Already have a website?
Keep your site. Upgrade who looks after it.
You may not need a redesign. I’ll review your current website first and tell you what moving it would involve. If it’s a good fit, I’ll move it to my managed server and look after it every month.
Every site is reviewed before anything moves. If yours can’t be moved as it is, I’ll explain your options. Moving setup is billed hourly, with an estimate first.

Questions
Hosting & Care FAQ
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Month to month. Cancel anytime with 14 days’ notice.
Do I own my website?
Yes. It’s yours. If you ever leave, I’ll hand over your files, and if you need help moving everything to a new host, that’s billed hourly, just like onboarding.
What if I already have a website somewhere else?
I can move it over. That setup time is billed hourly, and I’ll give you an estimate first so there’s no surprise.
What isn’t included in the monthly rate?
Building a brand new website from scratch, full redesigns, e-commerce setup, custom development or new functionality, and logo or graphic design. I can quote them separately.
Anything else outside the standard monthly plan, like a quick tweak, a new page, or a one-off request, is billed at $175/hour in 15-minute increments, with an estimate first.
