What constitutes '1 hr of updates each month'?

The one-hour of updates pertains to any changes or modifications you'd like to make on your website each month. This could include updating content, adding new images, creating new pages, or making small layout changes. Don't worry, you can always ask for more hours if needed.

How does 'Done-for-you hosting' work?

We handle every aspect of hosting for you. This means we take care of setting up and managing the server where your website lives, ensuring your site remains accessible, secure, and running smoothly at all times.

What is 'on-page SEO'?

On-page SEO refers to the practice of optimizing individual web pages on your site to rank higher and gain more relevant traffic in search engines. This includes optimizing the content, the HTML source code, and using relevant keywords.

Are there any contracts?

Yes, there is a one-year contract. We understand the word 'contract' can sometimes feel intimidating, but we promise it's not as scary as it sounds! This contract is primarily in place to ensure fairness for both parties involved.

Once the initial one-year period is up, you're free to cancel the hosting agreement at any time. So, in essence, the contract is just our way of saying, "Hey, let's commit to a year of growth together." We want to be your partner!

What happens to my website if I cancel my monthly plan?

DSM Free operates on a yearly basis. If the plan is canceled, the ongoing services including hosting, updates, and support are discontinued. We can export the code and you can host it on another platform.

We considered hiring a full-time web designer, but we were having trouble finding someone with enough experience who wasn't freelance. We love working with Bridgewood Creative because of the quality and timeliness of their work.
