What’s included in the Managed-For-You plan?
Monthly updates, design refinements, bug fixes, performance and Core Web Vitals monitoring, plugin and code checks, and priority support for anything urgent. Essentially, your site stays fast, current and working without you lifting a finger.
How much does it cost, and is there a minimum term?
The Managed-For-You plan starts from £150 a month, with the build included and no separate build fee. The minimum term is 1 year, billed annually, so the year is paid up front. You get the figure in writing after our first call, before any work starts.
Do you use AI to build the websites?
Yes, and it’s not something I’m trying to hide: it’s the reason a custom-built website can cost from £150 a month. An agency charges for account managers, an office and the weeks a developer spends on repetitive technical work. I work on my own, remotely, and AI tools do that repetitive work for me, from the behind-the-scenes code to the testing and the monthly upkeep. That saves a lot of hours without losing any quality, and the saving goes to you. The design, the words and the final check on every change are still mine, done by hand.
How often can I request changes on the Managed-For-You plan?
You can request updates every month as part of your plan, and there’s priority support for urgent changes. Larger or more frequent updates can be arranged through a custom plan.
Do you offer emergency support?
Yes. Managed-For-You clients get priority scheduling and fast response times for urgent issues, so your site is never left waiting.
What if I need a bigger update?
Major updates, such as new page builds or a full redesign, are scoped separately as projects. As a Managed-For-You client you always get priority scheduling and support.
Do I own the website on a pay monthly plan?
The site is custom built for you and runs on the plan while you’re on it. When you want to leave, I package up the full code and hand it over: it’s yours to host yourself or to give to another designer. That’s the question to ask any pay monthly provider, because on most of the cheap plans the answer is no.
Why is it more than a £30 a month website?
Because it’s a different product. A £30 to £60 a month website is a template with your logo on it, built once, hosted and left alone, and usually not yours if you leave. This is a custom-designed site, with a designer working on it every month: new pages, new photos, new prices, fixes, performance and security. The honest comparison is with a £3,000 build plus the cost of keeping it current, and on that comparison it comes out level over two years with far less of your time in it.
Can you migrate my existing site?
Yes, whether that’s moving from WordPress, Wix or Webflow to Squarespace, or moving to a fully custom build managed by me. I’ll review what’s working and what isn’t, and rebuild without you losing the SEO equity you’ve already earned.
How long does a project take?
Most projects take 3 to 6 weeks depending on complexity. Managed-For-You clients don’t have a hard finish line, since I keep working on the site after launch.
Managed-For-You or a custom Squarespace build: which is right for me?
Go Managed-For-You if you’d simply like a website that’s completely looked after for you, it doesn’t need to be built on Squarespace, and it doesn’t need to be as feature heavy. Go for a custom Squarespace build if you want full control and ownership, a one-time fee, and features like e-commerce, blogging or newsletters. We’ll settle it on the first call.
Is the SEO add-on required?
No. The SEO Plan is an optional add-on for Managed-For-You clients, at £500 a quarter. Every quarter it covers a full technical SEO audit with fixes made on the spot, meta and schema updates, a page speed tune-up, an internal linking review, and a plain-English report. Most clients add it once the site’s live and they want to actively grow traffic, not just maintain it.
