Managed website service

Small Business Website Management

Small business website management is a recurring, fully managed service: we build, host, secure, back up, update, and monitor your website, and we answer the phone when you need an edit or have a question. Everything technical is handled for one all-in monthly price, so your site is never another job on your list.

What managed includes

Everything your site needs, handled for you

One team owns the entire technical side of your website, so it never becomes a checklist you have to manage yourself.

Hosting

Fast, reliable hosting tuned for your site. You never shop for a host, configure a server, or get a separate hosting bill.

Security

A full suite on every plan: WAF, real-time threat monitoring with auto-ban, bot detection, AES-256-GCM encryption at rest, and strict security headers.

Backups

Automatic daily backups, so a bad edit or a bad day is a quick restore, not a rebuild.

Updates

Platform, dependency, and security updates are applied for you. Nothing drifts out of date, and nothing breaks while you're not looking.

Monitoring

We watch uptime, performance, and threats around the clock and act before you'd ever notice, so problems get fixed instead of reported by your customers.

Edits & support

Message us for content changes and most edits are same-day. You reach a real person who knows your site, not a ticket queue or a bot.

Why managed wins

Why managed beats DIY and one-off agency builds

Most small businesses fall into a gap: do-it-yourself builders that dump every technical chore on the owner, or one-time agency builds that look great at launch and quietly decay afterward. The managed model closes that gap, so you get the website without the work.

vs. DIY builders

DIY is cheap to start, but the work never ends. You become your own host, security team, and IT department. Real protection is a paid add-on you manage, and every breakage is your problem. With managed, none of that is your job.

vs. one-off agency builds

A traditional agency hands off a great site at launch, then it slowly rots. Most don't offer ongoing care, or they sell it as a separate retainer. Updates lapse, security ages, and you're stranded the day something breaks.

The managed model

We build it, then we keep it alive. The whole technical side is handled and run for one price. Your website becomes something looked after, not another job on your list and not a one-time purchase that quietly decays.

Questions

Managed website questions

A managed website service means one team handles every technical part of running your site: hosting, security, daily backups, software and security updates, uptime and threat monitoring, content edits, and ongoing support. With Hardend, all of it is included in one monthly price, so your site is never another job on your plate.
A one-time build hands you a finished site and walks away, then hosting, security, updates, and breakages become your problem. Managed website management is recurring: we build it and keep it running, secure, and current for as long as you're with us, with edits and support included.
If your website matters to how customers find and trust you, yes. The alternative is doing it yourself with a DIY builder or paying for a build that slowly decays the way one-off agency sites do. Managed gives you a professional, secure, always-current site for a predictable monthly price, without becoming your own IT department.
Hardend pricing is transparent and all-in: Starter is $100/mo + $1,000 one-time setup and Professional is $200/mo + $1,500 one-time setup. Hosting, the full security suite, backups, updates, monitoring, edits, and support are all included, with no upgrade walls or surprise fees. See our services and pricing for full details.
Yes. Unlike platform-locked services, you own your site and domain, from day one on a standard plan, or after 12 months on the Zero-Upfront plan. You can export everything and leave anytime. Managed means we run it for you, not that we trap it.
The founder, an enterprise-software engineer and U.S. Marine Corps veteran, manages your site directly. You talk to the person who built it, not a ticket queue or an AI bot, and most edits are handled the same day.
