Keeping the Fox Valley Forge website fast, secure, and current — with predictable hosting and flexible, pay-as-you-grow maintenance.
A flat, predictable fee to keep the site live, fast, and secure — comparable to what you'd pay a platform like Squarespace, with a hand-built site instead of a template.
Squarespace, WordPress, and this site can all sit on fast networks — so the real edge is how the page is built. A hand-built site has no template engine, plugins, or database doing work on every visit, so it responds instantly. In a head-to-head mobile speed test, the Forge site scored higher than both a Squarespace club and a WordPress soccer site.
Measured on mobile Lighthouse: overall speed score 67 (Forge) vs 62 (a WordPress soccer site) and 57 (a Squarespace club) — with an instant 0 ms tap response vs their 120–130 ms. A snappier page also means stronger Core Web Vitals — the speed signals Google uses for search ranking.
Buy a block of hours up front. Draw them down as the season demands — new events, tryout cards, registration links, program updates. No monthly commitment, no wasted spend.
Your block carries over season to season. Unused time is never lost — draw it down whenever you need it.
A private, always-current log shows every edit by date and how many hours remain in your block — check it anytime, no waiting for a monthly report.
The larger the block, the lower the hourly rate — from $150/hr down to $75/hr. Bigger blocks stretch further.
Every tier buys the same great work — larger blocks simply earn a lower hourly rate. Most clubs your size land in the highlighted 27–50 hour range for a full year. A bigger one-time project — like building the new sponsor page — pushes toward the top of that band, so the $4,000 · 50-hour block is the best fit for the year ahead.
One-time, 2-hour working session — training, a walkthrough, or a batch of small edits. Zoom or local in-person.
The sponsor & partner page is a one-time project on top of normal upkeep. Because we lean on AI for most of the logo cleanup and content, the full build plus per-sponsor work runs roughly 20 hours. Folded in with a season of regular maintenance, the $4,000 · 50-hour block covers it comfortably — with room to spare.
See the full Sponsor Page planOver the Forge site's first four months live, updates came in 2–4 small batches a month, each tied to the club's calendar — never a big rebuild, just steady seasonal upkeep.
Those updates looked like:
