We hear this from WordPress site owners more than you would think.

We got hacked and had no idea until customers told us.

Outdated plugins and WordPress core are the number one entry point for attackers. Once a site is compromised, recovery is expensive and trust is hard to rebuild.

43% of cyberattacks target small businesses

Our site is slow but we do not know why or how to fix it.

A slow site loses customers before they even see your offer. Performance degrades quietly as plugins accumulate and images go unoptimised.

We updated a plugin and something broke. No one to call.

Plugin conflicts happen. Without someone watching your site, a broken update can sit live for days before anyone notices.

We know the site needs attention. We just never get to it.

You are running a business. WordPress maintenance is always the thing that gets pushed to next week. Until something goes wrong.

These are not edge cases. They are the predictable outcome of leaving a WordPress site unmanaged. A care plan removes the risk before it becomes a problem.

What every plan includes

All of this comes with every plan, from $150 a month. The higher plans add our hands-on work on top.

AI malware scanning

Your site files are scanned for malware, and we hear about anything suspicious the moment it turns up.

Firewall and geo-blocking

Bad traffic is stopped before it reaches your site, including whole countries you never sell to.

Vulnerability alerts and virtual patching

When a plugin you run has a known security hole, the attack is blocked at the firewall until the plugin is updated.

Daily backups, kept 90 days

Stored away from your server. If your host keeps its own backups, ours are an extra copy somewhere else.

7-day activity log

Who logged in and what changed on the site over the last week.

Visual change checks

Five key pages are checked for changes in how they look, so a broken layout after an update gets noticed.

Staging copy on request

A private test copy of your site, for trying a change before it goes anywhere near the live one.

Monthly report

A plain summary of what was found, what was done and what we recommend for the month ahead.

Every plan is month to month with no lock-in contract. Cancel with 30 days' notice.

Monthly reports, not mystery

Each month you get a short summary of what was done, what was found, and what is recommended. No jargon, no guessing.

Problems caught before they cost you

Your site is watched every day. On the plans where we make the fixes, problems that would have become expensive repairs get handled quietly in the background.

One email per request

Send each request to one address with the page and a clear description of the change. The more detail you include, the faster it gets done.

Common questions

Things people ask when they are deciding whether a care plan is right for them.

What is the difference between the $150 and $295 plans?
On $150, we watch the site and tell your team or your developer exactly what needs fixing. On $295, we make the fixes and updates ourselves, test your forms, and check more pages for visual changes, on mobile as well as desktop.
What happens if something breaks on my site?
We get the alert and look into it. On the $295 and $595 plans we fix it and keep you posted. On $150 we tell your team what broke and what to do about it.
Do you look after sites you did not build?
Yes. We start with the security check, so we both know what we are taking on before a plan begins. If the site needs more than routine care to get healthy, we quote that work separately first.
Does the security check look at every page?
No. It covers your plugins, theme and WordPress itself, malware, admin accounts, PHP errors, speed, backups and firewall. To have every page checked for things that look broken on desktop, tablet and mobile, add the visual breakage check.
What do content edits cover?
On the $595 plan, send changes by email or mark them up on the page with our visual feedback tool. That covers text and image changes, menus, popups, galleries, PDFs and SEO details like page titles. New pages, layout work and technical jobs like redirects, forms or custom code are quoted before we start.
Do I have to move my hosting?
No. Your hosting stays where it is. Our backups are an extra copy kept away from your server.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Every plan is month to month. You can cancel at any time with 30 days' notice. We would rather earn your continued business through results.
