ABOUT

Upkeep Sites is one person in Monroeville who builds small business websites and then actually maintains them. No account managers, no ticket queue, no agency retainer with a four month backlog.

I build websites, and I live here. Which means I keep running into the same story: a local business pays someone to build them a site, it looks good for about a year, and then it quietly rots. The hours are wrong. The holiday notice is from two Christmases ago. A photo is of a van they sold. The contact form stopped emailing anyone and nobody noticed for months.

It's never that the owner doesn't care. It's that keeping a website current is a real job, and it lands on the person with the least time to do it — usually the owner, usually at eleven at night, usually after a fight with a password reset.

So that's what I sell. Not a website — anyone can sell you one of those. The part afterwards, where it stays right, month after month, without you thinking about it once.

You will never get an invoice line item you have to look up, or a sentence about responsive frameworks. You tell me what you want in the words you'd use with a customer, and that's enough.

Your domain is registered in your name, not mine. If you ever want to leave, I'll help you point it somewhere else and wish you well. A business that has to trap customers isn't one I want to run.

Email goes to me. You'll get a reply from a person who knows your site, usually the same day, and the change will already be done or on its way.

Send me the address of your current site. I'll rebuild it and send back a link, at no cost, with nothing to sign.
