Programs · Monthly partnership, ongoing

Three programs.
One partnership.

Monthly partnership for the work that happens after launch. Maintenance, growth, SEO, strategy. Light touch to deep involvement, your call.

The Work After Launch

Past the Build, the real work begins.

A site is the start. The compound returns come from what happens next: the steady polish, the SEO, the strategic decisions, the small fixes that add up over months and years. Programs are where that work lives.

    The Honest Answers

    Common questions, real answers.

    A Build is a one-time project to launch or rebuild your site. A Program is the ongoing monthly partnership for everything that happens after launch. Most clients do a Build, then move into a Program. Some skip the Build and start with a Program if their site is already in good shape.

    Hours are spent on active work: content updates, design tweaks, SEO writing, technical fixes, ongoing strategy. Monitoring, backups, and infrastructure run automatically and do not count against your hours. If your business needs more hours in a given month, we will tell you before doing the work and quote the overage. Unused hours do not roll over to the next month, that is industry standard.

    Yes. If your existing site is in reasonable shape, we can take it over and run a Program from day one. We will do a Pop Quiz first to see what we are walking into, then a Roll Call to talk through what makes sense.

    Anytime, with 30 days notice. Most clients start in Hall Pass and move up to Honor Roll once they see what we can do. Some start in Valedictorian for the first 90 days and step down to Honor Roll once the heavy lifting is done. Your Program adapts to where you are.

    30 days notice, no questions asked. No cancellation fees, no contracts that auto-renew with hidden terms. We do not want a client who does not want to be there. Your last month is run with the same care as the first.

    A recurring strategy call with both partners, on your calendar every month for Honor Roll, twice a month for Valedictorian. Not a status update, not a sales pitch. A real conversation about what is working, what to fix, and what to do next. We come prepared with data, you come prepared with questions.

    Absolutely. Any Field Day service can be added to any Program at the same a la carte rate. Honor Roll and Valedictorian clients also get access to the Recess Add-on at $500 per month, which is not available standalone.

    If your business has compound growth potential and needs a full year of strategic partnership, not just maintenance. Dissertation is a twelve month coaching program and requires an application. Most of our clients do not need it. The ones who do, know.

    Hall Pass and Honor Roll start at a clear price. Valedictorian and Dissertation are scoped around your business, so From is the starting point. You get a real, specific number after Roll Call, not a guess.
