web-svc
Published monthly price Essential $320 · Business $560 · Priority $790 /month, no tax added at checkout
Included work per month 6 / 12 / 20 included developer hours (Essential / Business / Priority), logged in whole quarter-hours. Routine plan work — updates, backups, monitoring — never consumes your hours.
Custom development Included — the same hours cover small development alongside fixes and content or design edits. A single task estimated over 8 hours becomes a separately quoted Custom Offer, agreed before any work starts.
Response-time commitment Printed on every plan: 2 business days on Essential, 1 business day on Business, 4 business hours on Priority — plus 24/7 response to critical incidents on Priority.
Hosting Not included by design — Managed Hosting Care is a separate monthly service, so you pay for it only if you want it.
Sites covered One site per plan; an Additional Website add-on with a published monthly price covers one more site from the same panel.
Annual billing Published on every care plan: 10% off with annual billing — and if you leave early, months that have not started are refunded in full.
Money-back terms Written down for every service family: 100% refund before work starts on one-time services, no-cure-no-pay on Emergency Fix, unused pack hours refundable within their 90-day window minus one hour.
Where checkout happens In the client panel at app.web-svc.com, from the same price book this page renders — prepaid, with no deposit to negotiate and no invoice to chase.

Where WP Buffs may fit you better

If your workload is a steady stream of small content edits — text swaps, banners, plugin settings — their unlimited-small-edits model is built for exactly that, and Perform's base includes speed optimization, malware removal and e-commerce plugin management.

Where web-svc fits better

If a typical month includes even an hour of real development — a template fix, a custom function, an integration — written exclusions of custom work leave that job outside 'unlimited edits'. Our plans exist for that case: guaranteed developer capacity with a published response time and a balance you can watch in the panel.
