageddon includes all policies to protect one website. All their policies are automatically updated when the laws are updated, so you do not have to do anything except pay Termageddon.

States are proposing laws that will allow consumers to sue businesses anywhere in the United States for not having a compliant privacy policy. Any website that collects as little as an email address on a contact form should not only have a privacy policy but also have a way to keep it up to date when the laws change.

If you do not have these for your current website, it's not too late to add them. Do not risk any legal trouble for yourself in the future.

Price: $10 monthly (or $99 yearly)
Please note: Starting July 1, 2023, licenses will be $12 monthly and $119 yearly. Please check Termageddon's website for accurate pricing.

Recommended Website Hosting Providers

I recommend avoiding hosting providers with slow server speed, poor performance, poor reliability, poor security, and poor customer support. The shortlist includes Bluehost, HostGator, and GoDaddy. Read the long list.

I use SiteGround for many reasons. Their servers are fast, secure, and reliable. I've been with them for more than 3 years, so I'm very familiar with their system and tools. Because of that, my website maintenance skills are honed and I work quickly.

SiteGround logo
  • Best customer support, server uptime, security, and webpage load speed
  • Generous 30-day (no questions asked) money-back guarantee
  • Free daily backups and restorations on all plans
  • Free WordPress security plugin that works on all WordPress websites, not only SiteGround-hosted

If you want to host your site with them, you can save money on their hosting plans by using this special discount.

SG Site Scanner (one of their many great tools)

The SG Site Scanner is a malware detection and early warning system that enables you to perform on-demand scans of your website and performs comprehensive daily scans to detect domain blacklisting and malware. The malware database is constantly updated, enabling the SG Site Scanner to detect even the latest threats.

Price: $18 yearly

More great SiteGround WordPress tools: SG Optimizer plugin, SG Security plugin

Other Good WordPress Website Hosting Providers:

Note: SiteGround and these hosts below are great for WordPress websites. I do not know much about their ability to handle other types of websites. You will have to search online or consult me to help you search.
