What this package is
Annual is the Care package in full, paid once for the year. The scope is identical, with nothing removed and nothing added that could not honestly be promised.
You pay $1,650 once instead of $169 a month, which comes to $2,028 over a year. That saves $378, or an effective $137.50 a month, and adds two security audits a year, which are worth $258 bought separately.
The discount exists because paying once genuinely helps my cash flow, so I hand that benefit straight back rather than inflating a monthly price and pretending to discount it. For clarity, the agreement runs for one year on both the monthly and the annual plan, because I pay a full year of domain and hosting up front in the first month. It is written into the agreement before we start.

The same scope as the monthly package, with the basic package inside it
Nothing is removed here. Only the way you pay changes, plus what is added above. Every button works the same way.
This is what arrives every month. Not a note saying everything was fine, but figures you can check: how much of the month the site was online, how many backups succeeded, what was updated, what was fixed and when. And at the end, the part that matters most, what is waiting on a decision from you.
This report is live on this site and can be read in full. The figures inside belong to an invented shop.
Everything in the basic package is part of this one too
The monitoring, the alerting and the security updates from the basic package are all included, and every button works the same way.
- 02:41
Monitoring The site is polled every 60 seconds. Two consecutive failures, so this counts as a real outage rather than noise.
- 02:41
Alert to me Straight to my phone, not to a shared inbox nobody opens at two in the morning.
- 02:44
Ticket opened with the host Confirmed it was not our side but the provider's network, and raised it with the evidence attached.
- 02:54
Back to normal 13 minutes in total. You were not woken and had nothing to do.
- 09:00
Summary to you in the morning What happened, what was done, and that if it recurs next month I will bring a costed proposal to move hosts.
You were not woken, you did nothing, and you heard about it in the morning with the conclusion attached.

Everything you get
This list is the entire scope of the package. Nothing is hidden in a contract.
- The same care scope as the Care package, in full
- Paid once for the year, an effective $137.50 a month, saving 18 percent
- Two security audits a year added, worth $258 together
- Price locked for the year, no increase mid-contract
- New feature work beyond what the contract lists. No package includes development time, because development has no ceiling and I will not promise what I cannot keep. I quote before I start, never after.
- A full redesign. That is a new project, not maintenance.
- Outages at a third party, such as a bank or an email provider. I chase them and tell you what I find, but I do not control them.
- Code another developer changes during the contract. If someone else touches it, I need to review it before I keep covering it.
- A guaranteed response outside your business hours. Monitoring runs around the clock, but I only promise reply times inside working hours.
Questions about this package
Can I stop partway after paying for the year?
No. The agreement runs for one year whether you pay monthly or once a year, because I pay a full year of domain and hosting up front in the first month. If it stops partway, that cost lands on me. It is written into the agreement before we start, so it never becomes something we argue about later. At the end of the year the choice is entirely yours: renew, stop, or move to someone else. The reverse holds too. If I am the one who cannot carry on, I refund the remaining months. This clause binds me as much as it binds you.
Why as much as 18 percent?
Because paying once genuinely helps my cash flow, and I hand that benefit straight back. The monthly price of $169 is not inflated to make the discount look bigger. It is the price I actually charge.
What does it add over Care?
The care scope is identical. What is added is two security audits a year, worth $258 together, and a price locked for the year. This package is not selling more. It is saying that if you were going to stay the year anyway, this way costs less.
Will the price rise at renewal?
Not during the year you contracted. At renewal, if hosting or outside services have gone up, I tell you at least 60 days ahead, with what went up and by how much, and you decide whether to continue. Nothing renews automatically and takes your money without asking.
What if nothing happens all year? Will it feel wasted?
I understand that feeling, and the monthly report exists precisely for it. It sets out in figures what was prevented, how many updates were applied, how many backups succeeded. If after twelve of them it still does not feel worth it, I would much rather you said so plainly than renewed out of politeness.
