Website Care Plans

Your Website Is Vital To Your Business

You depend on your website. It is crucial to your business for generating leads, customers, and revenue. Whether you are a business owner, a brand, or an entrepreneur, your website is the face of your business, how people engage with you, and it is critical that it is available for you and your audience at all times. Our website care plans will give you peace of mind by providing backups, updates, security monitoring, and much more, so your site will be protected and run 24/7 without interruption.

Why Do I Need a Website Care Plan?

All websites and software are vulnerable. Including the software that your website is built on. Your website is vulnerable to attack by hackers. It is unfortunately the world we live in. In order to prevent attacks, it's necessary to keep your site up to date with updates, monitor your site for performance and security issues, and have an off-site supply of backups in case anything goes wrong.

Can I Do This Myself?

Keeping your website backed up, updated, and secure is time consuming. You will need to find a service to create and store your backups. Updating your site does not always go smoothly and things can go wrong if you don't know what you are doing. Some updates and plugins are not always compatible with your infrustructure or with other plugins. Your site could break with a simple update. Without the preparation and knowledge of how to avoid and quickly recover from a disaster like this, your site could be down for long periods of time while trying to recover or enlist help in doing so. And if that wasn't enough, you would have to find and pay for a third party service to make sure your website is secure and performing properly at all times. We do all of this for you and more.

*What's included in the unlimited minor content updates?
The unlimited minor content updates include any task that will take under 30 minutes to complete.
What happens if my website goes down?
If your website experiences any downtime, we will be notified right away and will make sure there are no issues. If an issue has occurred, we will make sure your site is live as soon as possible.
What happens if my website is hacked?
Because of our website care plans, you greatly reduce the chances of your website getting hacked. However, it's impossible to guarantee it will never happen. If your site is hacked, we will be there to make sure your site is restored and any malware is removed.
Do I still need a care plan if I rarely ever make changes to my site?
Absolutely! While daily backups may not be crucial if no changes to your site are made very often, you still need updates to your core, theme, plugins, etc. Updates are often available on weekly basis. The longer these available updates go without being updated to their latest versions, the more at risk your site is to attackers. So even if your website doesn't change often, continual care is necessary.
Is there a contract or cancellation policy?
We provide website care for your website for as long as you like. There are no contracts, no minimum requirements, and no cancellation fees.
Do you do automated updates?
No. We will never set your website to automatically update. Every update is done manually and your website is checked to ensure the update was successful and did not cause any errors or issues. This is a critical step when updating your websites core, theme, or plugins.
