AFTERBURN · AFTER IT'S LIVE · $50–100/mo
THE SITE STAYS
LOOKED AFTER.
Each tier carries more bandwidth than the one below it. What a site needs after it goes live is also a person: someone who makes the edits, keeps the Google listing looking open, and watches the renewals. That's the month. Month to month. Cancel by email. Stop it and the site is still yours.
THE THREE TIERS.
HOW IT RUNS.
It starts the day the site goes live
IGNITION includes the first month; TOP FUEL includes 3. After that it's billed monthly from that date, by card or bank transfer, on an invoice from Wave.
An edit is an email
Send the new hours, the new photo, the price that changed, the service you added. It's live within 2 business days, and you get a reply with the link. Two a month are in the price; unused ones don't roll over, and a bigger change gets a quote first.
The Google posts, from the $75 tier up
Twice a month, a post goes up on your Google Business Profile: a finished job, a seasonal reminder, a change in hours. You send the photo and one line about it; we write the post and tag the town. Posts are what keep a listing looking open.
Renewals, watched
The domain and the hosting renew in your name, on your card. We watch the dates and tell you before they hit, so the site doesn't go dark over a missed email from a registrar.
HOW IT ENDS.
- Cancel by email, any time. The current month isn't refunded and nothing is charged after it.
- The site stays up, in your own account. You made it; it's yours.
- We stay a member of your account so we can help later, unless you ask us to leave, in which case we do the same day.
- Come back any time. Restarting is one email; there's no setup fee, because there's no setup.
ASKED A LOT.
- DO I OWN THE FILES?
- Yes. The logo as SVG, PDF and PNG, the color and font list, and the website as the live site and its source. Handed over when the last invoice is paid.
- WHO OWNS THE DOMAIN AND THE HOSTING?
- You. The domain is registered in your name and billed to you. The site is deployed in your own free Cloudflare account, with us added as a member so we can make edits. Nothing is held hostage.
- WHAT IS AFTERBURN, AND WHAT HAPPENS IF I STOP IT?
- Hosting and upkeep for your site, in three plans. $50 a month covers hosting, the domain and two edits a month. $75 a month is the same plus more bandwidth and two Google posts. $100 a month is the $75 plan plus the most bandwidth and replies to your Google reviews. Month to month, cancel by email. Stop it and the site stays up in your own account; you just make the edits yourself.
Afterburn looks after the site. The posts are Smoke Signals and the map is Beacon, each month to month the same way. Smoke Signals already posts to Google and Beacon from $200 answers the reviews, so on either one the $50 tier here is usually all the site needs.
