Pricing transparency
The cheap DIY builders quote you $1 for three months and then triple it. The call-center managed-SMB shops won't show you a price until you sit through a demo. We do neither — base prices are right here, annual prepay holds your rate until renewal, and any future price change gets you 30 days' notice.
Why are the prices right here?
Most call-center managed shops won't show you a price until you book a sales call, fill out a qualification form, and sit through a 45-minute pitch. We don't play that game. Book the call when you're ready to talk about your site — not because it's the only way to find out what we charge. $89 · $199 · $449. That's the whole menu.
If the first 30 days don't earn the relationship
No multi-year contract. No early-termination fee. No "buyout" clause buried on page four. If our first 30 days don't earn the relationship, you walk — and you take your content, your media, your redirects, and your domain with you. Your strategist's work product is yours, full stop.
Pricing
Cancel anytime. AI credit overages billed transparently at $0.10/credit. White-glove implementation is included in every plan.
Annual prepay perk depends on the tier: Essentials gets two months free. Managed and White-Glove get a free website build (a $3,500 / $7,500 value) instead of a cash discount — details below the cards.
Fair use, plainly: our plans are sized for a normal business website. “Unlimited” pages and posts means you won’t get nickel-and-dimed for publishing — but if a site runs past ~500 pages, 25 GB of stored assets, or unusually high traffic for its tier, we’ll reach out to right-size your plan rather than quietly absorb it or surprise you on a bill. Full detail in the Fair Use Policy.

What these plans cover: hosting, the human-led strategist time and bug-fix allowance in the plan table above, and the Workspace CMS platform itself. What they don’t cover: the actual site migration (from any other CMS, e-commerce platform, builder, or custom backend) or a brand-new semi-custom build — those are always scoped + quoted separately by a real strategist on your free 30-minute call. We’ve shipped hundreds of migrations and net-new builds; the price just isn’t baked into the monthly. Get a custom quote.
Prices in USD. Annual prepay perk varies by tier — Essentials gets two months free; Managed and White-Glove get a free semi-custom website build (5- or 10-page) in place of a cash discount. Platform support hours don’t roll over. AI Credits reset monthly and don’t roll over; overage billed at $0.10/credit (you’re notified at 80%). Managed includes 50 GB and White-Glove 200 GB of monthly bandwidth; usage above your allowance is billed at $0.50/GB or may move you to a higher tier — you’re notified at 80% and 100%. Additional seats $15/mo; additional domains $25/mo (hosted plans). “Unlimited” pages/posts and “advisory” limits are subject to our Fair Use Policy. The 99.9% uptime figure is a service target; credits, measurement, and exclusions are in our SLA. Use of the platform is subject to our Terms, Acceptable Use Policy, and Privacy Policy. We may change pricing on 30 days’ notice (annual plans keep their rate until renewal). Cancel anytime; no long-term contracts.
Annual prepay
Annual billing is how we fund the launch work without a contract. The build ($3,500 on Managed, $7,500 on White-Glove) is funded by the prepaid year, so we don’t need a clawback, an early-termination fee, or a multi-year commitment. Cancel at renewal and walk — your domain, your content, your media, and your redirects are yours to export from day one. Your live site is hosted with us while you’re a customer; on cancellation you take your content and assets and rebuild elsewhere — see What you can export. On Essentials we keep the cash discount instead, because there’s no build to give on that tier.

Not sure which plan fits? A senior 1Digital® strategist will tell you straight on the call — book your free strategy call.
Workspace CMS is open to its first 25 White-Glove Founding Members. You get the same 2-week launch and the same human-led platform — plus four bonuses we won’t offer again once the 25 seats are taken.
You keep $449/mo even after we raise prices for new customers. As long as your account stays active, the rate never moves — for as long as you run on Workspace CMS.
A hand-built quarterly PDF showing how your site ranks vs. your top 3 named competitors across Google AND ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity / Gemini — every prompt that matters in your category, scored. Built using the same internal tooling we use on our own #1-ranked properties.
A 1Digital® senior partner is on email for your first 90 days — a direct line, not a ticket queue. Not a junior account exec, not a CS rep. The senior strategist who’ll be making strategy calls on your account responds personally. Founding Members only.
We build your site free as part of the founding relationship — 10 pages, semi-custom, launched by 1Digital® strategists in two weeks. Founding Members get the build on either monthly or annual billing — no annual prepay required, unlike the standard White-Glove perk. One site, one build (not stacked on the annual perk). Cancel anytime and keep your domain, content, and redirects from day one.
And once you’re live and ranking, your launch story becomes a case study on workspacecms.ai — with your sign-off, of course. Mutual marketing, on us.
Built to evolve
The typical agency build follows the same arc: a flurry of work, a launch party, and then five years of the site quietly aging while the business moves on without it. We don’t work that way. Every Workspace CMS plan includes monthly strategist time dedicated to ongoing changes — so the site you launch this quarter doesn’t become the site you’re embarrassed of in 2028.
You come back to us each month with tweaks, updates, and improvements based on what the business is actually doing. The site is a living, breathing item — continuously updated, always current, always evolving. That keeps you fresh for Google (recency is a ranking signal) and fresh for the AI engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini pull from current pages first). It also means you never have to find time to deal with the site — because we’re always on it.
Always-current
Google rewards recency. AI engines retrieve current pages first. A stale site loses both — quietly, over months you don’t notice. Our cadence keeps the heartbeat going.
Strategist-led
Use your monthly strategist hours for the work that actually moves the needle — content updates, conversion experiments, schema changes, SEO refresh, copy nudges. You ask, we make it happen. No project quote for a phone-number change.
No deferred debt
Changes happen the week you think of them — not deferred until your next big “we should redo the site” reckoning two years from now. The site stays current with the business because the strategist is still on it.
Not a site we deliver and walk away from. A site that keeps a heartbeat — because a human-led strategist is still on it every month.
Book your free SEO strategy callPlatform Support Pack
Onboarding is included. Monthly platform support is included. Growth work is quoted separately so you decide when to push harder — and a portion of every monthly fee banks toward that growth work.
Built into every plan — no setup fee.
1 · 2 · 4 hours by plan — break-fixes, training, small tweaks.
Priced per scope when you want to push harder.
The honest answer
Two reasons. Both run monthly.
Reason 01
You’re never on your own with the site. Every plan ships with a named strategist — you’ll always know who you’re talking to and where the work stands.
Reason 02
A static site loses ground with Google + the AI engines every quarter nothing changes. The monthly cadence keeps the heartbeat going — fast pages, fresh content, working SEO.
What the monthly fee actually buys
That’s what the monthly fee buys: a site that keeps improving and a strategist on call. Not hosting. Not a help desk.
Cancel anytime. Export your content and redirects whenever you want. No intro rate that triples in month four.
Book a free 30-minute SEO strategy call. A senior 1Digital® strategist (the person who handles new business AND knows the SEO playbook) audits your site, walks through what we'd do, and quotes a 2-week launch — not a chatbot, not a script-reading junior BDR.
