What this page is for
This page explains the operating model—not the checkout form. Some owners search for website as a service. We mean a monthly SiteRival plan that covers the site build, hosting, support, and (if you want it) ongoing search work. When you are ready to pick Hosting or SEO + Hosting, go to Join Us.
A one-time agency site, a DIY builder, and a WordPress care plan each solve a different problem. Use this page to see which one you are actually buying—then choose a plan if SiteRival fits.
Owners who want a predictable monthly relationship with the website—not another launch that goes quiet after week two.

The site shipped. Then emails slowed down. You want hosting, support, and a visible list of what happens next—not a folder of files and a wave goodbye.
SiteRival is not a template subscription. The month pays for the live site and the people who keep it moving. Dollar amounts and checkout stay on Join Us.
None of these are “wrong.” They just answer different questions. SiteRival’s monthly plan is the last column—not a clone of the first three.
You pay a project fee. Then the relationship often ends.
Low monthly cost if you will do the work yourself.
A retainer to keep plugins, themes, and backups current.
Build, host, support, and optional SEO in one relationship.
File ownership lives on static websites for small business. The contractor site build lives on contractor website design.
A monthly plan is only useful if the work does not disappear into someone’s inbox. SiteRival keeps a public explanation of that loop.
The website job board is how we keep tasks, evidence, and follow-up in one place. It is not a dashboard pitch. It is the reason the month is more than hosting plus a smile.

How this page differs from pricing, what the month includes, and what you keep if you leave.
No. This page explains how the monthly model works and how it compares to other ways of getting a site. Join Us is where you pick Hosting or SEO + Hosting and check out.
Both plans include a custom site, managed AWS hosting, support, and a visual editor. Hosting is $179 per month with a $1,295 one-time build fee. SEO + Hosting is $1,495 per month, waives the build fee, and adds the monthly search program.
Yes. Plans are month-to-month. You own the published HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and content. You can copy those files and host them elsewhere. We keep the editor, deploy tools, and hosting stack. Full ownership detail: static websites for small business.
We keep a visible job board for site work—what is queued, what shipped, and what comes next. Read the website job board for how that loop works.
If the monthly model fits, Join Us is the next step. If you still want the file-ownership story, start there first.
