About care plans
Our WordPress maintenance plans keep your website fast, secure and up to date, handled by the team that built it. Every plan includes updates, backups, uptime monitoring and security checks, with prices from $99 a month and no long contract.
Why website care plans matter
A website is not a one-off project. Software updates, security patches, broken links, new content and slowly creeping load times all need attention. Website care plans take that work off your plate, so your site stays fast, secure and up to date while you focus on running your business.
What every plan includes
- Regular updates to your platform, theme and plugins
- Off-site backups you can restore quickly
- Uptime monitoring with alerts if the site goes down
- Security scans and quick fixes
- A monthly report in plain English
Speed checks every month
Sites slow down over time as images, plugins and scripts pile up. Our higher plans include monthly speed and Core Web Vitals checks, with fixes before small problems become big ones. See our website speed optimization service for deeper speed work.
Changes when you need them
Growth and Commerce plans include time each month for content updates, new pages or small design tweaks. Many clients use it to add blog posts, update prices or launch seasonal offers without waiting for a quote.
For WooCommerce and Shopify stores, a broken checkout costs money every hour. The Commerce plan tests checkout and payments after updates and adds more frequent backups. Learn more on our ecommerce development page.
We look after sites built on WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Webflow, Wix and Squarespace, including sites other agencies built. We start with a quick health check so we know what we are taking on.
What happens when something breaks
Sooner or later, every website has a bad day: a plugin update clashes with the theme, a form stops sending, or the host has an outage. On a care plan, you are not left searching for help. Our uptime monitoring alerts us when the site goes down, we investigate straight away and, if needed, we restore a recent backup while we fix the cause. You get a short note explaining what happened and what we changed.
Security that runs in the background
Most hacked websites are simply out of date. Care plans keep your platform, themes and plugins updated, run regular security scans and harden common weak spots such as login pages and file permissions. For WordPress sites, we test updates before applying them to avoid breaking layouts or checkouts. For hosted platforms such as Shopify, Webflow and Wix, we focus on apps, integrations, forms and content.
SEO and content support
A healthy website keeps improving. Our care plans include checks for broken links, missing pages and indexing problems in Google Search Console, so small SEO issues get fixed quickly. If you want ongoing growth, our SEO services and local SEO plans work alongside your care plan, and our blog has guides such as local SEO for small businesses if you like to do some of the work yourself.
Which plan is right for you?
- A small service site with occasional changes: our entry plan covers updates, backups, security and monitoring
- A growing business that adds pages and posts regularly: a plan with monthly content time and speed checks
- An online store: the Commerce plan, with checkout testing and more frequent backups
If you are unsure, we will look at your site and recommend a plan. Our guide to website costs also explains the ongoing costs every website owner should plan for, from hosting to updates.
Monthly reports in plain English
Every month you get a short report showing what we updated, backups taken, uptime, security scans, speed scores and any fixes we made. If we spot something that needs your attention, such as an expiring domain, an old plugin with no updates or a page that has dropped in speed, we flag it with a clear recommendation. No jargon, no padding.
Care plans for sites we did not build
Many clients come to us with sites built by another agency or a freelancer who is no longer available. We start with a health check of the site, hosting, backups and logins, fix anything urgent and then move you onto a plan. If the site has deeper problems, we will tell you honestly whether it is worth fixing or better to rebuild with a website redesign.
Hosting and domains
We can work with your existing hosting or recommend a host that suits your site and traffic. You stay the owner of your hosting account and domain, and we manage the technical side on your behalf. For stores and busy sites, good hosting makes a noticeable difference to speed, so we check it as part of the health check.
What a care plan does not include
Care plans cover the ongoing health of your website. They do not include large new features, full redesigns, new online stores or ongoing SEO campaigns, which are quoted separately. If a task falls outside your plan, we tell you before starting and give you a fixed price, so there are never surprise charges on your invoice.
Why businesses switch to a care plan
Most clients join a care plan after something goes wrong: a hacked site, a checkout that stopped working, a site that went down while nobody noticed or a developer who disappeared. A care plan costs far less than fixing these problems in a hurry, and it gives you a team that already knows your site when you need help. For stores, it also protects revenue, because problems are caught before customers notice.
How to get started
Tell us about your site and which platform it runs on. We run a quick health check, recommend a plan and take over updates, backups and monitoring within a few days.
Most sites can move onto a care plan within a week, including sites on shared hosting, managed WordPress hosts and hosted platforms such as Shopify, Webflow, Wix and Squarespace.
If you are comparing plans from different providers, check what is included each month, how quickly they respond to problems and whether you keep full ownership of your site and accounts.
No lock-in
Plans run month to month. You own your site and every login, and you can cancel any time. If you have questions, contact us or start with a free website audit.
WordPress maintenance plans compared
Essential ($99 a month) covers updates, daily backups, uptime monitoring and security scans. Growth ($249 a month) adds three hours of changes and a monthly speed report. Commerce ($449 a month) adds checkout testing and hourly backups for WooCommerce stores. You can compare these with our build packages on the pricing page.
Our website care plans also cover Shopify, Webflow and Wix sites, where the work is less about plugin updates and more about speed, content and app checks. If your site is slow today, a one-off website speed optimization first gives your care plan a clean starting point.
