My WordPress Care Plans provide peace of mind by offering regular maintenance, security checks, and updates. You can focus on growing your business while I take care of your website’s health and performance.
Your website should be an asset, not a hassle. That’s why I’ve created WordPress Care Plans that give you peace of mind, knowing your site is regularly updated, secure, and performing at its best. Whether you’re running a simple site or a feature-rich ecommerce platform, I’ve got a plan that fits your needs—so you can focus on your business while I handle the tech.
Essentials is ideal for smaller sites, with security updates and performance checks ensuring your visitors always have a smooth experience. Growth takes care of more complex sites with extra features or pages, providing the support necessary for seamless functionality as you scale. And for high-traffic Power sites, I’ll manage everything from core updates to speed optimisation, so your online store or membership site runs like a dream.
Websites are a bit like cars. Just like your car needs regular maintenance to keep it running smoothly, so does your website. Many people choose to maintain their websites themselves, but some prefer to hand over this part of their ongoing to-do list to someone else.
My care plans are perfect for business owners who don’t have time to keep sites updated themselves, or find it stressful to be on top of all of the ever changing aspects of maintaining a website.
Websites that are built on the WordPress CMS platform, regularly require essential updates that are needed to keep your website running smoothly.
Why? Because WordPress regularly makes updates to the core CMS system. On top of this, every plugin (that adds functionality to your website), has its own plugin developers who update their own plugin functionality, and also the overall theme design needs to be updated to accommodate these core and plugin updates.
Updating WordPress keeps your website functioning as it is meant to, bug-free and allows its features to work properly. Security is at the heart of needing to keep your website up to date. Ensuring that security updates are employed can help prevent your site getting hacked. On top of all of this, keeping your site in good condition gives a better user experience and optimising and keeping site speed fast can help Google to rank you.
I always encourage my clients to know where to update the core CMS and plugins which can be done from the admin dashboard.
Sometimes, however, simply clicking to update themes, plugins or WordPress can cause your site to ‘break’. This can happen when all the different components mentioned above aren’t updated in sync with each other. For example if a WordPress core update has taken place but a plugin hasn’t been updated in time, then the part affected will stop working. Depending on which part of the system is affected, will affect different parts of your website, some minor and some major.
These are some of the main reasons people like to hand over this responsibility to someone else, knowing that they won’t end up with a ‘broken’ website on Saturday evening when they decided to make a few website changes.
Can you remember the last time you ran updates in the admin dashboard? Can you remember the last time you scanned your site for malware? Can you remember the last time you made a backup?
Consistent & regularly scheduled backups mean any “oops!” moments or restoration emergencies can be sorted in speedily.
I give your website the consistent TLC it needs to run smoothly, securing it against Internet bad guys and plugin issues.
Solid website performance takes dedication. I'm 100% committed to keeping your website speedy and running like a dream.
I'm proactive, not reactive. My security scans ensure I'm always on hand if something malicious pops up, allowing you to handle difficult conversations with confidence.
