A monthly lane for small improvements, checks, dependency upkeep, backups/recovery planning, and calm follow-through after launch.
Starting point
Monthly retainers usually start around $450
Care starts after launch or after a short stabilization review of an existing site.
After launch
Typical care includes a monthly check-in, small updates, form/uptime checks, security/dependency review, and clear boundaries for larger work.
Common fit
Problems this is meant to solve.
01
Nobody knows who owns updates, forms, backups, or launch follow-up.
02
Small fixes pile up until the site feels neglected.
03
There is no clear recovery plan if a deploy, form, or dependency breaks.
Best for
- Businesses that do not want their site to go stale after launch

- Small teams that need practical upkeep without a 24/7 support desk
