Full-Service Website Management for Small Business
I design, build, host, and maintain your website so you don't have to. One developer, one monthly price, everything included. $150/month with $0 down for small businesses in St. George, Utah and beyond.
What Is Website Management?
Website management is the complete handling of a business website: design and development, hosting and infrastructure, ongoing maintenance, security monitoring, content updates, and direct support. One service, one provider, one monthly price.
For most small businesses, hiring a web designer to build a site is only step one. Step two (the part nobody talks about) is the years of hosting bills, security patches, broken plugins, design refreshes, and content updates that come after launch. Website management collapses all of that into a single subscription.
- Custom design and hand-coded development
- Premium hosting, SSL, and infrastructure
- Domain registration and renewal handled for you
- Version-controlled source with instant rollback and security monitoring
- Unlimited same-day content updates
- Direct access to the developer who built your site
Website Management vs Maintenance vs Support
These three terms get used interchangeably, but they're different services. Here's how they actually break down.
Website Maintenance
Keeping the lights on
- Security updates and patches
- Instant rollback
- Speed optimization
- Bug fixes
- Uptime monitoring
Website maintenance services keep an existing site running. They don't include design changes or new content.
Website Support
Help when you need it
- Troubleshooting issues
- Answering questions
- Technical guidance
- Emergency response
- Tutorial walkthroughs
Website support services help when something breaks or you have questions. Usually billed hourly or as a separate retainer.

Website management includes everything: building your site, hosting it, maintaining it, supporting it, and updating it. One monthly price.
Everything Included Every Month
Six pillars of website management, all handled for you under one monthly price.
-
Design & Build
Custom website hand-coded from scratch for your business. Mobile-responsive, fast-loading, designed to convert visitors into customers.
-
Hosting, Domain & Infrastructure
Premium Netlify hosting with SSL certificates and a global CDN. I also register and renew your domain so it's all in one place. Everything your site needs to stay fast and online without you knowing what any of that means.
-
Security & Instant Rollback
Version-controlled source, security monitoring, and active vulnerability patching. If something ever goes wrong, I roll back to a working version in seconds.
-
Content Updates
Phone number changes, new homepage photos, hour updates, new service descriptions: text me and it's done the same day. Unlimited content updates are included every month.
-
Performance Optimization
Continuous speed tuning, image compression, code minification, and caching. Every site I manage scores 100/100 on Google PageSpeed and stays that way.
-
Direct Developer Support
Text, call, or email the developer who built your site. Same-day responses from a real person, every time. You're working with the person who knows your business.
Signs You Need a New Website
If three or more of these sound familiar, your current website is costing you customers and you probably need a rebuild rather than a patch.
- Your site takes more than 3 seconds to load on a phone. 53% of mobile visitors bounce on slow sites. They never see your offer.
- Your contact form hasn't worked in months and you didn't notice. Forms break silently after server updates. If nobody's testing them, you're losing leads without knowing it.
- Your copyright year is older than two years ago. Visitors notice. It signals "this business stopped paying attention."
- Your previous web designer has stopped responding. One-and-done freelancers disappear once the build is paid for. Your site goes unmaintained until it breaks.
- Visitors find you on Google but bounce before calling. A site that ranks but doesn't convert is worse than no site, because you're paying for visitors who leave with a bad first impression.
- You've been told your CMS is end-of-life. WordPress or other platform vendors push expensive migrations every few years. A custom-coded static site doesn't have an end-of-life.
Websites Aren't Build-and-Forget
Most agencies charge $3,000 to $10,000 to build a site, then disappear the moment it goes live. Six months later, something breaks. The agency is suddenly "too busy" or has a two-week wait. Sometimes they've gone out of business entirely.
Meanwhile, the site gets slower. Security gaps grow. New phone models break the layout. The website that was supposed to grow your business is now actively hurting it, and you're stuck paying for a redesign within two years.
Website management exists because small businesses deserve a different model. Your site is a relationship, not a deliverable. I'm invested in your site working long-term because that's how my business works too.
Website Management Is Built For
Great Fit
- Small business owners who want to focus on their business, not their website
- Companies without a dedicated IT person or marketing team
- Businesses tired of dealing with unreliable freelancers
- Anyone who's been burned by an agency that disappeared after launch
- Owners who want predictable monthly costs with everything included
Not a Fit
- Large enterprises with in-house development teams
- Tech companies that want to manage their own infrastructure
- Businesses that need complex web applications built (I build websites, not software)
- Anyone hunting for the absolute cheapest option on the market
From Discovery Call to Live Website
Discovery
Tell me about your business and what you need. I research your market and your competition.

I design a custom mockup for your approval. Then I hand-code every page from scratch.
Launch
After your final review, I connect your domain and push the site live.
Ongoing Management
I handle hosting, security, backups, and same-day content changes from then on. You run your business.
What Ongoing Management Looks Like
"We couldn't be happier with our website! Thank you Max for putting our website to the #1 spot on Google rankings!"
Frequently Asked
-
Traditional web designers build your site and disappear. Website management is more like having a web department on retainer. Your site is never finished. It's continuously hosted, maintained, secured, and updated. When you need something, you have direct access to the developer who built your site, and changes happen the same day.
-
Depends on what you have. If it's a modern, well-built site, I can bring it into the management program. Most WordPress sites with dozens of plugins are a nightmare to maintain and I'd spend more time fighting fires than improving your business. In those cases, it's usually cheaper to start fresh with a custom-coded site built for performance from day one. I'll give you an honest assessment.
-
I don't build new WordPress sites. Every site I build is hand-coded from scratch for speed, security, and maintainability. Custom code outperforms WordPress on every metric that matters: load time, security, hosting cost, and ease of long-term maintenance. If you're locked into a WordPress site, I can usually rebuild it as a custom-coded site for less than you'd spend fighting WordPress maintenance over the next two years.
-
Same day during business hours, usually within a few hours. Text or email me what you need changed and I get it done. You're working with the developer who built your site, not a support queue, ticket system, or account manager relaying messages.
-
Small businesses with 1 to 25 employees. Service businesses, contractors, healthcare, professional services, and local retail are the sweet spot. If your business needs a 5 to 10 page website that loads fast, ranks well in Google, and converts visitors into customers, this is built for you.
