Built for practical progress
FORTH gives small businesses a better way to build and manage their online presence. We combine strong design, useful technology and straightforward ongoing support in one service.
Everything the website needs: professional design and build, hosting, SSL and security, backups, mobile optimisation, analytics and enquiry tracking, the FORTH client portal, four managed changes each month and a full website refresh every two years (optional, on a new 12-month minimum agreed in writing).
Yes. The standard managed website has no upfront build fee - you pay one monthly fee and FORTH takes responsibility for the website from day one.
Send a request through your client portal. We confirm the scope, build the change, and share a preview link. You approve it (or ask for one revision) and we publish. Up to four managed requests each month, and related minor edits can be grouped into one request.
We offer a full refresh of your website at no additional build charge, using current technology and design standards. Your website never quietly falls behind. The refresh is optional, and taking it starts a new 12-month minimum that you accept in writing first.
You do. Your domain, content and imagery remain yours. FORTH manages the technical side on your behalf while you stay the owner.
No. Whether you are starting from scratch or replacing an existing website, the service is the same: we build it, manage it and keep it current. If you already have one, we review what is working, keep what your customers recognise, and rebuild it properly on our platform.
Yes. Search and Leads build directly on the managed website, so the website plan is the foundation for both. Google advertising spend for Leads is paid separately.
The managed website has a 12-month minimum term, then continues month to month. That is what lets us build a professional website with no upfront cost.
Approved early customers receive $40 per month off the website component for the life of a continuous subscription. Search, Leads and Email keep their standard pricing.
