Plan details

How to read the plan allowances

These explanations expand on the prices and allowances shown in each plan. Your written scope and the Service Plan Terms remain the agreements that define the work.

Yearly subscriptions are discounted by 2 months: pay for 10 months and receive 12 months of monthly care, unless a written scope says otherwise. Setup fees, recurring add-on units, AI Packs, priority requests, and consulting are billed separately. Queue capacity resets monthly and does not roll over. One unused call credit may roll over one month, but call credits do not accumulate beyond one rollover. Included calls are for planning and advisory guidance, not unlimited implementation. AI Packs cost $25 for 25 prepaid credits and expire 12 months after purchase without refund. Prices in USD, exclusive of applicable taxes.

How it works

What the plan covers and what is billed separately

Monthly care covers ongoing website maintenance, with the change time and call credits listed for your plan. Setup, larger projects, recurring add-on units, prepaid AI Packs, priority work, and standalone consulting have separate scopes and charges.

Preferred customer rate

Active vaMicrosites customers receive a 25% preferred-rate discount on eligible website-support hours: $120/hr instead of the standard $160/hr. The preferred rate applies only to eligible website and vaMicrosites support. It does not automatically apply to all consulting, AI, software, cloud, partner, emergency, or written-scope project work.

Launch and setup

Setup fees are starting prices based on preferred-rate setup hours. Final scope depends on page count, content readiness, languages, integrations, private access, document search, revision cycles, and timeline.

Monthly change queue

Active customers can submit eligible website changes through the customer portal at any time. We complete them in priority order using the plan’s included monthly change time. Unfinished requests stay in the queue, but unused minutes do not carry over when the allowance resets each month. Larger work may require priority handling or a written scope.

What queue work does not cover

Queue work does not automatically include new full pages, major redesigns, integrations, migrations, private-access architecture, document-search setup, custom workflows, large content writing, or non-vaMicrosites consulting. Work beyond the included capacity, or work outside the queue’s scope, may require priority handling or a written scope.

Monthly call credits

Starter, Plus, Growth, and Scale include call time you can request for planning, review, prioritization, and advice. We schedule these calls by request, and they do not cover implementation. One unused call credit can carry over to the following month; credits cannot accumulate beyond that one rollover. Essential has no call credit.

Plus document-search scope

Approved-document search and private resources are primarily Growth and Scale capabilities. Plus can add a small approved-document search setup only by written scope when the content, risk, and support expectations are clear.

Priority request options

Need it sooner?

If a website change needs attention sooner, you can request priority handling, subject to availability. The requested time is not a delivery guarantee, and paid priority work is billed separately from your plan’s change time unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Required for larger, risky, unclear, specialized, or time-sensitive work.

Priority requests depend on availability and do not guarantee immediate, same-day, next-day, or emergency service unless explicitly agreed in writing. If we cannot safely meet the requested time, we may offer a slower or lower-cost option, recommend a written scope, or return the request to the monthly queue. Paid priority work generally does not use your monthly change time unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Services

When the website needs more

When you need another page, help with content, document search, an integration, or AI features, we can agree on the work and its cost separately.

Campaign or landing page A focused page for launches, offers, events, recruiting, or seasonal promotions.
Content or translation help Help writing additional pages, preparing media, or editing existing content, with translation reviewed by people.
Document search setup Approved documents organized so customers or staff can find useful answers.
Technology planning and custom work Get help with launch choices, integrations, workflows, content direction, or the next useful technology improvement. New customers start with one consulting hour at no cost.
Add-on units and AI Packs Recurring add-on units cover approved extra features, plugins, integrations, or additional infrastructure. AI Packs cost $25 for 25 prepaid credits for approved AI features.
Standalone technology consulting For business software, cloud services, data, integrations, workflows, or AI outside the managed website plan, see the separate $160/hr section below.
Separate consulting

Standalone technology help is $160/hr

Technology work outside a vaMicrosites plan is defined in writing at $160/hr. This can cover business software, cloud services, data, integrations, workflows, and practical AI. Active vaMicrosites customers receive the $120/hr preferred rate for eligible website and vaMicrosites support.

Automation, AI, and focused software tools

Improve one workflow, build a focused software tool, or use AI to help people with repetitive work or large amounts of information.

Business software, cloud services, and connected tools

Choose business software, review Azure-based cloud options, connect tools, and plan a rollout your team can manage.

Moving data

Plan and carry out a defined data migration from a local system to the cloud. Moving entire applications, servers, or technology environments is outside this offer.

Technology troubleshooting and planning

Untangle a software problem, compare options, clarify a workflow, or define the next practical technology improvement.
