Let’s face it—most small business owners don’t have time to keep up with website maintenance.

From updating plugins to fixing broken links or refreshing outdated info, maintenance can quickly become a technical burden that distracts you from your real work.

That’s why Forge Graphic Design offers done-for-you Minisites that include all the behind-the-scenes maintenance you’d normally have to manage yourself. In this post, we’ll show you exactly how we take care of your site so you never have to worry about speed, security, updates, or downtime.

What Is a Minisite?

A Minisite is a streamlined, professionally designed website tailored to small business needs. Unlike expensive agencies that want to slap you with a golden handcuff or DIY builders that leave you stuck with design decisions, Ben takes care of all that for you, and will be with you every step of the way. Here are 6 features that small business owners love about Minisites.

1. Hosting That Just Works

Every Forge Minisite is hosted on a secure, high-performance server optimized for small business websites. That means:

• Fast loading speeds for better user experience and SEO
• Free SSL certificate (so your site stays secure and shows as “https”)
• Uptime monitoring and server-side updates handled for you
• You don’t need to pick a hosting plan or set anything up—we handle it all from day one.

2. Security Monitoring & Protection

Security isn’t optional. We protect your Minisite with:

• Automated security updates
• Regular security audits and software patches

Your site is actively monitored and secured against most threats, so you can rest easy.

5. No Plugins to Manage, No Software to Update

Unlike WordPress or other DIY platforms, you don’t have to:

• Manually update plugins or themes
• Troubleshoot errors caused by software conflicts
• Deal with compatibility issues after every update

We build your Minisite on a stable, low-maintenance system that we manage entirely for you.
