Websites should no longer be viewed as a “set and forget” product. They require on-going technical, content and design updates in order to stay relevant and useful to your users.
With a monthly investment these essential on-going updates are included as standard. Paying for your website monthly also removes a large up-front cost, increasing cash-flow in other areas of your business.
For a full breakdown of everything included in the Lite and Pro monthly website plans; take a look at my services page.
Both Lite and Pro monthly plans include unlimited content updates. You can email or telephone me with your changes, which I aim to complete within 24 hours. Or, if you are on the pro plan you can also update most content yourself through a content management system.
All costs associated with ongoing content updates, maintenance and hosting within the scope of your current subscription are included. There are extra costs associated with increased email storage which is detailed on my services page.
When you first sign up I will ask you to complete a short Q&A, this allows me to get a better understanding of your needs. While your subscription is active I’m happy to work with you to revise and amend your website design until you are 100% satisfied.
Yes, if you prefer, you are able to register and manage your own domain name. I do however offer a domain name registration, renewal and management service included within the monthly cost.

You can have as many email addresses and mailboxes as you like, however; there is a charge for extra email storage which is detailed on my services page.
I work to a strict code of modern web standards; meaning your website pages and content will be correctly structured and easily found by Google. When working on a new project I also submit your website address to Google and make sure any URL forwarding or sitemaps are present and correct. Website’s I’ve developed in the past have all ranked very well on Google, and generally score 90% + on Google’s own Page Insights tool.
