A website is not a one time build. It is infrastructure. Every month I update it, secure it, monitor it, publish to it, and fix what you ask me to fix. You never think about it again.
Outdated WordPress installs are the number one entry point for site compromise. A broken booking button or a site that will not load costs you the reservation and the guest never tells you why.
Same scope on both properties. You get a report at the end of the month showing exactly what was done.
Every update is applied on a staging copy first, checked against your booking flow and contact forms, then pushed live. Nothing breaks silently on a Friday night.
If either site goes down, I am alerted immediately and start working the fix. You are not the one finding out from a guest.
Firewall, login protection, and continuous malware scanning. If something gets flagged, it is cleaned and closed the same day.
Guests do not only search anymore, they ask. Every post is structured with direct answer blocks and schema so Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews quote your site by name instead of a competitor. Classic SEO rankings come with it.
"Swap the hero photo on the lodge page and update the winter rates table."
Rate changes, new photos, updated availability, a typo, a new page section. Send it over and it goes live. No ticket portal, no hourly invoice for small work.
Offsite daily backups, plus a plain English health report at month end so you can see exactly what you paid for.
Two separate Stripe subscriptions, one per property, $100 CAD each per month plus GST. Start or cancel either one on its own with 30 days notice. No setup fee, no contract term.
Two subscriptions on one account. Card on file, charged the same date every month, receipt in your inbox seconds later. No invoices to chase, no reminders, nothing to remember. Update the card or cancel from any receipt link.
Maintenance keeps the asset alive. These make it produce. Add any of them to either property at any time, or drop them the same way.
Paid traffic pointed straight at your booking page, managed end to end. Google for people already searching, Meta for people who have not heard of you yet.
Management fee only. Ad spend is billed by Google or Meta directly.
Four extra articles on top of the two included, so the site publishes six a month. Same AEO structure, so Claude, ChatGPT, and Google keep pulling from you.
Works out to $50 per article, the same rate as one off commissions.
Every guest who has already stayed is your cheapest next booking. This turns that list into repeat stays that come direct instead of through a platform taking a cut.
Direct bookings keep the platform commission in your pocket.
So there is never a surprise invoice. Anything outside this scope gets quoted before any work starts.
Adding a full new page, a new booking flow, or redesigning a section is project work. Quoted separately at a client rate.
Your hosting, domain registration, and any premium plugin licenses stay in your name and are billed by those providers directly.
Ad management is available as an add on above, but the ad spend itself and any professional photo or video shoot are billed separately.
It works today because it is current. WordPress, plugins, and PHP all move. Six months without updates is how a working site becomes a broken booking button or a compromised install. This plan is the difference between a site that ages well and one that fails at the worst possible time.
Monitoring alerts me automatically. I diagnose it, restore from the most recent clean backup if needed, and get you back live. No emergency call out fee. It is covered by the plan.
Yes. 30 days notice, no term commitment, no cancellation fee. Your site, hosting, and domain remain yours in full. You keep every blog post that was published while the plan was active.
Small overruns get absorbed. I am not stopwatching a rate change. If a month turns into something substantial, like a new page build, I tell you the number before I start and you decide.
Dale, start either property or both. Coverage begins the week the subscription activates.
