Hosting & Ongoing Support
Remember when websites had a webmaster? Yours can again.
Somebody should own your website — update it, fix it, watch it, and make it a little better every month. That's what a webmaster retainer is: our team, on call, treating your site like it's ours.

The problems this solves
The site nobody touches
01Launched, admired, abandoned. Stale hours, old prices, last year's photos — visitors notice, and so does Google.
Every small change is a project
02Finding someone, explaining the site, getting a quote, waiting weeks — for a paragraph change. So changes just stop happening.
Updates and plugins drift
03Unpatched sites get slower and eventually get hacked. Maintenance isn't exciting, which is exactly why it gets skipped.
No one is accountable
04When the form breaks or the site slows down, whose phone rings? With a webmaster, the answer is ours.
What you get
Everything handled. Nothing handed off.
Content updates on request
Send the change — new hours, staff, photos, pages, prices — and it's handled by people who already know your site.
Proactive care
Core, theme, and plugin updates applied deliberately, backups verified, security and uptime monitored around the clock.
Fixes without the runaround
Broken form, weird layout, slow page — reported once, fixed by the team that runs the server it lives on.
Steady improvement
Retainer hours can go to more than upkeep — landing pages, SEO touch-ups, new sections, seasonal campaigns.
“Webmaster” is an old word we use on purpose. The web was better when every site had one person who knew it, cared for it, and answered for it. Our retainers bring that back — with a full team behind the title.

Retail / Legacy CMS Rescue
Dexter Mill
A long-standing Michigan retailer's aging Joomla website had become a security liability. We rebuilt it as a modern static site, moved it to hardened infrastructure — and when a DDoS attack came, the site stayed up.

Questions
Straight answers
What counts as a request?
Practical site work — content edits, new images, a new page, a plugin update, a fix. Bigger projects (redesigns, new features, integrations) get scoped separately so your retainer stays predictable.
Do unused hours roll over?
Retainers keep a team familiar with your site and ready — that readiness is most of the value. We're flexible in practice; talk to us about how you'd use the hours and we'll fit the plan to reality.
Can you be the webmaster for a site you didn't build?
Yes — after an audit. We need to know what we're taking responsibility for; then we run it like our own work.
Do I need your hosting too?
It's strongly recommended — one accountable team for site and server is the whole point — but not required if your current hosting is genuinely solid.
