Two numbers. That's the whole model.
Pricing
One setup fee based on what you need. One flat monthly that covers hosting, updates, bug fixes, and a block of dev hours. No surprises.
Rural Digital
$5-10k setup. $250/month. Includes hosting, updates, bug fixes, and 2-4 dev hours.
Overage
$150/hr only when a request is larger than the included monthly block.
The three-year math
A traditional build can clear $40k before hosting, support, and change requests. Rural Digital stays predictable.
Hosting
Managed, fast, backed up nightly.
Platform updates
Security patches, dependency upgrades, schema improvements.
Bug fixes
Anything that breaks, I fix, no clock.
2-4 dev hours
Small changes, content updates, and tweaks.
Rural Digital probably is not right for you if...
You need a true e-commerce catalog, weekly feature sprints, a procurement process, or a website in 48 hours. I would rather tell you upfront than waste a call.
