It renews yearly only if you confirm.

What is this, in plain English?

An annual subscription, delivered remotely and billed once a year. It covers the same monthly work as the Website Care Plan — updates, patching, daily backups, uptime monitoring and monthly reports — with 36 change hours to use across the year instead of 2 a month, plus a written annual technical health review. It renews yearly only if you confirm.

Identical in scope to the monthly Website Care Plan, with a larger and more flexible change allowance and an annual review of the site’s technical health. The annual price is set below twelve monthly payments because a committed annual engagement is easier for us to schedule — a real trade for the commitment, not a discount invented to create urgency.

The problem it solves

You want the site looked after and would rather deal with it once a year than think about it monthly.

If that does not describe you, this is probably the wrong product. Tell us and we will point you at a better fit rather than sell you the nearest one.

What you get

The concrete things that exist at the end and that you own.

  • Businesses that want a yearly technical review built in

FAQs

Why is it cheaper than twelve monthly payments?

Because a committed annual engagement is easier for us to plan around. It is a genuine trade for the commitment, not a countdown-timer discount.

What if I cancel mid-year, and what do I keep?

Cancel in writing at any time and we stop the plan. How the unused remainder of a year already paid for is treated is set out in our Refund & Cancellation Policy — read that section before you buy, because it is the annual term that makes it matter. Whatever happens, you keep the site, and we hand over backups, credentials, configuration and every report issued during the term.

Refund & cancellation

How this plan is cancelled, and what happens to money already paid.

Cooling-off before work starts
You have 7 days after ordering to cancel while work has not yet begun. Up to 25% may be retained to cover scoping and scheduling already carried out.
Cancelling this plan
It continues, period after period, until you cancel in writing. Cancel before the renewal date to stop the next period. The service runs to the end of the period you have already paid for.
Work already done
Once delivery has started, refunds are assessed against the work completed and the deliverables already handed over — the list under “what you get” above is what that assessment is made against. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days.
If we cannot deliver what is described here
You are refunded. The scope on this page is the scope we are held to, which is exactly why the exclusions above are stated before you buy rather than after.

The full terms, item type by item type, are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy — see subscriptions. How the work reaches you is covered by the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

Not sure this is the right product?

We would rather point you at the right thing than sell you the nearest one. Ask us before you buy — no obligation.
