Hosting, security, and ten content updates a month. For sites we built and sites we didn't.
Website maintenance, $50 a month
KJ Design & Consulting · Orange County, California
Why it matters
A website goes stale fast. Old hours send people to a locked door, an expired certificate scares them off, and a dead link costs you the order. The plan exists so none of that sits on your to-do list.
The plan
$50 a month, everything handled.
When your hours, menu, or prices change, you send a request from your portal and we update the site. The $250 Partner plan removes the request limit.
What's covered
- Ten edit requests a month: hours, menu items, prices, photos, pages
- Hosting and SSL certificates
- Security updates and monitoring
- Small fixes: broken links, layout problems, outdated pages
- A client portal where you send requests and see them resolved
Existing sites
We take over sites other people built.
Plenty of local businesses have a site and nobody left who touches it. The developer moved on, the login is lost, the footer says 2021. That is a normal starting point for us.
How the takeover goes
- You give us access to your domain and hosting
- We review how the site is built and tell you what shape it is in
- If the site is worth keeping, the plan starts and we take it from there
- If it is not, we say so, and a rebuild is $1,000
Questions
- What does website maintenance cost?
- $50 a month. That covers hosting, security, monitoring, and ten edit requests a month. A $250 Partner plan removes the request limit for businesses that change their site constantly.
- Can you maintain a website you didn't build?
- Yes. We start by reviewing how your site is hosted and built. Most sites can move onto the plan as they are. When a site is in bad enough shape that maintaining it would be wasted money, we tell you up front and quote a $1,000 rebuild instead.
- What counts as an edit request?
- One change you would describe in one message: new hours, a menu update, a price change, swapping photos, adding a page of content you provide. You send it from your client portal and we confirm when it is live.
- Is hosting included?
- Yes. Hosting, the SSL certificate, and monitoring are part of the $50, so there is no separate hosting bill.
- Am I locked into a contract?
- No. The plan bills monthly and you can stop whenever you want. Your domain is registered to you and stays yours.
