Comparison
One-time build or build plus care?
One-time build or build plus care plan?
The short answer
A site without care ages from day one: software rots, certificates expire, competitors publish. The care plan is not an upsell - it is the maintenance schedule of a business asset. The only real question is the scope and the price of the care.
How to actually decide
- Who applies updates and watches uptime - you, at what hourly rate?
- Backups: tested and offsite, or a checkbox?
- Small edits: who does them, at what wait?
What we recommend
Care plans here are itemised monthly work, not a retainer vibe. Read one before deciding they are optional. Both sides of this comparison are builds we deliver - which is exactly why the recommendation above has no sales angle. Itemise your stack in the services, or redesign.
