Managed website hosting & care

An affordable monthly retainer that keeps a site we built running at full strength — real-time fixes, security patches, and a senior engineer on the line.

A website is not a thing you finish; it is a thing you run. Content changes, dependencies age, browsers move, security advisories land, and the small breakages accumulate until the site that felt sharp at launch feels tired a year later. Most businesses do not have a senior engineer on staff to stay ahead of all that — and the maintenance pools that agencies hand you off to are not the people who wrote the code.

Managed website care is the opposite arrangement: the same senior engineers who built your site keep it running at full strength, for an affordable monthly fee, with a real person on the line when something has to move now.

Care, not a ticket queue

When you write us, you reach the practice — not a first-tier support desk reading from a script. Bugs are fixed and content is updated in real time, the moment they are needed. Security patches are applied before they matter, not after an advisory becomes an incident. Framework and runtime upgrades are handled continuously so the site never rots into a version nobody dares to touch.

The retainer also covers the quiet, unglamorous work that keeps a site healthy: broken-link sweeps, uptime monitoring, performance checks, and the occasional small feature that would be awkward to scope as its own project.

A senior on the line at two in the morning

The promise that actually matters when something breaks is who picks up. Under care, that is a senior engineer who knows your codebase because they wrote it — not a stranger discovering your stack for the first time during an outage. When something has to move now, it moves.

That is only possible because we care for sites we built and can stand behind end to end. It is why the retainer is scoped to our own builds by default.

What it costs, and what it doesn't lock you into

Care starts at $349/month and you can cancel anytime — there is no long contract holding you in, because the point is to earn the relationship every month, not to trap you in it. The deliverable is always yours; care is a service you choose, not a hostage arrangement.

If your needs grow — a bigger feature, a redesign, a new app surface — we scope that separately and transparently, and the care retainer simply keeps the lights on around it.

Already have a site we didn't build?

We can only stand behind code we have read, so care is designed for sites the practice built. For a site built elsewhere, we start with an audit — often the external exposure report — so we understand what is under the hood. From there we can bring it onto care, rebuild the parts that need it, or hand you an honest read and a plan. We will tell you plainly which path fits.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does managed website care cost?
From $349/month, cancel anytime. The exact tier depends on the size and complexity of the site and what you want covered; it is agreed up front with no long contract.
What does the retainer include?
Real-time bug fixes and content updates, security patches, framework and runtime upgrades, broken-link sweeps, uptime monitoring, performance checks, and a senior engineer reachable when something urgent has to move — plus small features that don't warrant a separate project.
Can you maintain a website you didn't build?
Care is designed for sites we built, because we can only stand behind code we've read end to end. For a site built elsewhere we start with an audit, then bring it onto care or rebuild the parts that need it. We're honest about that boundary up front.
Is hosting included?
We deploy and manage your site on infrastructure that scales without surprises, and the retainer covers keeping it healthy there. We'll walk you through exactly what's included for your setup when we scope it.
What if I want to leave?
You can cancel anytime, and the site is yours — we hand off cleanly with everything documented. No lock-in and no hostage-taking of your codebase, ever.
