The website itself is a one-off project. Looking after it afterwards is optional.
If you would rather not be the person who worries about updates, backups and small changes, we can host the site and provide a simple care arrangement for £25–£35 a month. You can also host elsewhere and still come to us for work when you need it.
What optional care is for
A typical care arrangement covers:
- Website hosting and an SSL certificate
- Software updates and security patches for the site we built
- Regular backups
- A modest allowance of small text and image changes each month (we will set the allowance out in writing)
- A named point of contact when something breaks
It does not, unless we agree it separately, include new pages, a redesign, photography, advertising, or a full SEO campaign.
How this sits with our packages
- Refresh (£799 ex VAT) — hosting is optional at £25 a month, or we can help you host elsewhere.
- Business (£1,495 ex VAT) and Commerce / Growth (from £2,495 ex VAT) — 12 months of hosting is included. After that year, care is £25–£35 a month if you want us to continue, or we will help you take the site with you.
Domain registration and renewal are listed in your quote. Where possible, the domain should be registered in your name.
If you already have hosting
That is fine. We can build or revamp the site and deploy it to a suitable host you already pay for, provided it can run the site securely. We will tell you if the current hosting is not up to the job.
