WordPress Care Plan

From regular updates and security maintenance to troubleshooting issues and enhancing performance, there’s a lot to take care of. That’s why we offer comprehensive WordPress Care Plans and Support services to ensure that your website runs smoothly and seamlessly.
What’s Your Time Worth?
While it’s true that you can handle WordPress updates on your own, ask yourself if you have the time and expertise to handle the potential issues that may arise. Are you able to remember to run regular backups and do you feel confident in your ability to fix problems if a plugin, theme, or WordPress update goes awry? Because, let’s face it, sometimes it does.
Managing a WordPress website involves more than just updating the core, themes, and plugins. It requires a thorough understanding of the platform, troubleshooting skills, and the ability to quickly resolve any issues that may occur during the update process. One wrong move can lead to broken functionality, security vulnerabilities, or even a complete website crash.

* These updates are important for the security of your site. Old and outdated software, plugins, and themes are the most common ways for hackers to gain access to websites.
** Should you consistently exhaust your monthly bandwidth or hit your hosting storage limits you will be contacted to updgrade your plan to another tier.
*** Upon customer request. You must submit a work order for any changes you wish to have completed during the month. If your changes exceed your allotted time additional charges will apply. Unused time does not roll over from month to month. Building new pages, SEO work, programming, graphic design work, etc. is not included. The type of tasks that would be included would be things like entering a blog post you provide to us, making minor copy changes to wording on site, replacing photographs, etc.
How Much Does Website Maintenance Cost?
Maintaining a business website is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time task. Costs can vary widely, typically ranging from $400 to $60,000 annually, influenced by the specific components and services you opt for.
Key Factors Influencing Website Maintenance Costs
Basic Components
- Domain Name: An annual renewal fee, usually around $10 to $50.
- Website Hosting: Depending on the provider and plan, this can range between $100 and $500 per year.
- SSL Certificates: Essential for site security, costing from $10 to several hundred dollars annually.
Regular Updates and SEO
- Content Updates: Regularly updating your products, services, and site content to reflect your business’s current offerings.
- SEO Refreshes: Periodically reviewing and optimizing your content for search engines to maintain or improve your ranking.
Major Revisions
- Redesigns and Rebranding: If your business undergoes a rebrand, or if you simply want a fresh look, redesign costs can be significant. These are typically one-time expenses but can have a substantial impact on your budget in the year they occur.
Technical Upkeep
- Software Updates: Ensuring your website’s CMS, plugins, and other integrations are up to date to avoid vulnerabilities and compatibility issues.
Budgeting for Maintenance
To effectively budget for website maintenance:
- Annually Renewing Costs: Start with the essentials—domain name, hosting, and SSL certificates.
- Allocate for Updates: Set aside regular funds for ongoing content and SEO updates.
- Prepare for the Unexpected: Have a financial cushion for potential redesigns or major updates.
In summary, the cost to maintain a website can vary greatly, but planning ahead and understanding the key expenses will help keep your website running smoothly and effectively.
