Website Care Plans: Hosting, Security, Updates and Help in One Place
One monthly plan that keeps your website hosted, updated, backed up, secure and improving, with a real person to email when you need something changed.
A website care plan is what most business owners actually want when they ask for maintenance: the reassurance that the site is being looked after, without having to understand plugins, servers or SSL certificates. Everything that keeps a website healthy is bundled into one arrangement, with one person responsible and one monthly invoice.
My WordPress care plans are built in three levels so you pay for what your site needs. A simple brochure site needs safe updates, backups, security and monitoring. A busier business site benefits from managed hosting, monthly support time and speed checks. A store, membership or booking site needs more frequent backups, faster response and someone keeping an eye on SEO and conversions.
Rather than publish a price list that fits nobody exactly, I review your site first and recommend the right level. The review is free, and it often turns up a few things worth fixing whether or not you choose a plan.
