Website as a Service

Is it more suitable than upfront payments? How much does it cost?

Is Website-as-a-Service suitable for my business?

A monthly Website-as-a-Service plan is useful if you’re too busy running your business to worry about your website or if you don’t want to invest too much upfront in your digital marketing. It’s a good fit if you need a simple website that acts as an “online brochure” and captures leads with an online form.

For online stores, membership sites and anything that needs custom coding, we recommend our traditional upfront pricing model with a 25% deposit and the 75% final payment when the site is published.

Monthly payments vs upfront payments

With one of our WaaS monthly plans, you don’t need to pay $1,800+ upfront for a new website and you don’t need to worry about software licences and updates.

Instead, you will pay between $29 and $179 per month for a website that is always updated and maintained by our team. Our WaaS (Website-as-a-Service) plans are all inclusive with the exception of the copy, that is your text and your pictures. But for an extra fee, we can arrange for a copywriter to create your content.

At the end of the WaaS plan, the website is yours and you can move it to your own web hosting or we can can maintain with one of our website care plans.

Website-as-a-Service plans

All our websites load fast, work well on mobile devices (mobile responsive) and are secure.  All plans are a 24-month commitment.
