A website care plan keeps your WordPress site hosted, updated, backed up and secure every month, with edit time included. My plans start at $39 a month for hosting and $99 a month for full care. One person handles all of it, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Most small business sites don't fail all at once. They decay quietly until a customer tells you something is broken.
Out-of-date plugins are the most common way small business websites get hacked.
A contact form stops sending and you find out weeks later, from a customer who gave up.
Visitors on phones leave before it loads, and Google notices that too.
Month to month. Cancel anytime with one month's notice.

Every update runs with a fresh backup first, then I check your key pages and forms after.
Uptime monitoring alerts me if your site goes down, and I fix it.
Email me small changes and they're done within two business days. A short monthly report shows what was updated.

Month to month. One month's notice to cancel.
Book a 15-minute callNew pages or features, content writing, SEO retainers and ads. I quote those upfront so there are no surprises.
I check them first. If a site needs repairs before it can go on a plan, I'll tell you exactly what and why.
No care plan needed. Shopify handles hosting and updates. I help with Shopify changes as one-off projects.
If your site runs on WordPress and brings you customers, yes. WordPress and its plugins update constantly, and skipped updates are how most small business sites get hacked.
Only after I check it. I look at the theme, plugins and hosting first. If the site is in good shape it can go straight onto a plan. If not, I tell you what needs fixing before I can take it on.
On Care, one malware cleanup a year is included. On Care Plus, cleanups are unlimited. Daily backups mean I can restore a clean copy quickly.
No. Edit time resets each month.
Yes. Plans are month to month. Give one month's notice and you're done, no contract.
No. Shopify handles hosting and updates itself, so a care plan would charge you for work Shopify already does. I help Shopify stores with changes as one-off projects.
