A brand-new site or a full redesign.
That is the $1,997 build: a complete custom website designed, written, and launched in about 7 days. The full scope is on the pricing page.

You message me, I handle it: for $197 CAD a month I host, update, back up, and monitor your website, and I make your changes whenever you need something changed. Month to month, cancel anytime, run from Courtenay, BC.

01 — What it is
A website care plan is a flat monthly service that keeps a website healthy and current: hosting, software updates, backups, uptime monitoring, and the small content changes a business needs week to week. Mine costs $197 CAD a month, covers unlimited small changes on request, and can be cancelled anytime.
02 — Includes
What the plan includes.
Five commitments, the same list for every site I look after.
- Hosting, updates & backups handled
- Unlimited small changes on request
- Uptime monitoring
- Priority support: message me, I handle it
- Cancel anytime
Hosting, software updates, and backups run quietly in the background. Unlimited small changes is the part that replaces hourly billing: text updates, new photos, a new page when you launch an offer. Uptime monitoring watches the site around the clock, and priority support means you message me and I handle it, usually within a day or two.
03 — Exclusions
What it does not cover.
The plan covers the running of an existing site. Three kinds of work sit outside it, each with its own published price.
A one-time rescue of a neglected site.
That is the $497 website tune-up: speed, search, and first impressions fixed in one pass, with a before and after report. Care usually starts right after it.
Ad campaigns.
Meta ads management is available separately, especially for care-plan clients, once the website itself converts. It is not inside the $197.
Those three are the only exclusions.
04 — Naming
Call it a package, a plan, or management.
Some studios sell this work as website maintenance packages, some as maintenance plans, some as website management for small businesses. Underneath the label it is the same job: hosting, updates, backups, monitoring, and the changes you ask for. I sell it as one flat published number, $197 CAD a month.
05 — Where it fits
Care after a tune-up, or care from launch.
If I build your site, care is the fourth step of my process. After the free audit, the build, and the launch, most clients stay on the care plan, so the site stays fast, secure, and current instead of slowly going stale.
If your site already exists, I usually recommend starting with the $497 tune-up, so care begins from a healthy baseline rather than preserving old problems.
The plan keeps a site healthy; it does not market one. When you want the site to bring in more business, the growth plans add content, Google Business Profile management, and a monthly visibility report on top of care.
StaySitSnuggle.com is a site I built for a Vancouver Island pet sitter and maintain today. It is in the portfolio if you want to see what a cared-for site looks like.

06 — FAQ
Care plan questions.
What is a website care plan?
A website care plan is a flat monthly arrangement where one person is responsible for your site: hosting, updates, backups, monitoring, and the small changes you ask for. It replaces hourly billing and surprise invoices. Mine is $197 CAD a month, includes unlimited small changes on request, and you can cancel anytime.
How much does it cost to maintain a website for a small business?
On my plan, $197 CAD a month, flat. That covers hosting, updates, backups, uptime monitoring, and unlimited small changes. Many providers bill maintenance hourly or per task, which makes the yearly cost unpredictable; a flat plan makes it a line item you can budget.
What counts as a small change?
Text updates, swapped photos, a new page for an offer or a season, menu and hours changes, that kind of thing. You message me and it is usually done within a day or two. Larger work, like a redesign or a whole new site, is quoted as what it really is: a $497 tune-up or a $1,997 build.
Can I cancel the care plan?
Yes, anytime, and the website stays yours. The domain is registered in your name and the code belongs to you, so nothing is held hostage when you leave. That no-lock-in rule applies to every site I build and every site I take over.
