Launch day is the start, not the end.

Care plans to suit every budget. Backups, updates, security scanning and monitoring every month, with development time built into every plan, so your WordPress website keeps doing its job long after it goes live.

What a care plan covers.

A website is never really finished. Software moves on, threats change and content goes stale. A care plan takes all of that off your plate.

Website & database backup

Stored in a third-party cloud location, so if disaster strikes you can rest easy.

Virus & malware scanning

Keeps your site safe for your visitors.

Uptime monitoring

We know if your site goes down before your customers do.

WordPress core updates

Keeping your website’s engine up to date and safe.

Plugin & theme updates

All the bells and whistles up to date and working properly.

Performance monitoring

Keeping your site at its optimum speed.

Monthly reports

A monthly report on your site’s care, included with Silver and Gold.

Development time

Built into every package. Need us to change information on your site? No problem.

Why maintenance matters.

A WordPress site that’s left alone slowly falls behind. Looking after it every month pays off in five ways.

  • Security

    Up-to-date software and regular scans keep your site, and your visitors, safe.

  • Performance

    A well-kept site stays fast and runs smoothly.

  • SEO

    A fast, secure, up-to-date site gives search engines less reason to pass you by.

  • User experience

    Everything working as it should, every time someone visits.

  • Cost-effectiveness

    Proactive maintenance prevents costly emergencies or downtime.
