Keep the site you have. I'll keep it up.
Upkeep is monthly help for businesses that already have a website. Your hours, Google listing and reviews stay current, and your site stays updated, backed up and usable by everyone. No new website needed.
What Upkeep is for
- Google shows the wrong hours on holidays, and customers find out at a locked door.
- Reviews sit unanswered for weeks.
- Specials, menus and events change, but the website and Google never catch up.
- Nobody has updated the site, or checked that a backup exists, in years.
- You're not sure whether someone using a screen reader could use your site at all.

Questions
Do I need a new website?
No. Upkeep works with the website you already have. Front Desk and the Accessibility Check work with almost any site, including WordPress, Squarespace, Wix and Shopify. Site Care is for sites you host yourself, like WordPress.
Do you need my passwords?
No. You add me as a manager on your Google listing, Facebook page and website, the same way you would add an employee. You can remove me at any time.
Can you guarantee my site meets the ADA?
Nobody can honestly guarantee that. I check your site against WCAG 2.2 AA, the accessibility standard most often used, tell you in plain English what to fix and in what order, and re-check it every month on Keep Accessible.
Is this the same as a Worthy care plan?
No. Care plans come with websites Worthy designs and builds, and include hours of changes every month. Upkeep is for sites built by someone else, or for businesses that want help now and a new website later.
Is there a contract?
Monthly plans run for 3 months to start, then month to month. Cancel any time after that with 30 days' notice.
How do I pay?
Monthly by card or bank transfer through Stripe. One-time checks are paid before the work starts.
What if I want a new website later?
Upkeep clients are first in line. By then I know your business, your listings and your customers, so a new site starts from a head start.
Less to keep up with.
Tell me your business and your website, and I'll reply within a day with what I'd do and what it costs.
