I’m building my next ten websites at half price.
Not a sale, and not a race to the bottom — a trade. You get the build at half what it normally costs. In return, you keep me on to look after the site for a year.
How it works
The monthly plan is 10% of the site’s normal price. So if your site would normally be a thousand dollars, you pay five hundred to build it, and a hundred a month after that. Same sum, different shape. Current prices are on the pricing page — the offer is half of whatever your tier says there.
The plan is meant to run for a year — that’s what makes half price work — and after that it simply carries on month to month at the same rate. You can stop earlier if you need to; I’d just ask for a clear heads up.
If you’ve looked at my pricing before, you may have noticed the tiers mention revisions and support “with monthly plan.” This is that plan. It’s been part of how I work for a while; I’ve simply never put a number on it until now.
What you get
Everything your tier already includes — all listed on the pricing page, and none of it changes. The plan adds the ongoing side:
- Revisions. Changes to your site as your business changes — new prices, updated opening hours, a different photo, reworded copy, moving a section higher up. How many are included depends on your tier; the higher tiers are unlimited
- Support — you have someone to ask when something looks wrong, rather than hunting for whoever built the site two years ago
- Hosting — set up and paid for, nothing for you to manage
- Updates and security patches, so the site doesn’t quietly fall behind
- Backups, so a bad day is an inconvenience rather than a disaster
- Uptime monitoring — if your site goes down, I find out, not your customers
- Ongoing search monitoring — every week I check how search engines see your site, and once a month you get a report in plain English about anything holding it back. Your build sets search up properly; this is the part that keeps watching afterwards
That last one is a system I built and run myself, and it’s the piece most web people don’t include. It’s the difference between finding out about a problem now, and finding out once your enquiries have already dried up.
Why I’m doing it this way
This suits me too, and I’d rather say that than pretend it’s charity. Steady monthly income is worth more to me than a bigger cheque up front — it’s what lets me take on fewer clients and actually look after them.
That’s the trade. I’d rather maintain ten sites properly than hand over twenty and never see them again. And you get a site that’s still working in two years.
That second part matters more than it sounds. Most small business sites aren’t killed by bad design — they rot. Something expires, a form quietly stops sending, an update breaks a page, and nobody notices for four months because nobody’s looking. Handing over a folder of files and disappearing is normal in this industry, and it’s why so many small business sites are slightly broken.
Where the line is
Revisions mean changes to the site you bought. They don’t mean an unlimited new site.
Every tier comes with a page count, listed with your tier on the pricing page. Changing those pages is a revision. Wanting more pages than your tier covers isn’t a revision — it’s a bigger site, and that’s a move up a tier rather than something I’d quietly absorb.
Same for genuinely new work: a full redesign, a new feature like online payments or a booking system, or writing your content for you. Those are real projects and I’d quote them properly. I’d rather draw that line clearly now than have an awkward conversation later about what was supposed to be included.
Which sites this applies to
Starter, Pro and Custom builds. The Mini tier isn’t part of this — it’s a single landing page, and it wouldn’t be honest to attach a monthly fee to something that needs almost no looking after. Mini is still available at its normal price.
Who this suits
A business that wants a site to be an asset rather than a thing they bought once. If never thinking about hosting, updates or backups again sounds like a relief, this is built for you.
It’s a bad fit if you’d rather pay once and own the whole thing outright with no ongoing relationship. That’s a perfectly reasonable way to buy a website — it’s just not this offer, and I’ll happily quote you the normal way instead.
Questions you might have
Is the monthly plan optional? Not on this offer — the plan is what makes half price possible. But the thing you’d really be giving up isn’t the discount, it’s knowing whether the site is working. Without it, a website is something you launch and then guess about: nobody watching whether it’s up, whether search engines can read it, or whether anyone’s actually finding you. With it, you get that in plain English every month. If you’d genuinely rather buy the build and be done, I’ll quote it at the normal price and there’s no hard feelings.
What if I want to leave before the twelve months are up? You can. I’d just ask for a clear heads up — 30 days is plenty — so I can hand everything over properly instead of your site going quiet unexpectedly. There’s no exit fee and I won’t chase you for the discount. The half-price build is priced on the assumption the year runs its course, so leaving at month two does mean I’ve taken a loss on it. I’m trusting you not to plan that from the outset.
What happens after the twelve months? It carries on month to month at exactly the same rate. I don’t put the price up on people for staying — that’s backwards. Cancel whenever you like with the same heads up, and you keep the site either way. It’s yours.
Do I own the site? Yes, completely. The plan is me looking after something that belongs to you, not renting it to you.
Can I update the site myself? Some builds include a CMS, so you or your team can edit pages directly — the pricing page shows whether your tier has one. If it doesn’t, you don’t need one: send me the change and it’s covered by your revisions.
What counts as a revision versus new work? If it’s changing something already there, it’s a revision. If it’s adding something that isn’t — an extra page beyond your tier, a booking system, a shop — that’s new work and I’ll quote it. Your tier’s page count is the line.
Why only ten? Because I’m one person and I’m committing to a year of looking after each one. I’d rather do ten of these properly than take on thirty and do a worse job of all of them. When they’re gone, I’ll say so here.
