CMS platforms we manage
On a different platform (Framer, Ghost, Craft)? We migrate to the CMS that fits your business, keeping every URL redirected 1:1 so SEO doesn't drop.
Six work streams that run every month, whether your site had a crisis or not.
Tested plugin, theme, and CMS updates in a staging environment. Malware scanning, firewall rules, hardening. Same-day patches when a CVE drops.
Core Web Vitals tuned to green. Real-user monitoring, not lab scores. Image, cache, and script audits every quarter.
30 second uptime checks. Form submission and checkout webhook monitoring. You find out from us, not from your customers.
Content, page, product, and design edits, batched or same-day depending on plan. No hourly nickel and dime for a paragraph change.
Daily offsite backups, verified by actually restoring them on staging. A backup you have never restored is a hope, not a plan.
One person on your account, plus a backup. Not a ticket queue. Reachable by email, WhatsApp, or Slack shared channel.
Base management plus a clear split for edits and dev work. No hidden hourly ticker for a paragraph change.

Scoped project work: new features, integrations, rebuilds.
Management keeps the site alive: updates, backups, security, monitoring, emergency response. It runs whether you asked for anything or not. Edits change what's on the site: new copy, new pages, product additions, design tweaks. That's discretionary work you request. Most providers bundle them into one number so you can't tell what you're paying for. We split them so you can pick the base plan that fits and add edit hours only if you actually use them.

Website management is the ongoing work of keeping a live site fast, secure, and up to date. That includes CMS and plugin updates, backups, uptime and security monitoring, performance tuning, content and design edits, and emergency response when something breaks. It's the difference between a site that quietly compounds value for years and one that dies the first time a plugin auto-updates badly.
Maintenance is the technical hygiene: updates, backups, security, uptime. Management adds the human layer on top: content and design edits, campaign support, integration work, and someone who owns the strategy of keeping the site useful. Most providers use the terms interchangeably. We split them explicitly on our pricing: Care is maintenance only, Care + Edits adds management-style edit hours.
Honest 2026 pricing across the market: WP Buffs $89-$359/mo (WordPress only), Pronto Marketing from $99/mo (bundles edits), GoWP $1,099-$1,299/mo (dedicated hire), freelancers $50-$150/hr, and DIY $0-$30/mo in platform fees plus your time. Our plans span $79-$799/mo across every major CMS.

Extra hours are available as 2-hour ($150), 5-hour ($325), or 10-hour ($600) blocks. Larger builds are quoted per project at $95/hr. No surprise invoices for a paragraph change.
