Care plans
Websites need small, steady attention. Care plans cover that attention for a flat monthly fee, so your hours, events, and availability are right when people look.
Good to know
Month to month, no long-term contract. Hosting is in your own Hostinger account and billed by Hostinger; I am glad to help you set it up.
Keep
$100 / month
For sites that change a few times a year and need to stay healthy.
Tend
$300 / month
For active organizations and practices with regular updates.
Steward
$750 / month
For sites with lots of programming or a steady content plan.
Unused hours do not roll over. Work beyond the plan is quoted first, and nothing is billed without your approval. Because Story In Reach is a one-person practice, I keep the number of Steward clients small.

Questions
No. You own your site and can maintain it yourself. The guide you receive at launch covers the basics. Care plans are for people who would rather spend their time on their work.
You do, directly to Hostinger, in an account in your name. That keeps you in control. I can help you choose a plan and set it up.
Yes. Plans are month to month. Let me know before your next billing date and the change takes effect then.
No one can honestly promise rankings. A care plan keeps your information accurate, consistent, and easy for search engines and people to understand, which is the part within our control.
Often, yes, if it is a simple site. I will take a look first and let you know what is realistic.
