The journey

Four phases. You handle one of them.

Answer a short questionnaire and approve the result. We handle the rest, before and after launch.

Phase 1

Tell us

You answer a short questionnaire. We turn it into a plan.

Day 1

What happens

  • Check out online, it takes a few minutes
  • Answer 10 quick questions: the pages you want, sites you like, what your site should do
  • Send your logo, colors, and fonts, if you have them

Outcome

We map out your whole site and pick a proven design that fits your industry. No discovery calls. No back-and-forth before we start.

Want growth work too? Add an SEO + AI campaign from your dashboard, optional, from $499/mo.

Phase 2

We build

We start from a design that already works, not a blank page.

Days 3 to 12

What happens

  • We fit a proven design to your industry
  • We write and lay out your pages from your answers
  • We connect your tools and test everything

Outcome

A professionally built site that looks great on any phone or screen, ready for your review. No mockups to approve. No calls mid-build.

Already have a website? By default we design something better, not a copy of what you have.

Phase 3

You approve

One round of changes (two on Premium). You say go. We put it live.

Week 2

What happens

  • Gather all your feedback and send it once
  • We make your changes and get the site ready
  • You approve, and we show it live at a preview address first

Outcome

Live on your own web address. Security, Google setup, and the technical SEO details, handled for you from day one.

See what’s set up at launch →

How does my web address get connected?

You see it live at a preview address first. Your finished site goes up at a real address (like yourco.workspacecms.ai) so you can click through it before your main address switches over.

Then we send simple instructions. We email you exactly what to change wherever you bought your domain: GoDaddy, Namecheap, or anywhere else. Most people finish in under 5 minutes.

Rather not touch it? We'll do it. Send us your domain login in a support ticket and we set it up for you, free. Your site is live on your own address within minutes.

Phase 4

We run it

Unlimited updates, included. Your site stays current and you never log in.

Month 2+

What happens

  • Send us the change: new team member, new location, new hours, fresh photos. We publish it.
  • AI content drafts, your Google results, and Google's speed scores, all tracked in your dashboard
  • Need a new page? We add it using your existing design (limits vary by plan)

Outcome

A site that launches accurate, easy for Google to find, and fast, with self-serve tools to keep it that way, and a support ticket away whenever you want us to make a content change.

What updates are included?

Included, done within your plan's turnaround

  • Text changes on any page

Still deciding?

Watch the three self-serve plans side by side

One walkthrough of Essentials, Growth and Premium: what each one includes, who it’s built for, and where the price difference actually goes.

  • Essentials — free site, hosting, SEO toolkit, updates made for you
  • Growth — adds online booking (Google Calendar or Calendly), reviews widget, faster changes
  • Premium — adds AI chat, AI blog automation, AI visibility tracking

Ultra is the tier above these three. It is sold through a conversation rather than a checkout page, so it is not in this video. See what Ultra adds →

Why subscription

WorkspaceCMS vs. the alternatives

Most agencies sell you a project, then leave you on your own.

X

One-time agency project

What you get

  • Single payment upfront

The catch

  • No help after launch
  • Every update billed by the hour, and it adds up fast
  • The site goes stale while competitors move ahead
  • Hosting and speed are your problem

Fine for a brochure. Bad for growth.

~

Hourly retainer

What you get

  • Flexible scope

The catch

  • You never know what the bill will be
  • Every small change gets invoiced
  • No AI tools, no automatic upkeep
  • No promised turnaround, so you wait your turn

Flexible, until the invoice shows up.

W

WorkspaceCMS Subscription

What’s included

  • One flat monthly price, no surprise bills
  • A promised turnaround on every change
  • Hosting and AI content tools included
  • Built so Google understands your business, from day one
  • Your site designed and built for free with any 12-month plan
  • Fast, responsive support when you need us

Your website, run for you.

Managed platform

When something breaks, you do not go looking for a developer

On WordPress and other open platforms, the host blames the plugin, the plugin blames the theme, and everyone tells you to hire someone. There is no one whose job it is to fix your site. Here there is exactly one, and fixing it is not a line item.

  • Nothing to update, nothing to break

    One codebase, shipped as one piece. There are no plugins to update, so the entire category of a plugin update taking your site down does not exist.

  • We hold the code, so we can fix it

    You are never told to find a developer who understands your site. The team that built it still has it, and still maintains it.

  • Break-fix is included on every plan

    Something broken gets fixed at no additional cost. Not an hourly ticket, not a support package you buy on top. It is in your plan, on Essentials as much as Premium.

  • Security patches are ours

    Platform updates, dependency updates, and security patching are handled for you, and your site is backed up continuously.

What is covered: anything that breaks on our side. The platform, the hosting, the code, the templates, security patches.

What is not: brand-new work such as a new integration, a new template, or a redesign, and outages at a vendor you own such as your registrar or your MLS feed. Those get scoped and quoted.

FAQ

How it works,
answered.

How many pages do you build for free?

Essentials: 6 pages, 3 designed for your business plus blog, terms, and privacy. Growth: 10 pages, 7 designed for your business. Premium: 15 pages, 12 designed for your business. Every page is styled to match your brand.

What's not included on Essentials?

No Google Reviews feed, no traffic dashboard, and no appointment booking. Those start on Growth.

What's included on every plan?

Hosting, support, and a free site build on every plan. It's a 12-month plan, then month-to-month. How the term works →

Does the technical foundation you build at launch need upkeep?

No. Speed, schema, and Google setup don't decay. We check Google's speed scores every time your site changes, and the technical SEO details stay handled for you. How the free redesign works →

What happens 24 months after my site goes live?

You get a free redesign, so your site stays current without any extra cost.

Can I keep the look of my current website?

Yes. By default we design something better, not a copy of what you have. If you'd rather keep the general look, just say so when you answer "sites you like" in your questionnaire. See how rebuilds work →

Where does my content and images come from?

Our AI copywriters draft your copy and we source images from our own licensed accounts by default. Prefer to write your own copy or send your own photos? Say so in your questionnaire. More on how content and images are handled →

Can I change my content or photos after launch?

Yes. Request a free edit any time to swap out text or images, or log into your dashboard and replace them yourself. It's unlimited on every plan.
