Why does my WordPress website need a Website Care Plan?

Your website requires regular maintenance to remain secure, stable and compatible with the latest versions of WordPress, plugins and themes. A Website Care Plan helps protect your website from security vulnerabilities, software conflicts and unexpected downtime while ensuring it continues to perform reliably.

What is included in a Website Care Plan?

Our Website Care Plans include ongoing WordPress Core updates, plugin updates, theme updates, website health checks, security monitoring, backups, technical support and website recovery assistance. The exact services provided depend on the Care Plan you choose.

Can you maintain a website you didn't build?

Yes. We can maintain most WordPress websites, even if they were developed by another web designer or agency. Before adding your website to one of our Website Care Plans, we'll perform an initial review to ensure it is suitable for ongoing maintenance.

If your website experiences a technical issue or security incident, we'll investigate the problem and restore your website using the available backups where possible. The level of support and response time depends on your selected Website Care Plan.

Will a Website Care Plan improve my Google rankings?

A Website Care Plan is designed to keep your website secure, updated and technically healthy.
