After launch · One bundled plan

Stay live. Stay growing.

$199/ month · all-in

Every Archie project includes your first month free. After that, it's a single $199/mo plan that bundles site maintenance and SEO blog optimization. It's either the full plan or nothing. We don't split them apart.

We strongly recommend continuing. Regular blog content signals to Google that your site is active, which compounds your search rank month after month. The longer you stay, the higher you climb.

Common questions

Honest answers before the call.

If something here doesn't cover what you need to know, a 30-minute discovery call is the fastest way to get specifics.

Brand identity (logo, type, color), a design system sized to the project, and a custom-built website on Next.js. SEO foundation, analytics setup, and a 30-day post-launch monitoring window are included. The only things billed separately are hosting, domain, and any third-party tools (Cal.com, Resend, etc.) you choose to add.

Yes. Code, design files, brand assets, all yours on delivery. We hand off a clean Next.js repo, your Figma file, and exported brand collateral. No platform lock-in, no licensing fees, no surprises.

If we miss our committed delivery date for reasons on our side, we keep working at no additional cost. If scope changes during the project (a new page, a new feature), we quote the change in writing before starting. No invoice arrives that wasn't approved first.

Yes. If your brand is solid we'll respect it and skip the brand work, you'll get a credit toward expanded design system or extra pages. If your brand is partial, we'll refresh what needs refreshing and document it as a system you can keep using.

No. Every project includes your first month of maintenance and SEO on us, free. After that, you can continue at $199/mo flat or skip it entirely. No contract, ever. We recommend continuing because regular blog content signals to Google that your site is active, which compounds your search rank over time. The longer you stay, the higher you climb.

No, the plan is one bundled package, site maintenance plus monthly SEO blog optimization for $199/mo. We don't split them apart. The blog post is the heaviest lift and the biggest ranking driver, so it's the part that makes the plan worth it. If you only want hosting and security patches without the content engine, you're better off skipping the plan entirely.

One SEO-targeted blog post researched, written, and published on your site. On-page SEO optimization (keyword tracking, meta refreshes, schema upkeep). Site uptime and performance monitoring. Dependency updates and security patches. Small content and design tweaks. A monthly Search Console + analytics report so you can see what's working.

A freelancer ships you files; we ship you a system. Brand, design system, and code are built to be edited and extended without us. We also handle the fiddly bits, accessibility, performance budgets, SEO, analytics, that freelancers often quote as separate scope.
