Everything you need to know about working with me.
You're getting a developer on retainer with enterprise-grade infrastructure included.
Think of it like having an IT department for your website — without the full-time salary. Your subscription covers hosting, security, backups, maintenance, and built-in developer hours for updates and changes.
Most importantly: you're getting direct access to me. Not a ticket system. Not a chatbot. A real person who knows your site and answers when you call.
One-time build: I design and build your website from scratch (or migrate your existing site). This is the upfront project cost.
Monthly subscription: I keep it running, secure, updated, and improving. This includes hosting, maintenance, security updates, backups, and built-in developer hours for changes.
The subscription is where the real value lives. Anyone can build a site. Keeping it performing, secure, and evolving with your business — that's the ongoing work.
vs. Agencies:
With a typical agency, your request goes through an account manager → project manager → developer (often overseas). Two weeks later, you get an invoice for what should be a 30-minute fix.
With GirschWorks, you text me directly. I'm the developer. Changes happen in 24-48 hours, not 2 weeks.
vs. Traditional Platforms (WordPress, Wix, etc.):
Most website platforms rely on plugins that can conflict, break, or create security vulnerabilities. They also require constant updates and maintenance.
Your GirschWorks site is built on modern architecture with direct API integrations — no plugins, no database vulnerabilities, no constant patching.
Yes. Upgrades happen immediately. Downgrades take effect at your next billing cycle. No penalties, no hassle.
Enterprise includes management of up to 3 websites. Additional sites are $150/month each.
If you only need 2 sites, Business Pro can handle both — contact me to discuss.
Your subscription includes time for:
Most clients never exceed their included hours. If you do, additional work is $150/hour billed in 15-minute increments — and I'll always tell you before starting billable work.
Because you're not just getting software — you're getting me.
Squarespace and Wix are cheaper upfront, but you're on your own. When something breaks at 10pm before your big launch, there's no one to call.
With GirschWorks, you have a developer who knows your site, answers the phone, and fixes problems fast. That peace of mind is worth the premium.
I zip your files, send a Google Drive link, you point your domain elsewhere. Done in 48 hours.
You keep everything you created. You'd lose the management dashboard and my ongoing support, but your site and data are yours.
No exit fees. No hostage situations. I believe quality keeps clients, not lock-in.
Month-to-month. No long-term commitment required.
I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for new clients. If you're not happy in the first month, you get a full refund.
Why? Because I'd rather earn your business than trap you with fine print.
In practice, I usually respond much faster. But these are the guarantees I commit to.
Phone, text, or email — whatever works best for you.
Enterprise clients also get access to a dedicated emergency line for after-hours issues.
Every client (Business Pro and above) gets a monthly call where I review:
You'll also receive a PDF report with the key metrics. This isn't a sales call — it's a strategy session.
$500 setup fee for new sites being migrated to my platform.
This fee is waived if you prepay annually or if you're an early adopter building with me.
