Website Management and Email Maintenance Options and Prices

This list was last updated on May 29, 2023, and prices are in United States dollars (USD).

I highly recommend buying a website management plan, whether it's from me or somebody else. I like to compare it to car insurance. If you do not have it before you need it, you will regret it. If your website is hacked or plugins and themes malfunction because they were not updated, your online business will be affected.

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).

Included in all plans:

• Allotted time (usually 1–4 hours) of monthly support
• Priority support (precedence over one-time maintenance customers)
• Discounts on future work
• Quarterly or yearly reviews
