  2. Website Care+

    $329 CAD/mo

    Keep it current.

    For a site you update through the year: seasonal offers, team changes, events. Adds 2 hours of content edits a month (15-minute increments; extra time $150/hr; unused time doesn't roll over) and a monthly report. Replies within 1 business day.

  3. Website Care Pro

    $649 CAD/mo

Includes 3 hours of content edits a month. Replies within 4 business hours.

  4. Website Care + Managed Security
