You write in a real CMS with drafts, scheduling and review, and each post publishes into your hand-coded site from a database you own. Starter is a flat $300 a month with unlimited posts.
Your posts load fast, and Siri can read them aloud. They live in a
database you own.

Starter: unlimited posts for a flat $300
Starter works on every plan, Smart Casual included. One flat rate covers
unlimited posts up to 200K monthly visitors, where Pro begins, and while
it’s active your blog never bills per page, author and category
pages included.
What Starter ships
Publishing
A real editorial CMS:
Write, edit, save, schedule and publish, with live writer-editor comments,
multi-step review and approval, and content calendars.
Author and category pages, included:
Every writer gets a byline page and every topic gets an archive that readers
and search engines can browse, and none of them adds to your monthly bill.
Custom post features:
Custom Markdown interactivity, plus integrations with Cloudinary and third-party
platforms.

Starter pricing
Flat rate
$
$300a month
Unlimited posts up to 200K monthly visitors. While Starter is active, your posts never bill per page.
Starter + Content: we write, you approve
The request we hear most is “just handle my blog.” For
$800 a month you get everything in Starter plus
four edited posts a month, up to 1,200 words each,
planned against your keyword strategy and published with schema and
internal links. You’re never left holding a folder of drafts.
You sign off on every post
You and your team review every post before it publishes.
You approve the claims, the tone and the facts, so each piece meets your standards
and your industry’s compliance bar: medical, financial, legal or otherwise.
The bundled “content included” plans you’ll see elsewhere
skip that review entirely. We built it in on purpose.

How Starter rolls out
Step 1
Set up your CMS
We set up EmDash in your own Cloudflare account, build the content models (posts, authors, categories and tags) and set up accounts and editorial roles for your team.
Step 2
Build the blog
We hand-code the blog home, post layouts, RSS feed, JSON-LD Article schema, sitemap entries, Open Graph defaults and Cloudinary image handling into your Astro site.
Step 3
Hand off the workflow
We train your team on drafts, scheduling and collaboration, hand over the SEO writing cheat sheet and walk your editors through publishing and revising.
Step 4
Publish and grow
We keep the pipeline healthy as you publish, with no post caps or traffic rungs inside Starter. Content adds four edited posts a month when you want the writing handled. When you outgrow Starter (a sustained 200K-visitor average) or need Pro's workflows, you move up without a rebuild.
This add-on, like every TechTailors add-on, begins billing once we start
implementing this add-on into your website: see pricing FAQs for details on how billing and onboarding work.

Agency retainers bundle the writing with the platform. Starter is the platform itself, a flat $300 a month; Content adds four edited posts for $800; Pro runs $2,500 to $12,500. That puts Starter and Content below typical retainers, and your content stays yours.
In 2026 TechTailors moved from one flat page rate to four self-selected service plans, and raised the rate under all of them. Here is what changed, why, and what it means if you're already a client: nothing.
