Why “Website as a Service” is the Game-Changer Your Business Needs

For years, the process of getting a professional website followed a predictable, painful pattern. You’d shell out $5,000 or $10,000 upfront, wait months for the build, and then… you were on your own.

Within a year, the plugins were outdated, the content was stale, and if something broke, your developer was nowhere to be found.

At MediaSoil, we believe there’s a better way. We’ve launched our Website as a Service (WaaS) model to give businesses a high-performing digital presence without the “sticker shock” or the technical headaches.

Here is why making the switch to a WaaS model is the best move for your business in 2024.

1. Protect Your Cash Flow

The biggest barrier to a professional website is the massive upfront investment. For a growing business, tying up thousands of dollars in a single project is risky.

With our WaaS model, you trade a large capital expenditure for a predictable, low monthly fee. This keeps your cash flow liquid so you can invest in inventory, marketing, and hiring, while still enjoying a world-class website from day one.

2. A Website That Actually Stays Secure

A website isn’t a “set it and forget it” asset. It’s software. And like the apps on your phone, it needs regular updates. Traditional developers often charge extra for maintenance—or worse, they don’t do it at all.

When you partner with MediaSoil, security and maintenance are baked into the service. We handle the hosting, SSL certificates, daily backups, and software updates. You never have to worry about a “White Screen of Death” or a security breach again.

3. Unlimited Support & Updates

In the old model, if you wanted to change a photo or add a new testimonial, you’d have to wait for a quote, pay an hourly fee, and wait for a developer to find time for you.

With WaaS, your website evolves with your business. Need a text change? Want to swap out a promotion? We’re your dedicated web team. You just send us the request, and we handle the rest. It’s like having an in-house designer at a fraction of the cost.

4. No More “Technical Debt”

Most websites are “dead” the moment they launch. Technology moves fast; within two years, a “modern” site can look dated and run slowly.

Our WaaS model ensures your site stays fast, mobile-responsive, and optimized for search engines (SEO). We don’t just build you a site; we manage a high-performing asset that grows as you do.

5. Focus on What You Do Best

You started your business to serve your customers, not to become a part-time webmaster. Dealing with hosting providers, domain DNS settings, and WordPress plugins is a distraction from your real work.

MediaSoil takes the tech off your plate. We handle the digital heavy lifting so you can focus on running your business.

The Bottom Line

Traditional web design is a transaction. Website as a Service is a partnership. At MediaSoil, our success is tied to yours. We provide the design, the hosting, the security, and the support—all for one manageable monthly price.
