What are website management services, and who should run your site?
One set of controls
Built on the right structure
Website management services put one team in charge of everything a business website needs after launch: hosting, security, content changes, lead forms and reporting. At BaaDigi they cost $97 to $297 a month, month to month. You choose who makes the changes. At $97 you manage the site yourself with your own Claude or ChatGPT and we handle the infrastructure and support. At $297 we manage it for you and changes go live within an hour.
Most small businesses have a host, a developer, a form plugin and an analytics account that nobody connects. Management means one name answers for all of it.

Your situation → your next step
Is website management what you actually need?
It is if the website is nobody’s job. Hosting keeps files online. Website maintenance services keep the site healthy. Management adds the decisions: what changes, who makes it, and whether the site is producing inquiries.
Changes to your site wait days because one person holds the login.
You pay a host, a developer and a plugin vendor, and none of them answers for the whole thing.
You do not know how many inquiries the site produced last month.
You want to change your own content without learning a website builder.
You want to own the site outright and be able to leave any month.
What do BaaDigi website management services cover?
Five jobs that are usually split across three vendors, plus the one most managed plans leave out: control.
Infrastructure
Hosting and security
Your site rebuilt on Next.js, hosted on Vercel, with Cloudflare in front. We run it; you never log in to a server.
Content
Changes, your way
Make them yourself with your own AI, send us one request a month, or have us make every change within the hour. Your plan decides.
Leads
Forms that reach you
Spam-filtered lead forms delivered to your inbox and logged, with the page and source each inquiry came from.
Reporting
Tracking from day one
Analytics and conversion tracking installed at launch. Add the Predictable Work Dashboard to see traffic, leads, sources and rankings in one place.
Support
One team to call
One email address for anything wrong with the site, and a named person on every request.
Ownership
It is yours
Domain in your registrar, code repository transferred to you on exit, content and lead data yours. No contract.
Two ways to run it
Should you manage the website yourself or have it managed?
Until recently, managing your own site meant learning a page builder. Now it means telling an AI what to change. That makes self-management a real option for a busy owner, and it is why we sell both.
You manage, with AI
$97 a month. You tell your own Claude or ChatGPT what to change, review a preview and approve it. Guardrails keep the AI out of the code. Best when you want changes made tonight.
You manage, with a view
$147 a month. The same control plus the Predictable Work Dashboard, and one update request a month that we handle for you.
We manage
$297 a month plus a one-time $700 setup. You email what you need; a person makes the change and it is live within one hour during business hours. Local SEO, Google Business Profile and CRM are part of this plan.
How the self-managed option stays safe: AI Website Management and using your own Claude or ChatGPT on your site.
How much do website management services cost?
Three plans. Read across the “who makes changes” column; that is the decision.
| Plan | Monthly | Setup | Who makes changes | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI Website Management | $97/month | $300 one-time | You, with your own Claude or ChatGPT | Hosting, Cloudflare, spam filtering, lead forms, analytics, version history, technical support |
| Predictable Work Website | $147/month | $500 one-time | You, plus one update request a month handled by us (up to 30 minutes) | Everything above, plus the Predictable Work Dashboard: traffic, leads, sources, rankings |
| Foundation Engine | $297/month | $700 one-time | We do. Changes go live within one hour during business hours | Done-for-you website, local SEO, Google Business Profile, CRM, dashboard |
All three are month to month and each has a one-time setup fee. At the first two levels it covers rebuilding your current site on our stack, up to 15 standard pages; stores, portals, booking systems and web applications are quoted separately. Plans that add lead generation are on the growth engines page.
What is the difference between website management and website maintenance?
Maintenance is upkeep: the site stays online, secure and backed up. Management includes maintenance and adds responsibility for what the site says and whether it works as a sales tool: content changes, lead delivery and reporting.
In practice the two overlap, and at BaaDigi the same plans cover both. If upkeep is your main concern, start with website maintenance services.
What does moving to managed service involve?
We rebuild your current site on Next.js, keeping the design and content if you like them, and connect your domain, forms, analytics and redirects. Your old site stays live until you approve the new one. Then we switch the domain and test forms, phone links and tracking on the live site.
If you choose to manage it yourself, a 30-minute call connects your AI and walks through one real change. See Next.js web design services for how we build, and live client sites for what the result looks like.
When is managed service not enough?
When the problem is not the website. A well-managed site that nobody finds still produces no calls. If you need more inquiries, the next step is visibility: local search, Google Business Profile and reviews, which begin with the Foundation Engine. If you are not sure which problem you have, start here.
