PARTNERSHIP PLANS

Partner with Lowthian Design so you can focus on your important work.

Care plans for nonprofits and cause-driven organizations — built so finances don't get in the way of a site that actually works.

See the plans

We work with nonprofits and cause-driven organizations, and our pricing reflects that. Agency rates would lock you out — you'd end up leaning on someone internally to manage the site without the experience to protect it. These plans exist so finances don't get in the way of a website that actually works.

Website maintenance is easy to overlook until something breaks. Backups, security, updates, and monitoring aren't glamorous, but they're what keep your site running and your data safe. Every plan handles that for you so you can focus on the work that matters.

If you need something not on this page, reach out — we'll help you find a plan that fits, or put one together that does. And if cost is the concern, the client worksheet starts the conversation.

A few details

  • Support on the Basic plan covers backups and security; the other plans cover anything site-related.
  • Training, phone, and Skype support are capped at about 2 hours/month so we can stay fair to every partner.
  • These plans are built for WordPress. Shopify stores use a similar framework — get in touch for specifics.
  • Hosting isn't included. Through our partnership with GreenGeeks, we can offer discounted hosting: $5/month for nonprofits, $15/month for small businesses.
  • Prices cover plugins needed for most websites. Specialized tools for specific functionality get discussed before any charge.
  • Prices and plans can change. Existing partners get at least 3 months' notice before any change applies.
  • Backup cadence on the Basic plan differs by client type: nonprofits get monthly backups; small businesses get weekly.
