Website Maintenance

Let me take care of your website so you can focus on your business

Despite its simplicity and ease of use, under the hood WordPress is a fairly sophisticated database-driven system with lots of underlying source code. The reality is that WordPress requires consistent maintenance to remain stable, secure, and in good working order, like any other software.

If your website is at the center of your business, any downtime could mean a loss of customer trust, search engine ranking, revenue. I believe in proactive support, where I actively monitor your site, prevent problems before they happen, make changes and fixes for long-term success, and act as your consultant and partner in scaling your site as your business needs change.

Most website owners don’t think about maintenance. Instead of it being viewed as a necessity, it’s often looked at as a chore. And unfortunately, it’s often a chore that never gets done. By not properly maintaining your site you expose it to a variety of potential problems, such as increasing the likelihood it’ll be hacked, increasing load speeds, and reducing your search engine rankings.

What to do now

Take a look at the FAQ’S down below

Now you’ve got an idea of the services that I provide, why don’t you get in touch with me and we can have a chat about where to go from here.

Once you sign up and provide login credentials, after I do a Website Evaluation, I’ll have your plan up and running within a week.

Although these plans are designed for sites that were built by me, I welcome clients who are looking for a long term partner with a professional and dedicated webmaster.

I first like to do a Website Evaluation to become familiar with the website, how it was built and to fix issues that I find. With the evaluation, I will perform all the “Website Updates and Monitoring” tasks and make a full backup. Most importantly I will make list of issues to fix and suggestions for improvement needed in order to proceed with the website on a monthly care plan. This Website Evaluation starts at €95 to €195 depending on the size of the website.

If you have an enhancement or task I will submit a quote for you to approve separately from your plan. I will evaluate requests, and with approval, will complete them at my current support rate of 50 Euro/hour. This may include an array of tasks such as: adding content, removing content, adding new pictures, taking down old pictures, listing items on sale, adding pages. You name it I can do it. 

My website care plans are preventative care, so I do my best to prevent anything from happening. However, in the event that your website has a major issue, I will be there by its side communicating with the web hosting company on your behalf. I do not make guarantees that your website will not be hacked, but I will do everything within my power to prevent it, as well as assist in the restoration and cleanup of the website with one of my backups.

Absolutely. I am laser-focused on you and your website, so I would be sad to see you go but I know that financial needs weigh on many decisions and don’t want to lock anyone in. Request a cancellation via email and I will immediately stop the next payment.

I’ll work with anybody regardless of their hosting provider. I realise that every website has different needs and that clients have different budgets and hosting requirements.

Yes, the standard way I bill is an invoice at the end of every month with a link to pay by credit card with sumUp. I also offer the ability the pay quarterly, bi-annually or yearly in advance by the payment option above.
