The four phases
The journey

Four phases. You handle one of them.

You answer a short questionnaire and approve the result. We do everything else — and keep doing it after launch.

Phase 1

Tell us

You answer a short questionnaire. We turn it into a plan.

Day 1

What happens

  • Check out online — it takes a few minutes
  • Answer 10 quick questions: the pages you want, sites you like, what your site should do
  • Send your logo, colors, and fonts — if you have them

Outcome

We map out your whole site and pick a proven design that fits your industry. No discovery calls. No back-and-forth before we start.

Want growth work too? Add an SEO + AI campaign from your dashboard once your site is set up — it’s optional, from $499/mo, billed separately, and has its own quick sign-off.

Phase 2

We build

We start from a design that already works — not a blank page.

Days 3–12

What happens

  • We fit a proven design to your industry
  • We write and lay out your pages from your answers
  • We connect your tools and test everything

Outcome

A professionally built site that looks great on any phone or screen — ready for your review. No mockups to approve. No calls mid-build.

How semi-custom design works → · See our demo sites, not templates →

Already have a website? By default we design something better — not a copy of what you have. Want to keep the general look of your current site instead? Just say so when you answer “sites you like” in your questionnaire. See how rebuilds work →

Phase 3

You approve

One round of changes. You say go. We put it live.

Week 2

What happens

  • Gather all your feedback and send it once
  • We make your changes and get the site ready
  • You approve — we show it live at a preview address first

Outcome

Live on your own web address. Security, Google setup, and the technical SEO details — handled for you from day one.

See what’s set up at launch →

How does my web address get connected?

You see it live at a preview address first. Your finished site goes up at a real address (like yourco.workspacecms.ai) so you can click through it before your main address switches over.

Then we send simple instructions. We email you exactly what to change wherever you bought your domain — GoDaddy, Namecheap, or anywhere else. Most people finish in under 5 minutes.

Rather not touch it? We'll do it. Send us your domain login in a support ticket and we set it up for you, free. Your site is live on your own address within minutes.

Phase 4

We run it

Unlimited updates — included. Your site stays current and you never log in.

Month 2+

What happens

  • Send us the change — new team member, new location, new hours, fresh photos. We publish it.
  • AI content drafts, your Google results, and Google's speed scores — all tracked in your dashboard
  • Need a new page? We add it using your existing design (limits vary by plan)

Outcome

A site that stays accurate, easy for Google to find, and fast — every month, without adding a single task to your plate.

What updates are included?

Included — done within your plan's turnaround

  • Text changes on any page
  • New photos and gallery updates
  • New team members, locations, hours, contact info
  • New blog posts published*
  • Service or product description edits
  • Button, form, menu, and footer updates
  • Old links pointed to the right new pages

Quoted separately, in writing

  • Brand-new page designs from scratch
  • Full redesigns or big visual overhauls
  • Custom connections to other software
  • Pages beyond your plan's page limit
  • Online stores, platform moves, or ad campaign pages

*Client-supplied posts published to your site. Posts we write for you are a Campaign add-on.

Not sure if your request is covered? Send it anyway — we'll tell you within one business day, free. See the full breakdown →

After launch

What your plan does every month

Think of it like a phone plan: the site is the phone, and the plan is the usage. Three things keep working for you in the background — every month, without you asking. And at your 24-month anniversary, you get the new phone: a free redesign. How the free redesign works →

Real number, straight from our ticket queue: over the last 90 days, 679 update requests were completed in an average of under a day.

Content Engine

AI drafts it. A human checks it. It always sounds like you.

  • Blog posts drafted by AI — you approve, we publish (Premium)
  • We write the titles and descriptions Google shows for every page
  • Fresh wording and button text as your business changes
See the AI tools included →

Update Engine

You send a ticket. We make the change. You never touch a CMS.

  • Ask for any change — text, photos, layout, a whole new section
  • Turnaround: 4 business days on Essentials, 2 business days on Growth, 12–24 hours on Premium
  • Something breaks your site? Premium gets same-day help
See what updates include →

Growth Engine

Your Google results and speed scores — tracked in your dashboard.

  • See how you show up on Google, right in your dashboard
  • Google's speed scores checked every time your site changes
  • Built so Google understands your business — the technical SEO details, handled for you

Plans

Three plans. One team behind them.

The same quality site on every plan. What changes is how fast we move and how much we do for you. Every plan includes hosting, support, and a free site build — 12-month plan, then month-to-month. How the term works →

Why subscription

WorkspaceCMS vs. the alternatives

Most agencies sell you a project, then leave you on your own. Here’s how that usually goes.

X

One-time agency project

What you get

  • Single payment upfront

The catch

  • No help after launch
  • Every update billed by the hour — it adds up fast
  • The site goes stale while competitors move ahead
  • Hosting and speed are your problem

Fine for a brochure. Bad for growth.

~

Hourly retainer

What you get

  • Flexible scope

The catch

  • You never know what the bill will be
  • Every small change gets invoiced
  • No AI tools, no automatic upkeep
  • No promised turnaround — you wait your turn

Flexible — until the invoice shows up.

W

WorkspaceCMS Subscription

What’s included

  • One flat monthly price — no surprise bills
  • A promised turnaround on every change
  • Hosting and AI content tools included
  • Built so Google understands your business — from day one
  • Your site designed and built free with any 12-month plan
  • A team that keeps improving it every month

Your website, run for you.
