Low Up-Front Cost
With Traditional website development you pay 50% up front and 50% when the website is launched. With our MWW program your up-front costs are significantly lower as you pay a low monthly fee.
The Smartest Way to
Build,Manage & Maintain Your Website
Our Managed Wordpress Website (MWW) program takes care of your website, for now and in the future, for a reasonable monthly fee.
You get a custom designed new website, hosting, updates, security, maintenance, and more. Everything you need. And after 3 years we'll rebuild your site at no additional cost.
Let's Start with an analogy...
To compare Traditional Website Development with MWW Development
Imagine that you bought a new car and paid cash up front . It’s not cheap, and it starts depreciating the moment you drive it off the lot. You’re responsible for maintaining your car, with oil changes, detailing, and more. Eventually you need new tires, a brake job, a tune up, and maybe you even want to customize it.
Most people don’t have the tools or knowledge to do this kind of work themselves.
Building a new website has traditionally been like buying a new car. You pay a lot up front, and once your website is launched, you are responsible for managing and maintaining it. And what happens when you want to update content, add new pages, or if your website crashes or gets hacked?
Like with cars, most people or businesses don’t have the tools or knowledge to properly manage, maintain and customize their website.
This is where our MWW program helps you!

Traditional & MWW Defined
A website built the “Traditional Way” is the same as a website built as part of our “managed” program. The difference is in how the payments are handled and who manages, maintains and updates the website moving forward.
Would you prefer a "Transaction" or a "Relationship"?
The Traditional Way (Like a Product)
In a Traditional Website Build you pay for your website up front – typically 50% at the start of the build and 50% at the website launch. Then you take responsibility for the maintenance, updates and security. Sort of like purchasing a product in a transaction.
MWW (A Service)
With our MWW approach you pay a reasonable monthly fee that covers design, development, hosting, maintenance, content updates and security. And we rebuild your site every 3 years. Everything required to keep your site fresh and up-to-date. It 's an ongoing relationship.
A Visual Comparison
From a website perspective both Traditional and MWW are going to produce the same website. But as shown with a Traditional Build the cost of the site is paid out immediately, maintenance and management is your responsibility, and you would pay up front to rebuild or refresh the site after 36 months.
The reason a majority of our MWW clients continue working with us beyond the initial 3 years is that they are able to easily budget their website costs and focus on their business knowing that their website is well taken care of.
