Website maintenance may not be glamorous but it is essential.

Why is good website maintenance
so important?

When your site is outdated, it's slower, ranks lower in search engine results, and ultimately - visitors just stop coming.

If you want to keep your website healthy, a maintenance schedule is critical.

Which Website Care Plan is best
for your growing business?

With two levels of care to choose from, the Website Care Team and I have a plan to support you in any phase of business.

Maintenance + Updates Website Care Plan

$250/month

perfect for you if:

You want to keep your website updated with the freshest content as you add to your portfolio, develop new offers, and more.

Master Your Messaging

With the Maintenance + Updates Plan, you’ll receive our Unlimited 30-Minute Edits. These cover anything that takes 30 minutes or less to resolve and that can generally be handled within the admin panel of your WordPress site.

For example: Adding or editing content like blog posts, WooCommerce products, pages, etc., editing menus and widgets, installing and activating plugins, and much more.

Here’s a more comprehensive list of the most common things our 24/7 team does.

Content Edits:

  • Publishing blog posts and new pages from provided Word or Text documents
  • Adding/Removing/Editing text on posts, pages, products, etc.
  • Uploading provided JPG and PNG images and adding to pages
  • Cropping/Resizing images within the WP Dashboard
  • Adding provided SEO keywords, titles, snippets, etc
  • Adding/Removing/Editing menu items
  • Configuring popups, notification bars, and slide-in features based on provided text, images, and examples
  • Create image galleries
  • Edit page slugs
  • Adding/Removing/Editing users
  • Upload PDFs


Settings Adjustments:

  • Updating theme options
  • Adding redirects
  • Add/Remove/Edit form fields
  • Edit templates 
  • Installing simple plugins from the WordPress repository 


We can also take care of the following requests, but they may take a bit longer than our usual turnaround time:

  • Custom CSS / JS
  • Performing search and replaces
  • Adding code snippets through WP hooks
  • Installing more complex plugins (i.e. a caching plugin or free WooCommerce add-on)
  • Performance / Page-speed related adjustments based on GT Metrix reports
  • Minor troubleshooting involving plugin and theme compatibility
  • Installing tracking codes (i.e. Google Analytics)
  • Testing contact forms and checkout workflows
  •  
  •  

Maintenance Only Website Care Plan

$100/month

perfect for you if:

You want to make sure your website stays healthy and online but don’t expect to make updates more than once a year.

The Curated Client Experience Your Messaging

With the Maintenance Only Plan, you’ll receive our standard Website Care offerings only. 

Standard offerings include:

Daily Off-site Backups + 90 days of storage

Weekly Software Updates

Security Monitoring

Technical Support & Troubleshooting

Premium Tools

Annual Website Wellness Assessment

➤ VIP Rate for Half or Full Day Exclusives

 

When you recieve your first Website Care Invoice, you'll be asked to enter your debit or credit card information. This card will be kept on file, via our payment processor Stax, and your monthly subscription fee will be auto-charged on the 1st of each month for services performed in that month. For example, your January 1st invoice covers services for January 1-31.

Should your automatic payment fail, services will be paused until a new card is provided.

No problem! You may share one subscription plan among as many sites as needed for an additional $100/month per site. Any Exclusives will be shared across all websites based on the priorities you communicate to us.

Your Website Care Plan covers your design and development services, standard offerings, and premium tools outlined above.  There are several costs associated with maintaining a website that you’ll continue to pay directly such as hosting, additional software subscription fees, and licenses for any copyrighted photos or fonts.

Cancel any time before the 15th of the month and your cancellation will be effective on the next billing cycle.

All you need to do is send a written request via email.

Our license keys will be removed from your site and you will be responsible for purchasing your own licenses to continue using the premium tools.

We do not offer refunds or early cancellation for Website Care Plan subscription services.

Our Website Care Team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We strive to complete all tasks within 8 hours! More complex tasks may take a bit longer.

 

Racheal's office hours are 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Central Time. I always do my best to respond within 24 hours, but please feel free to add "[URGENT]" to your email subject if you have a critical need.

Here are some requests that the Unlimited 30-Minute Edits does not include. These services will count toward your monthly credit of Design & Development Hours or you may separately book an Exclusive with your VIP rate.

 

  • Creating graphics or web page design changes
  • SEO and Analytics strategy, review, or consulting
  • Writing copy for posts, pages, products, etc. 
  • Build-outs and plugin/theme development, including the build-out of new major functionality on an existing site
  • Host-related optimization
  • Interacting with third-party vendors, including the host, email provider, a plugin/theme’s support team, etc.

For 30-Minute Edits - just send an email to [email protected] with your domain name and a brief description of your request in the subject line.  For the most efficient service, follow these best practices.

All websites must be hosted with one of our preferred hosts.

We recommend WP Engine for the best performance, but you may also host your site on our shared SiteGround hosting plan.  

If your site is not already hosted on one of these sites, we'll happily help you migrate.

If you've got a WordPress website, we'd love to support you. 

 

Occasionally, depending on the health of your current site, a one-time onboarding fee of $250 may apply. I'll let you know if this applies to you when you inquire below.
