Webmaster Support
(Do you really want to be a webmaster?)
web·mas·ter
noun
the person who maintains a particular website.
Spend your time or spend your money? It's your call.
It's really easy for our clients to update their own sites, and many of our clients do that.
After all, "do it yourself" is free.
(But how much is
your time worth?)
Do It Yourself, or Hire a Pro??
We often hear about business owners pulling their hair out, because they decided to take care of their websites themselves... but the website always takes a back seat to running the business.
Just let us take care of those website tasks.
Just about every website needs occasional updates—whether it's refreshing content, posting news or blogs, or making small tweaks as your business evolves. That’s why our Standard Plan is built to meet this ongoing need for most of our clients. It includes up to an hour of updates each month (enough for typical changes or posts), plus hosting, security, reports, and even a local SEO audit—making it the go-to choice for businesses that want to keep things current without taking it all on themselves.
If you have the time, experience, and interest in making updates yourself, our DIY Economy Plan gives you all the core tools to manage things hands-on—at a lower monthly cost.
And for businesses that are actively growing their web presence—posting frequently, focusing on SEO, or managing their online reputation—our Premium Plan includes more support time each month and adds detailed rank tracking, competitor analysis, and review monitoring.
Compare all three options below, or contact us to set up a custom plan to best fit your needs.

Bonus: we are now providing a Termageddon license for your website with the Standard or Premium Support plans ($120/year value).
If you you choose the "Do It Yourself" plan, we provide the tools to make changes, dozens of tutorial videos, and hundreds of "how to" help files for those who want to "D-I-Y". We recommend you have us add the Termageddon service for "Economy Plan" sites.
If you need additional assistance in excess of your plan's prepaid support, we are glad to help as needed, at our current hourly rate of $200/hour
(billed in 15 minute blocks).
* - Please note that our support is tracked or billed in 15 minute blocks, so to keep from paying you more than you have to, we suggest:
- We can often complete several minor updates in a single block of time, so accumulate and send your changes and material in batches. (Blog posts can be scheduled for future publication, so you can batch those as well.)
- Tell us exactly what you want us to do, and where, especially if you have a lot of content on your site! "Add the following wording on the page www.mysite.com/abc in place of the paragraph starting with XYZ" can be accomplished a lot faster than "We don't offer XYZ anymore so take it off our site."
- Plan ahead. It will cost more for us to leave the cook-out in the middle of the holiday weekend to add your "holiday special" to your site.
- We have discounted the rates for prepaid support options with the expectation that some clients will not use every last minute every month. Therefore, unused support time does not "roll over" to the following month.
