Website for Life Always Modern. Always Secure. Always Yours.
Websites get old, just like the milk in your fridge. What looks modern today will look dated in a few years. The Website for Life package ensures you always have a fresh, secure, modern web presence—without the surprise costs of rebuilds.
How It Works
Think of it like leasing a car instead of buying. You always have a modern, secure website without the surprise costs or risks.
Initial Build
I build you a professional, custom website tailored to your business needs. Mobile-responsive, fast-loading, and designed to convert visitors into customers.
Annual Support Fee
You pay a fixed annual fee for ongoing maintenance, security updates, backups, monitoring, and support. No surprise bills, no nickel-and-diming.
Fresh Redesign Every Few Years
When your site starts to feel stale (typically 3-5 years), you get a completely new website at no additional cost—included in your annual fee.
What's Included
Professional Website
Custom-built to your specifications, not a generic template. Designed to represent your business professionally.
Security Updates
Regular security patches and updates to keep your site protected from vulnerabilities and threats.
Automated Backups
Daily backups so if anything goes wrong, your site can be restored quickly without data loss.
Performance Monitoring
I monitor uptime and performance, catching issues before they affect your business.
Technical Support
Questions? Problems? I'm here to help. Email, phone, or video—whatever works for you.
Periodic Redesigns
Every 3-5 years, get a complete redesign to keep your site modern and aligned with current trends.
Content Updates
Minor content changes and tweaks throughout the year—keep your site current without extra charges.
SEO Maintenance
Basic SEO optimization and maintenance to help customers find you online.
Understanding the Costs
Transparency is important. Here's what you need to know about costs:
Your Annual Support Fee Covers:
- All development, maintenance, and support work
- Security updates and monitoring
- Automated backups and uptime monitoring
- Content updates and minor changes
- Complete redesigns every 3-5 years
Third-Party Costs (Billed Separately):
For some sites, there are ongoing third-party costs that I pay on your behalf and bill you for annually. These are pass-through costs at my actual cost—no markup. They may include:
- Domain renewal: If you registered your domain through me (~$15-30/year typically)
- Email service: The service I use to send emails from your contact forms or notification systems
- Hosting fees: Frontend and backend hosting costs, depending on your project's needs and traffic
If your site has these costs, you'll receive a clear annual invoice breaking down exactly what you're paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Not Included:
- Major new features or functionality (quoted separately)
- Integration with new third-party services
- Significant content creation (e.g., professional copywriting, photography)
If you need something beyond the scope of maintenance, I'll give you a quote upfront. You'll never see a surprise charge.
Why This Model Works
It's simple: your success is my success. Here's why this benefits both of us.
For You:
- Predictable annual costs—no surprise rebuild bills
- Always have a modern, secure website
- Someone who actually cares if your site breaks
- Long-term partner who knows your business
- Peace of mind that everything is handled
For Me:
- Recurring revenue means I can plan my business
- Incentivized to keep you happy long-term
- Build relationships, not just websites
- No chasing one-off projects constantly
- Focus on quality over quick turnarounds
It's a win-win: I build you a great website, keep it running smoothly, and refresh it when it gets stale. You get peace of mind knowing your online presence is always taken care of. No surprises, no hassle.
