Questions business owners ask

Clear answers before the work begins.

Is website hosting the whole service?

No. Hosting is only infrastructure. Stewardship also covers monitoring, updates, important customer actions, approved content changes, and periodic conversion review.

Can Vassal maintain a website it did not build?

Often, yes. The first step is a technical and access review to confirm the platform, ownership, condition, and maintainability before accepting responsibility.

Are unlimited website changes included?

No. Monthly plans define an edit allowance and response expectations. New pages, redesigns, integrations, and larger projects are scoped separately.

Who owns the website and domain?

The client will retain control of the official domain, website account, analytics, approved assets, and business profiles.
