WEBSITE SERVICES & PRICING

Know what to fix. Choose who looks after it.

Already have a website? Start with a one-time audit or a scoped fix sprint. Need a new website and someone to keep it running? Explore the monthly packages below. These are separate services; buying an audit does not enroll you in monthly Care.

EXISTING WEBSITE · ONE-TIME SERVICES

Find what’s getting in the way of your next customer.

Start with a focused review of your website. We’ll show you what to fix first, then you can handle it yourself, give the plan to your developer, or ask us to do the work.

Website Revenue Audit

$299 one time

  • Up to five public pages on one website.
  • The mobile path to calling, booking, or requesting a quote.
  • Page clarity, search presentation, and two relevant competitors.
  • A prioritized report with screenshots and a 20-minute review call.

Recommendations only; implementation is separate. We confirm fit and your delivery date before payment.

Website Fix Sprint

$1,000 one time

  • Up to three improvements agreed in writing before work starts.
  • A maximum of six delivery hours within that agreed scope.
  • Before-and-after evidence and a clear handoff.

For suitable existing websites. Rebuilds, migrations, custom apps, and new integrations need a separate quote.

Ask about a fix sprint →

Each service has a separate one-time fee. The audit gives you a plan; the sprint implements agreed fixes. You can buy an audit without booking a sprint or signing up for monthly Care. Rankings and revenue aren’t guaranteed.

ONGOING SERVICE · BILLED MONTHLY

A new website. Someone to keep it working.

These packages include a custom website build and ongoing Care. The build has no separate charge with a 12-month plan. Prefer month-to-month? Pay for the build up front, then pay the same monthly Care rate.

Already have a site you want to keep? Ask about Care for your existing website. We’ll confirm compatibility and scope before recommending a plan. The one-time audit and fix sprint above are purchased separately; monthly Care is optional.

WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE

Two of ours. Both live.

These are ours. We’re not borrowing someone else’s work to look busy. Same stack we’d build yours on, which is how we know what it costs to keep one alive.

HOW THE FREE BUILD WORKS

Twelve months, or pay for the build.

A custom website costs real money to make. If we don’t charge you for it, the year of Care is what pays for it — so the free build means signing a twelve-month membership. That’s the whole catch. We’d rather it was on the pricing page than buried in a contract you find in March.

Free build

No charge for the build. You sign a twelve-month membership. Cancel early and the rest of the term is due — that’s the bit that paid for your website.

Month-to-month

Pay for the build up front, quoted after the audit, then the same monthly rate and no term at all. Cancel whenever, keep everything, nothing to settle.

Either way it’s the same monthly rate. No setup fee, no rise at renewal, and no charge for asking us a question.

Not here for a website?

Automation work doesn’t go on a tier sheet, because what it costs depends entirely on what your week actually looks like. That starts with an audit — a paid one — and gets quoted from what it finds. The process is written out in full, and nothing is priced until we both know what is involved.

The questions we actually get.

Is the website really free?
There's no separate charge for it, but you sign a 12-month membership to get it. It isn't charity — the year of Care is what pays for the build, which is why the contract exists. If you'd rather not commit to twelve months, pay for the build up front and stay month-to-month at the same rate.
What happens if I cancel before twelve months?
On the free-build plan the rest of the term is due, because that's what paid for the build. On month-to-month there's nothing to settle — you already paid for it, so cancel whenever and keep the lot. Nobody's locked into a site they hate. The two plans just pay for the build differently.
Do I own the website?
On month-to-month, yes — outright, from launch. On the free-build plan it's yours once the twelve months are up, or straight away if you settle the rest early. That's the trade for not paying for it up front.
Why is there a package price here but not for your automation work?
A website is a known quantity — we can tell you what it costs before we start. Automation work isn't, because it depends on what your week actually looks like. That still starts with a paid audit and gets quoted after. This page prices websites, not everything we do.
Can I move up a level later?
Any time — the new rate starts at your next bill. Moving down waits until the end of a term, since the build was priced against the level you started on.
What's not included?
Paid ads, photography, copywriting for a site that needs a hundred pages, and anything that belongs to a different profession — a lawyer, an accountant, a brand agency. We'd rather tell you something's outside what we do than do it badly.

Pick a level. We’ll say if it’s the wrong one.

No pressure on the first call. If a package is more than you need we’ll say so — selling someone the wrong one is how you lose them by month four.
