Website Care combines managed hosting, technical upkeep, monitoring, routine update capacity and a private request path. The one-time build, required initial Care term and exact first-year total are shown before the project is approved.
Compare Essential, Active and Priority Website Care.
Essential protects the website and includes a requests-only portal. Active adds connected website-health, lead-attribution and quarterly reporting views. Priority adds Search Opportunities and monthly reports. Search Opportunities is not the full Search Control System. Every plan keeps its published update allowance; unused time does not roll over. Standalone Care does not include ongoing SEO.
Yearly shows the 10%-off monthly equivalent and the full amount prepaid for 12 months.

See everything included +
Protection and support include:
Existing banner, announcement, text, hours, link and basic image updates
Standard update scheduling
Separate quarterly website-health summary; this is not an automated performance report
Private requests-only portal for requests, replies, files, progress, decisions and completed-work history
A routine request is a change to the existing website that can usually be completed in about 30–45 minutes using the current design and client-provided content. Essential, Active and Priority time does not roll over. Larger requests may be divided into routine steps or quoted separately. Sustained atypical volume or requests split to avoid project scope may trigger a plan review, revised schedule or separate written scope. New pages, major redesigns, custom development, original copywriting, standalone graphic design and SEO campaigns are outside standalone Website Care.

How care works
How Website Care requests and larger updates are handled.
Care protects the website and gives routine changes a dependable home. Larger work receives a separate explanation and price before it begins.
01Send one organized request+
Group the changes you want through the eligible client portal or confirmed support channel so the work can be reviewed, scheduled and completed efficiently.
02Web Respawn confirms the scope+
Routine changes move into the care schedule. Anything larger is explained and quoted before work starts.
03Changes are completed and checked+
Approved updates are made within the existing website and checked across the affected experience.
04Review the plan as needs change+
Move up or down when the website becomes more active, adds complexity or needs less ongoing attention.
Website care is not SEO
Care operates the website. SEO grows its search visibility.
WEBSITE CARE
Manage the live website
Hosting, monitoring, technical support and routine updates within the selected allowance. No ongoing SEO or ranking work.
WEBSITE DESIGN
Build something new
New pages, major layouts, custom functions, full-page redesigns, complex integrations and large migrations.
Is Website Care included in the website build price?+
Website Care is billed separately from the one-time website build, and both amounts appear in the written proposal before work begins. Focused and Complete Business Websites require at least Essential Care for the initial 12-month term. Contractor Website Packages require at least Active Care for that term. After the first 12 months, Care can continue monthly or with another annual prepayment. Ongoing SEO clients receive the Website Care level matched to their selected SEO plan.
Why does Website Care cost more than basic hosting?+
Basic hosting primarily keeps website files online. Website Care adds managed hosting, SSL, technical upkeep, monitoring, recovery support and direct help. Essential adds a small update allowance, Active adds two hours and monthly customer-path checks, and Priority adds four hours of routine updates with the fastest scheduling.
How does the monthly website-update allowance work?+
A routine request is a change to the existing website that can usually be completed in about 30–45 minutes using the current design and client-provided content. Essential, Active and Priority time does not roll over. Larger requests may be divided into routine steps or quoted separately. Sustained atypical volume or requests split to avoid project scope may trigger a plan review, revised schedule or separate written scope. New pages, major redesigns, custom development, original copywriting, standalone graphic design and SEO campaigns are outside standalone Website Care.
Do I own the website if Website Care is required?+
Yes. After all website-project payments are complete, you own the approved client-specific content, design and custom website code deliverables identified in the proposal. Web Respawn remains the managed host during the required initial 12-month Care term. A transfer can be requested after that term and after all balances are paid.
Is Website Care the same as SEO?+
No. Standalone Website Care operates, maintains and updates the existing website; it does not include keyword strategy, search content or SEO campaign implementation. Active and Priority still include their published quarterly or monthly client performance reports. The $900, $1,500 and $2,500+ SEO plans include Essential, Active and Priority Website Care respectively. SEO work follows the selected plan’s implementation capacity and never consumes the Care allowance.
Can Web Respawn care for a website it did not build?+
Possibly. The platform, hosting, code, integrations and maintenance history need to be reviewed before a care plan can be confirmed.
MONTHLY OR 10%-OFF YEARLY BILLING
Keep the website managed after launch.
Focused and Complete websites begin with Essential Care or higher; Contractor Website Packages begin with Active or Priority. Your written proposal shows the exact first-year total with no hidden website costs.Discuss Website Care
