Where every dollar goes
What does each plan actually buy you?
Hours of skilled technical work per month, by category, for every tier. The retail value is what these hours would cost at market rates.
| Where the time goes | Essentials $99 | Pro $249 | Concierge $595 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protective work (backups, security, uptime, updates, SSL) | 9 hrs | 9 hrs | 9 hrs |
| Performance audits + monthly reporting | 1 hrs | 2.5 hrs | 2.5 hrs |
| Content edits (writing, images, layouts) | - | 0.5 hrs | 4 hrs |
| Strategy calls + relationship time | - | 0.5 hrs | 4 hrs |
| Direct text + phone access (real human) | - | - | 2 hrs |
| Site refresh prorated (every 16 months) | - | - | 2 hrs |
| Total hours / month | 10 hrs | 12.5 hrs | 21.5 hrs |
| Retail value | $725 | $1,200 | $2,500 |
| You pay | $99 | $249 | $595 |
| You save | $626/mo | $951/mo | $1,905/mo |
Every tier delivers more retail value than you pay. The higher tiers add hours that are harder to scale (relationship time, unlimited edits, design refresh) which is why the unit rate is still below market at every level.
The other number
The real cost is not paying for maintenance.
The average unmanaged small business website costs its owner $8,840 per year in downtime, emergency dev hours, hack recovery, and lost SEO rankings. Even our most expensive plan ($7,140/year) saves you $1,700 plus the value of a free site refresh.
