Updates applied and checked, backups kept off the server, and the small edits you never get round to, on a site somebody else built. One person doing the work, and the same one who answers your email.
Every dashboard shows the notices. Most owners mean to get to them and do not, because updating carries a real risk of breaking the page and nobody wants to be the person who broke the site on a Tuesday afternoon.
Maintenance is not a product you buy once. It is a short list somebody has to do again and again, and the only question that matters is whether that somebody exists.
Most of the sites I take on were built by somebody who has moved on. The code is fine, the plugins are stale, and the person who used to answer does not any more.
A care plan is a routine and a pair of hands, not an open bar. Being clear about the edge of it is what keeps the price honest for everyone on one.
One price, one site, cancel whenever you like, and a normal WooCommerce shop is the same ninety-nine. It stays there because this is maintenance: the catalogue itself is separate work. If your site is already on a website plan with me, every bit of this is in it and there is nothing to add.
“Our old website was years behind the business. Daniel rebuilt it from scratch and now runs our SEO — one point of contact, and things move without chasing.”
“Daniel set up our store and SEO completely. Within 3 months we were selling consistently online — he handles everything.”
Yes, while it is a normal shop. Updates applied and checked, backups off the server, uptime watched, the checkout still taking orders after every update, and the small edits. What is not in it is the catalogue: uploading products, writing product pages or importing a feed is production work and it is priced per page. A store with memberships, several languages or a checkout somebody wrote by hand gets looked at first and quoted, because that is a different animal and pretending otherwise would be how you end up with a plan nobody can honour.
Anything that is a change rather than a build. A price, an opening time, a phone number, swapping a photo, adding a paragraph, putting up a new page now and then. If it turns into a new section or a redesign, I tell you it is a project and quote it before anything starts, so you never find out afterwards.
Usually yes, but I look first and that look costs you nothing. If it is straightforward the plan just starts. If it needs real work before a routine makes any sense, say forty plugins, a theme edited directly and no backups at all, I tell you and quote the audit at $390 before you pay anything at all.
No. It can move to my hosting or stay exactly where it is; the plan is the same price either way. Moving it is usually easier for both of us, and if your current host is the reason the site is slow, I will say that plainly rather than sell you a migration.
Any month, and nothing is chased. There is no contract, no minimum term and no renewal to catch you. The site is yours throughout, files, database and domain, and if you leave I hand over the access I hold.
Yes, the routine part of it. Updates, backups off the server, hardening and monitoring are what the monthly is for. What is separate is an incident: a site already hacked is a cleanup, and that is priced after a look because nobody can quote it blind.
I fix it, and that is the whole point of paying somebody. Updates are applied and then the pages are opened and looked at, which is where a broken layout actually shows up. If something slips through, there is a backup from that morning and it goes back.
Maintenance is the routine. This is what sits either side of it.
One call, or just the URL. I will tell you what state it is in and whether it needs anything before a plan makes sense. And if it is fine as it is, I will say that too.
