ASJ Designs maintains home service websites for $99 a month, which covers platform updates, daily backups, security and uptime monitoring, and up to one hour of change work every month. You do not log into anything. You text or email what needs to change and we make the change. Month to month, cancel whenever, no contract to sign.
THE PART NOBODY BUDGETS FOR
This plan is for the home service owner whose site is already built and already working, and who does not want to think about it again. You maintain your trucks before the transmission goes. A website is the same kind of asset. Software versions age out, contact forms quietly stop delivering email, phone browsers change how they render a page, and none of that announces itself. The owner usually finds out when a customer mentions the form never went through.
Plumbers, HVAC companies, tree services, and pest control outfits do not have a person on staff who checks any of this. That is the whole reason the plan exists. Every ASJ Designs site is built to be hands-off, so maintenance is the piece that keeps it that way after launch.
WHAT THE PLAN DOES EVERY MONTH
The site's platform, integrations, and any embedded tools get updated on our schedule, not whenever something breaks. Updates run and get checked, so a version bump never quietly takes your homepage layout apart.
A full copy of your site is stored daily. If something goes wrong, whether that's a bad edit or a hosting problem, the site gets restored from a recent backup instead of rebuilt from memory.
Your site is watched for downtime and security problems around the clock. If it goes down at 4am, we find out from the monitor, not from you the next morning after you've missed calls.
New tech on the team, a price update, a seasonal promo, a photo swap, updated hours. Send it over and we make the change. The plan includes up to one hour of change work per month.
Contact forms and tap-to-call links get tested regularly. A form that stops delivering email is the most expensive thing that can silently break on a home service site, because the lead is gone and nobody knows it.
You get a short note covering what was updated, what was checked, and anything worth flagging. No dashboard login, no jargon report you have to decode to find out whether you got anything for the $99.
NO TICKET QUEUE, NO PORTAL
Maintenance at ASJ Designs is not a separate department you get handed off to. Arlen builds the sites and Arlen makes the changes, which is why a request comes back the same way you sent it, in plain language, usually within a business day. The live client sites listed on our Web Design page are all maintained under this exact plan right now, including the ones that have been live for years.
There is no support ticket system and no account manager between you and the person doing the work. That matters more than it sounds like it should when what you need is your new Saturday hours live before the weekend.
HOW A CHANGE REQUEST ACTUALLY GOES
Send It
Text, call, or email whatever you need changed. There is no form to fill out, no ticket to open, and no character limit. A photo of a handwritten note works fine, and plenty of owners send exactly that.
We Confirm
We confirm what you asked for and tell you straight if it's bigger than the included hour. You get the number before the work starts, never on an invoice afterward.
It’s Live
The change goes live, usually within one business day for anything routine, and you get a note back saying it's done. Nothing goes on your site without you knowing about it first.
$99 A MONTH, ONE HOUR INCLUDED
ASJ Designs website maintenance costs $99 per month. That covers platform updates, daily backups, security and uptime monitoring, broken link and form checks, and up to one hour of change work per calendar month. Change work beyond that hour is billed at $75 per hour, and unused hours do not carry over to the next month. Published maintenance plans commonly run $100 to $500 a month, so $99 sits at the bottom of that range with the included hour written down instead of left vague.

FOUR THINGS WORTH KNOWING
The hour is real, and it's honest. One hour covers the normal monthly ask at a home service business: a text swap, a new photo, a price change, updated hours. If what you want is a brand new service page or a section rebuild, that's a bigger job than an hour and it gets quoted properly at $75 an hour or at the $199 page rate, whichever actually fits. We tell you which one before we start.
On our Local SEO plan, maintenance is included. Sign up for Local SEO and host your site with us, and hosting, domain, and this maintenance plan are all covered by the monthly retainer. There's no separate maintenance bill on top of it.
If we host your site, hosting and domain are included. No $65 hosting bill in the spring and no $20 domain renewal in the fall. Both are covered for as long as the plan is active, which is $85 a year you would otherwise pay on top of a maintenance plan somewhere else. If your hosting or domain is registered somewhere else, we can still maintain the site, there's just nothing for us to absorb, and we'll tell you that plainly rather than implying a discount you aren't getting.
Want to make small edits yourself? Limited Self-Edit Access is a paid add-on, $500 one time plus $19.99 a month, covered on our Web Design page. Most owners skip it and just send the request, which is why the plan is built the way it is.
