MONTHLY UPDATE SERVICES
Keep your site up to date and get the peace of mind that comes with having a dedicated designer and developer on your team.
What if your hosting provider shut down tomorrow? Would you have a way to restore your site?
It’s a scene straight out of an online entrepreneur’s horror movie, right? I have seen this happen way too many times.
All that techy stuff like scheduled backups, updating WordPress and plugins is so boring that it’s probably been at the bottom of your to-do list for awhile right? I mean, it’s not something that is on fire right now so it’s not urgent.
If you fail to plan you plan to fail
Let me take care of all this stuff for you so you can get back to being your fabulous, carefree (mostly!) self.

WHY DO YOU NEED THIS?
Keep your site safe and secure from hackers (yes, really)
Wordpress releases around 25 updates to the platform each year. It is crucial to run the most recent version of WordPress in order to keep your site safe and secure. Hackers and other ne'er do wells are always trying to find ways to send you spam or place malicious code into your site. These WordPress updates help to combat that, in addition to improving performance and adding new features.
Can't I just set up an auto-update?
Yes, you can set your site to auto update to the latest version of WordPress but that is risky business. Most WordPress sites, yours included, run on a combination of plugins. Plugins are written by independent WordPress users and therefore do not always play nice with WordPress updates. If your site is set to auto-update, but your plugin author went on permanent vacation, the update could break something on your site leaving you with no way to fix it! This monthly maintenance package guards against this happening and gives you peace of mind that your site will always be up and running in tip top shape. You can focus on running your business and won’t have to drop everything to figure out why your site is returning an error at 2am.
Can't I just set up an auto-backup?
Yes, there are plugins that will backup your site automatically, but as they are automated they could fail or be deleted at any moment and you may not even notice. We will store a backup of your site on a cloud server as well as sending it to you so that if something happens to your computer or your cloud storage space, you always have a second backup. A backup is important because you and your team are going to be tinkering around in your site to create blog posts, update copy etc. and may accidentally press the red eject button! This backup ensures you will always be able to restore to a version of your site less than a month old and be up and running again in no time. Read: it will save you HOURS and DAYS of lost time should the nightmare scenario happen and your site crashes.
I want more stuff, what else you got?
We also check to make sure your site is still looking fabulous on mobile, tablet and desktop after all these changes and updates. One wrong move and your whole site could require a magnifying glass to see it on a phone! We make sure that doesn’t happen and that your audience has access to your website on the go 24/7. No automatic update/backup plugin will do THAT for you!

It’s easy! Just click here and select your plan. Once you click the “Get Started” button you’ll be taken to payment. Your payment confirmation page will contain all the next steps for you
Yep! You can cancel any time and your plan will remain active for the remainder of the 30 days in your payment period. You can also rejoin at any time.
Unlimited content updates means that you can send as many update requests directly into our support inbox and receive a quick turnaround of under 48 hours (on average).
These updates are for changes to the copy, images, and essential information on your website, without wondering if you have enough time in the budget this month. Update requests cover most tasks that can be performed in under 30 minutes that are clearly defined and can be implemented with the existing functionality of the website.
All Website Monthly Care Plans include what we consider to be essential to running a WordPress website. In addition to the above-listed features in each plan, the maintenance plan provides you with a trusted website developer who is on hand to solve issues with your website that inevitably occur, as well as handle the day-to-day maintenance and security.
We will do everything we can to work with your domain and hosting provider when necessary to perform our regular update work.
Because there are endless different hosting and domain providers out there with different features and functionality, we do not offer support with hosting and domain related issues. This plan is specially designed to keep your WordPress website running smoothly.
If you have the required licensing and keep it up to date (which we recommend!) we will be happy to update premium/paid plugins and themes for you.
If your site is currently broken, we recommend reaching out here first with a brief explanation of your issue.
This way we can work with you to provide the best possible solution for you and your website.
That is certainly the goal! Plugin fixes are included under the “Back it Up” and “Kitchen Sink” monthly plans.
There are many things that can go wrong when you update plugins. Suddenly, your contact form may stop sending emails properly, or your SSL certificate doesn’t load, or page layouts have broken.
Given that plugins are authored by 3rd party developers outside of WordPress and your theme developer, we cannot guarantee unlimited support for every theme or plugin. We will always do our best to ensure your site is functioning.
There may be times where extensive custom development work is required to restore plugin functionality after updates or to research and replace an existing plugin with a new one. When this happens, we’ll outline our recommended solutions to you in order to give you the information you need to make an informed decision of how you would like to proceed.
