Mālama Consulting · Managed Sites

A quieter home for a steady website.

We rebuild, host, and care for established small websites—so an occasional update no longer means relearning an editor, repairing a mobile layout, or losing an afternoon. Email a real person; we handle the agreed work.

Keep your domain

Built with mobile devices in mind

Direct professional care

Preview before launch

Less website work on your list.

Managed Sites is not built to be the lowest-cost way to keep a website online. It is built to give you back the time and attention your website has been taking.

Instead of relearning an editor, fixing the mobile experience, or coordinating one-off help, you email us. We handle the agreed work, keep you informed, and provide a preview before anything material publishes.

Some clients may reduce their total cost once their own time and outside help are counted. Others may spend more. In both cases, the trade is clear: direct professional care and fewer website chores.

The website. The mobile experience. The loose ends.

We preserve what deserves to stay, improve what is getting in the way, and define exactly how much ongoing attention belongs in your care plan.

01Transfer & improve

Move what matters.

We preserve what is working, rebuild the agreed pages on a lighter foundation, and make them work cleanly across mobile devices, tablets, and desktop screens.

  • Approved copy, images, and visual direction
  • Responsive phone, tablet, and desktop layouts
  • Forms, page details, and essential redirects
  • Private preview, review round, and launch coordination
02Managed care

Keep it healthy.

We host the site and handle the monitoring, version history, recovery copy, and publishing safeguards named in your care plan.

  • Cloudflare hosting, global delivery, and SSL
  • Site-health monitoring and version history
  • Recovery-ready source and content copy
  • A private preview before material changes publish
03Direct attention

Ask without wrestling.

Your care plan gives you a clear email address and a bounded request allowance. Hands-on changes are scoped before work begins.

  • Authorized email request intake
  • Request allowance stated in your proposal
  • Clear scope before hands-on changes begin
  • No quiet overages or surprise publishing

A useful range before the proposal.

Most established small informational websites fall within these ranges. We review the actual site before confirming a fixed scope and price.

Initial setup

$500–$1,750

Typical one-time range

A launch-ready site can start at $500. Straightforward small-site transfers usually land toward the upper end after we review the existing site.

Managed care

$50–$150

Per month

Cloudflare hosting, automated monitoring, recovery-ready files, and a bounded email request lane. Hands-on changes are quoted and approved separately.

The $500 end is for low-touch launch setup, not a full rebuild. Larger migrations, content repair, redesigns, complex features, and domain recovery receive a separate proposal and can fall outside this range.

01

Initial setup and launch

The one-time work required to connect or move, improve, test, and launch the agreed website.

02

Ongoing care

Hosting, monitoring, request access, and the operational stewardship specifically included in your plan.

03

Optional stewardship

Registration assistance, delegated DNS stewardship, and other agreed responsibilities that make sense to place with us.

04

Additional work

Anything beyond the agreed care plan, identified and approved before it begins.

Your exact scope and price arrive before you commit.

No transfer begins until you approve the scope and price. The proposal shows what is included, what is optional, and how work beyond the care plan is handled.

Keep your registrar—or simplify it.

Your domain is your address; hosting is the website behind it. They can be managed together or separately, and we change only what is useful.

Keep what you have

Use your current registrar.

In many cases, we can connect and care for the website while your domain remains with the company you already use. We review DNS carefully so the website can move without disrupting working email or other services.

Mālama separately quotes transfer assistance and DNS stewardship. You remain the registrant and account owner. Eligibility, timing, and exact renewal cost are confirmed before any move.

A good home for a site that should feel steady.

Managed Sites works best when a trustworthy public presence matters more than operating a website editor yourself.

A strong fit

  • An existing service, portfolio, nonprofit, or informational site
  • Occasional rather than daily changes
  • A frustrating or neglected mobile experience
  • A preference for thoughtful maintenance over constant redesign

A separate proposal

  • New branding, photography, or substantial copywriting
  • Stores, payments, memberships, or booking systems
  • Databases and complex integrations
  • Frequent publishing or self-service editing

Tune in first. Then make the change.

  1. 01

    Share the current site

    Tell us what feels difficult, outdated, unreliable, or simply not worth your time anymore.

  2. 02

    We review the whole picture

    We inspect the pages, phone and tablet behavior, forms, domain setup, and recent update pattern.

  3. 03

    Receive a fixed proposal

    The setup, monthly care, request allowance, optional services, and exclusions are stated plainly.

  4. 04

    Approve a private preview

    We build behind the existing site and test common phone, tablet, and desktop sizes before launch.

  5. 05

    Email when something changes

    Once the site is live, you have one clear place to request help and one accountable team caring for the result.

Your website stays yours.

You retain ownership of your domain, content, and completed website. We keep a versioned working copy while we care for it and can provide a portable copy if the relationship ends.

Let's make the website easier to live with.

Send us the current address and tell us what you wish were simpler. We will listen first, review the site, and propose only what it needs.
