Website care and hosting for £199 a month

What the £199 covers

• Hosting. Fast, secure hosting with HTTPS, set up and paid for by us.
• Updates. Software, plugins and dependencies kept current, tested before they go live so an update never takes your site down.
• Backups. Regular backups of the site and its content, so a mistake or a problem can be rolled back.
• Uptime monitoring. If the site goes down, we find out first and start fixing it, usually before you notice.
• Two hours of changes a month. New pages, text edits, swapping images, adding a team member, updating prices. Send us an email and it's done.

Why it's worth having

Websites don't stay finished. Software goes out of date, forms stop sending because an email setting changed, an image someone uploads is fifteen megabytes and slows every page. None of it is dramatic, and all of it costs you enquiries while nobody's looking.

The care plan means someone who knows how your site was built is checking on it every month. When you need a change, you email a person rather than raising a ticket, and it's done in days, not weeks.

What it doesn't cover

Two hours a month is enough for routine changes. Bigger work, like a new section of the site, a redesign of a page template or a new integration, is quoted separately or booked at our £600 day rate. We'll always tell you before anything goes beyond the included time.

Is it compulsory?

No. Every website, shop and web app we build includes thirty days of fixes after launch. After that, the care plan is optional. If you'd rather host and maintain the site yourself, we'll hand everything over and walk you through it. There's no retainer you can't cancel.
