How the work stays moving

How SiteRival’s monthly website plan actually works

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.

Who this page is for

Owners who want a predictable monthly relationship with the website—not another launch that goes quiet after week two.

Subscription buyers

People comparing monthly website plans

You have seen “pay monthly for the site” offers. You want a straight answer on what SiteRival bundles, what you still own, and where checkout actually happens.

After launch

Teams tired of a silent handoff

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.

What the monthly model covers

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.

  • A custom site build Hosting includes a $1,295 one-time build fee. SEO + Hosting waives that fee. Either way, the published pages are yours to copy.
  • Managed hosting and security AWS delivery, SSL, firewall, backups, and monitoring. Day-to-day stack detail lives on managed website hosting.
  • Editor access and support Change pages without waiting on a developer for every typo. We stay available when something on the live site needs attention.
  • Optional monthly search work SEO + Hosting adds 30 tracked keywords, 4 blog + 4 SEO pages a month, and weekly AI-search tracking. See SEO services for contractors.

Four ways owners usually buy a site

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.

One-time agency build

You pay a project fee. Then the relationship often ends.

  • Clear scope and a launch date
  • Hosting and edits are usually extra
  • Search work is a later conversation
  • Easy to stall once the invoice is paid

DIY website builder

Low monthly cost if you will do the work yourself.

  • Fast to start, templates everywhere
  • You own the evenings, not a team
  • Exports can be incomplete
  • Leaving often means rebuilding

WordPress maintenance

A retainer to keep plugins, themes, and backups current.

  • Useful if you already live in WordPress
  • Updates and security scale with plugins
  • Content and ranking work are often extra
  • Still the right fit for some app-like sites

File ownership lives on static websites for small business. The contractor site build lives on contractor website design.

How you see the work after launch

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.

Common questions

How this page differs from pricing, what the month includes, and what you keep if you leave.

Is this the same as the Join Us pricing page?

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.

What is included in the monthly SiteRival plan?

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.

Can I cancel and keep my site?

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.

How do I see the work after launch?

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.
