Managed Websites

We build your website. Then we run it.

Design, build, hosting and every change after launch, under one monthly fee. The build is included. The people who make your site are the people who answer in year three.

Our position

Most websites are sold as a project. That is the problem.

A project has an end date. The site launches, the team moves on, and the asset that was supposed to earn for five years gets attention for three months of them. Everything after that is priced as an exception. A change order. A support ticket. A rebuild in year three, once the neglect becomes visible to customers.

We do not sell projects. We sell a standing engagement. The build is included in the monthly fee because the build is not the point. The point is the sixty months after it.

How we work

How we deliver

Five things that are true of every engagement.

01

One team, first draft to fifth year

The people who design and build your site are the people who answer when you write in year three. There is no handoff to an account manager and no queue between you and the person doing the work.

Scope

What the fee covers

One fee, for the build and for the life of the site.

01

Design and copy, written for your business

Structure, layout and words produced for you. No purchased template and no filler text left in place at launch.

02

Custom-coded pages

Written as modern code. Pages load fast, there is no plugin surface to exploit, and nothing depends on a third party continuing to maintain it.

03

Hosting, SSL, backups, monitoring

Included and ours to run. Daily backups, continuous uptime monitoring, and someone on the other end of the alert. When something fails it alerts us, and the first you usually hear of it is the note saying it is fixed.

04

Dedicated hours, every month

Text, images, prices, new pages, new sections. Real work hours reserved for you each month, on whatever the site needs.

05

Search visibility built in from day one

Clean structure, fast pages, correct titles and descriptions, and indexing configured properly at launch rather than retrofitted later.

06

Room to grow, priced before it starts

A new section, a feature, a campaign page. Scoped and quoted in advance at published rates.

The first three weeks

The build runs on a fixed cadence

Here is what happens, and what we need from you.

Week 101

Intake and structure

A working session on what the site is for, who it speaks to, and what it needs to do. We collect existing content, brand assets and access. You spend roughly [90 minutes] on this and very little after it.

You get · a structure and a content plan
Week 202

Pages in a browser

You see real pages, not a presentation. Your content, your layout, on desktop and on a phone. This is the round where changes are cheapest, so we ask for direct feedback rather than approval.

You get · a working site to react to
Week 303

Launch

The full site goes live on your domain. Redirects from the old site, indexing, analytics and search console configured. Nothing about the handover requires you to do anything technical.

You get · a live site, indexed
After launch04

The engagement

The relationship continues on the same terms. Your monthly hours begin the month after launch, and the same people stay on the account.

You get · everything, in your name

Whether this fits

A good fit

This works well when

The site matters to how you win business but nobody internally owns it
You want changes made in days without negotiating each one
You would rather have a standing relationship than a vendor you re-hire every few years
You have a real business and a real budget, and the constraint is attention rather than money
A poor fit

This is the wrong purchase when

You need a large web application rather than a website
You want a one-time build and no ongoing relationship, in which case a fixed-fee project is genuinely the better purchase
You need a team on site or in your time zone at all hours
You are looking for the cheapest option available, which we are not, and which is usually a template

Prices in USD. No setup fee. Work beyond the monthly hours is scoped and quoted at published rates before it begins.

Why the price is what it is

Agencies charging five figures for a build are not charging for the work. They are charging for a sales team, an account layer, a project manager, and the cost of winning the account in the first place. We do not carry those.

The engagement is also priced to last. A client who stays five years is worth more to us than a build fee, so there is no reason to extract everything in month one. The rate is low because the model is different, not because the work is thinner.

Ownership and exit

The site is yours. The code, the content, the domain and the accounts are in your name from the day they exist. Not at the end of a term, not after a payoff, not conditional on anything.

The twelve-month minimum exists because the build is front-loaded. We do the whole thing in the first three weeks and spread the cost across the year rather than charging for it up front. After that the engagement runs month to month, there is no exit fee, and if you leave we hand over everything and help you move hosting. The full terms are in the questions below.

The things worth asking before signing anything. If your question is not here, one of us will answer it directly.

Still have questions?
01Who owns the site?

You do, entirely. The code, the content, the domain and the accounts are yours from the day they exist. Not at the end of a term, not after a payoff, not conditional on anything. If you leave, you leave with the site.
