WordPress care plans

Updates, backups, security checks and developer time every month, so your WordPress site stays fast, safe and working. Pick a plan, or ask for one built around your site.

Why care matters

Your site, looked after every month

WordPress and its plugins change every few weeks. Skipped updates leave security holes open and let plugins fall out of step with each other, and rushed updates can break a site overnight. A care plan hands that job to a developer who tests every change first.

What you get

  • Updates tested on a private copy before they go live
  • Daily backups, stored off-site
  • Security scans and a monthly report
  • Developer time every month for small changes

Care plan questions

What does every plan include?

Weekly WordPress, plugin and theme updates tested on a private copy before they go live, daily off-site backups, security scans, uptime monitoring, a monthly PDF report and developer time for small changes. The plans differ in how much developer time you get, the calls, and how closely we watch the site.

What if my site gets hacked?

Every plan restores the site from a clean backup. On Advanced and Premium we also find and remove the malware, close the way in, and check the site is clean before we hand it back.

Can you stop bot and spam traffic?

Yes. Advanced and Premium block known bad bots, scrapers and spam sign-ups, which also takes load off your server. Premium adds a monthly review of bot and AI crawler traffic, so you decide which crawlers can read your content.

What if a plugin stops working?

Every plan fixes problems caused by our own updates. On Advanced and Premium we also fix plugin problems from any other cause, such as a plugin’s own update or a clash between two plugins. Fixes never use your monthly hours.

What are the monthly hours for?

They are extra time for changes you ask for. Everything else in your plan, the updates, backups, monitoring, fixes and reports, is done on top and does not use them. Use the hours for anything small that keeps the site moving: text and image changes, a new section or page, a plugin setting, a new form. Larger work is quoted separately.

What happens on the planning call?

We go through what was done that month and agree what the next month’s hours go on, so the time is spent on what matters to you.

Do you look after sites you did not build?

Yes. We review the site first so we know what we are taking on, then it joins a plan like any other.

Is there a discount for several sites?

Yes. If you have more than 10 sites, or would rather pay yearly, ask us about a package.

Do you look after custom web applications?

Yes, on a plan of its own. Every app is different, so we review it first and price the support per application: framework and package updates, backups, error monitoring and fixes.

Send us the site address and the plan you have in mind, and we take it from there.
