How to choose a care plan
Essential Care
For sites that need the basics handled every month: core, theme and plugin updates with a backup first, weekly offsite backups, uptime monitoring, a monthly malware scan and 30 minutes of content edits. Malware cleanup is billed separately.
Growth Care
For sites that generate leads or sales every day: weekly updates tested on a staging copy, daily offsite backups, weekly malware scans, one malware cleanup per quarter, 2 hours of content edits and a quarterly speed check.
Each care plan covers one WordPress site, and unused edit time does not roll over. Managed hosting is optional and can be added to either plan. If your site has already been hacked, start with Hacked Site Cleanup, then choose a care plan to keep it maintained. For background on keeping a site in good shape, the official WordPress documentation is a useful reference.
WordPress maintenance pricing questions
Can you maintain a site you did not build?
Yes. We start with a quick review of the site and its plugins. If something needs fixing before regular care can begin, we quote it first.
What if my site is hacked right now?
Choose Hacked Site Cleanup or call us. The starting price covers one WordPress site; heavily damaged sites are quoted before work starts.
What is included in WordPress maintenance pricing?
Each care plan card above lists exactly what is included: updates, offsite backups, monitoring and a set amount of content edits, with the monthly limits shown on the plan. Work outside those limits is quoted before we start.
Do I have to host my site with you?
No. Care plans work with most WordPress hosts. Managed hosting is optional and can be added to either care plan if you would rather we look after the server as well.
Can I cancel a care plan?
Care plans are monthly services covered by our service terms, which explain billing and the 30-day notice for cancelling.
What is the difference between Essential Care and Growth Care?
Essential Care is for sites that need the basics handled every month, while Growth Care is for sites that generate leads or sales every day. Growth Care adds updates tested on a staging copy, daily rather than weekly backups, weekly malware scans, one malware cleanup per quarter, more content edit time and a quarterly speed check. Both are monthly plans with no setup fee.
Is malware cleanup included in a care plan?
It depends on the plan. Essential Care includes a monthly malware scan, but malware cleanup is billed separately. Growth Care includes weekly malware scans and one malware cleanup per quarter. If your site has already been hacked before you sign up, start with Hacked Site Cleanup and then choose a care plan to keep the site maintained afterwards.
How often are backups taken on each care plan?
Essential Care includes weekly offsite backups, and Growth Care includes daily offsite backups. On Essential Care, a backup is also taken before core, theme and plugin updates are applied. Keeping backups offsite means a copy of your site is stored away from the server it runs on, which matters if that server has a problem.
How are WordPress updates handled on the care plans?
On Essential Care, core, theme and plugin updates are applied with a backup taken first. On Growth Care, updates are done weekly and tested on a staging copy of the site before they go live. Growth Care is the plan meant for sites that generate leads or sales every day. You can read more about our WordPress maintenance and security service.
Does unused content edit time roll over to the next month?
No. Unused edit time does not roll over. Essential Care includes 30 minutes of content edits each month and Growth Care includes 2 hours. If you regularly need more changes than your plan allows, Growth Care gives you more time, and work outside a plan’s monthly limits is quoted before we start.
Is there a setup fee for WordPress maintenance?
No. Care plans have no setup fee. They are monthly services, and one-time fees and monthly services are shown and billed separately, with monthly services not charged at checkout. Packages with an approved fixed price can be bought online, and work outside them is priced by a written custom quote, such as a heavily damaged hacked site.
Do I need a separate care plan for each website?
Yes. Each care plan covers one WordPress site, and you choose one care plan per site. If you run more than one WordPress site, each one needs its own plan. Managed hosting is optional and can be added to either plan for each site, if you would rather we look after the server too.
Which care plan suits a business whose website brings in service calls?
Growth Care is the plan described for sites that generate leads or sales every day. Its staging-tested updates, daily backups, weekly malware scans and quarterly speed check are aimed at keeping a working site online and quick. For trades that rely on inquiries, such as plumbing, our page on marketing for plumbing companies covers the wider picture.
What does uptime monitoring do on Essential Care?
Uptime monitoring checks that your site is online, so a problem can be spotted rather than left for a customer to find. It is included in Essential Care along with updates, weekly offsite backups, a monthly malware scan and 30 minutes of content edits. Essential Care is the plan for sites that need the basics handled every month.
Do you maintain WordPress sites for businesses across metro Atlanta?
Yes. We are based in Atlanta and serve businesses throughout the metro area remotely and by appointment. Care plans work with most WordPress hosts, so your site does not need to move. If your current site needs replacing rather than maintaining, see our web design for Douglasville businesses as an example of how we plan a new site for one community.
