LaniHQ prices on scope, responsibility, and business impact, not seats or commodity hosting rates. There are no published figures here on purpose: a number quoted before anyone understands your systems is a guess. This is how the number gets built.
WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR
Discovery, design, configuration, migration, and launch. One-time, scoped in writing before anything starts, and sized to the actual work rather than a package tier.
Monitoring, maintenance, support, reporting, and continuous improvement. Monthly, and the part that makes the system somebody’s responsibility instead of nobody’s.
Hosting, platform seats, phone, and model usage. Passed through or itemized when they vary materially, never marked up quietly inside a bundled number.
A new portal, integration, campaign, or major expansion that falls outside the managed baseline. Quoted separately so the retainer stays predictable.
These four things account for most of the difference between a small engagement and a large one. Knowing them in advance makes the conversation faster.
How much is already working. A functioning site, clean CRM, and documented process cost less to take over than a rebuild. We audit before recommending replacement: preserving what works is usually the cheaper answer.
How many systems have to talk. One website is straightforward. A website, CRM, phone, calendar, and accounting system that must stay in sync is where real engineering time goes.
How much responsibility transfers. Advice is cheap. Being accountable for uptime, response, monitoring, and recovery is not. Most of the retainer is the second thing.
How fast it has to happen. A sensible sequence over a few months costs less than compressing the same work into a few weeks. Urgency is a real cost driver, not a negotiating position.
Managed website plans are published: Site Stewardship is $149/month for an existing compatible site, and a new Managed Website is $249/month with a six-month initial term billed up front. Larger web systems and custom automation or AI work are quoted in writing after a systems review, because scope, existing systems, and how much responsibility transfers change the figure substantially.
Most engagements combine a one-time implementation fee with an ongoing monthly management retainer, plus itemized third-party costs and separately quoted custom work. Pricing is based on scope, responsibility, and business impact rather than the number of software seats.
Managed website engagements start with a six-month initial term, because the first months carry the launch work. After that it continues monthly. Accounts, domains, content, and data remain yours throughout.
That can be scoped on its own (an n8n build, an agent deployment, or VPS infrastructure) without a website engagement. It is quoted as a project with an optional management retainer if you want it monitored afterwards.
Third-party costs are passed through or itemized when they vary materially by client. You should be able to see what is a LaniHQ fee and what is a vendor cost.
You keep your domain, brand assets, approved content, customer and operational data, and your connected business accounts. Managed websites stay an actively managed service, so LaniHQ continues to manage the source, deployment, and hosting configuration rather than handing over a repository. Export rights and offboarding steps are documented in the agreement before work begins, so the boundary is explicit rather than discovered on the way out.
A systems review produces a prioritized picture of what is worth fixing and what it costs to fix it. No obligation, and no work starts without a written scope.
