Website Maintenance Plan
I take on the responsibility of making sure your site is protected, maintained, backed up, and secure so you can focus on other aspects of your business.
Once a website goes live, it’s essential to maintain it for several reasons. First, It needs to be protected from potential hacks, breaches, and other threats. These threats can bring your site down and get you blacklisted from Google, which will remove you from all search results and destroy your Google ranking. Secondly, it’s also important to keep the site’s content, plugins, tools, and other areas of the site updated and optimized for security, speed, and better search (SEO) rankings.
My maintenance plan takes the stress of keeping your site up-to-date, safe, and protected off of you. I am on your side making sure that your site is continually protected, updated, maintained, backed up, and performing optimally. And when you’re on my plan, you’ll have a trusted webmaster you can reach out to at any point for help with updates, edits, additions, or any potential website issues. Trust me, this beats waiting on the phone for 30 minutes trying to speak to hosting support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any set up or cancellation fees?
Nope! There are no setup costs and should you ever need to leave the plan, there are no cancellation fees. And the door is always open should you ever leave and decide to come back to the plan.
What happens if I pass on your plan?
If you decide to decline my maintenance plan, there’s a lot that can go wrong. Here are the top reasons I recommend you make sure your website is maintained:
- The site will not be optimized which leads to poor performance, slow loading times, and a gradual loss of Google SEO rankings.
- The site’s tools, plugins, themes and WordPress itself will quickly go out of date, which is the #1 leading cause of website hacks. It’s incredibly important to keep ALL your website tools and plugins up-to-date.
- You’ll have no backups or restore points, so if the site get hacked or breached, you could lose all your content, pages and Google ranking.
- You won’t get a monthly report overviewing your site traffic, page views, etc.
- Most importantly, you won’t have me as your trusted webmaster to assist you with quick updates, tweaks, website issues, etc. Often, you’ll have to try getting a hold of your hosting company for any assistance.
Does my monthly update time roll over?
The retainer of hourly updates is just covered for that month.
What if my site gets hacked while on the plan?
If your site should get compromised while you’re on the plan, I’ll take care of cleaning the site, and getting everything squared away with Google at no extra cost to you. But have no fear; to date – I’ve had ZERO hacks or breaches with any sites on my maintenance plan.
What if I have updates that require more than 1 hour?
I’ll always try to get your updates done within 1 hour to save you some extra cost, but if you have a decent amount of updates that will require more hours, I will give you an estimate of time and do that at my affordable hourly rate.
What if I pass on the plan and my site gets hacked?
I can take care of getting the site cleaned for an initial cleanup fee of $250 then I can immediately get your site on my monthly plan to make sure it remains clean and protected from hacks.
How fast do you get to the monthly updates?
I’m pretty quick. I try to get to updates within 24-48hrs. As a monthly client, you always get top priority compared to clients who are not on the plan.
