We care about your website and want it to stay safe, secure, and up-to-date. That requires regular monitoring and updates. If you want to do it yourself, we can show you how to do it, but many of our clients would rather we take care of it for them. Here is what’s included in our WordPress maintenance plan for a cost of $159 per month plus a $159 setup fee:
- Daily offsite backups with 90 days of storage so we can restore your website in case anything happens to your server
- Ongoing uptime monitoring so you’ll know if your website stops working, and you can notify your hosting provider (you’ll get an email if the site is “down”)
- Daily security checks to locate malware on your website and flag any other security issues
- Ongoing suspicious activity monitoring to help keep your website secure
- Daily performance checks to see how fast your website is running
- Automatic image optimization for every image you upload to your website to help optimize the performance
- Weekly software updates, including WordPress core, plugins, and themes, performed on your production (live) site
- Premium licenses for several popular plugins and themes for a total annual savings of over $700
- Termageddon license ($119/year value) so you can have a custom privacy policy, terms of service, cookie policy, and cookie consent popup to protect your website
- Weekly reports to let you know the results of updates, scans, and monitoring
If anything comes up in one of the regular checks/monitors or during updates, we will do some basic troubleshooting to pinpoint the problem, but the cost to fix those issues is usually beyond the scope of the maintenance plan and might incur an additional cost.
The maintenance plan is set up to work with any site we build. If we did not build your website, we require a Website Audit before we take you as a maintenance client. The cost for the audit is $300, and it might uncover some issues that should be addressed before we add you to our maintenance schedule. Upon completion of the audit, we will send you a detailed report and estimate for any changes we recommend.
Here are some other add-ons you might want to consider:
- Hourly backups (recommended for e-commerce websites, so you are less likely to lose orders) – $100/month
- Advanced SEO reporting – $50/month
- Updates on staging before live – $159/month
