Ongoing care.

The work after the work. Hosting management, security monitoring, plugin updates, daily backups, small edits — all handled monthly. The site you spent thousands building, kept fast, secure, and current. Without you ever thinking about it.

Built For

Who care plans are for.

Four kinds of site owners. If any describes you, ongoing care saves more than it costs — in time, in stress, and in the cost of recovering from neglect.

01

Post-launch sites

Just launched. The build is done. The 30-day support window's ending. Need someone to keep it running properly.

  • Recently launched site
  • Post-30-day support window
  • Want set-and-forget
02

Self-managing owners

Been running the site yourself. Updates skipped, plugins outdated, backups uncertain. Time to hand it off.

  • Site running but neglected
  • Last update 6+ months ago
  • Need professional hand-off
03

Inherited sites

Took over a site someone else built. No documentation, no maintenance history, unclear what's safe to touch.

  • Inherited from prior team
  • No knowledge transfer
  • Need an audit + plan
04

Time-poor founders

Could maintain it yourself. Don't want to. Time spent on hosting and updates is time not spent on the business.

  • $200+ /hr opportunity cost
  • Don't want to manage vendors
  • One bill, everything handled

What's Covered

Everything handled monthly.

Eight categories of work, all included on every plan. Higher tiers add more capacity and faster response — not different work types.

01 · Hosting

Premium Hosting Management

Hosting account managed. Performance optimization, server-level caching, CDN configuration, SSL renewal, DNS management.

02 · Security

24/7 Security Monitoring

Malware scanning daily. Firewall rules, brute-force protection, login throttling, file integrity monitoring. Active breach response.

03 · Updates

Plugin & Core Updates

WordPress core, themes, all plugins updated weekly on staging first, tested, then pushed live. No "auto-update broke the site" surprises.

04 · Backups

Daily Off-Site Backups

Encrypted backups every 24 hours, retained 30 days. One-click restore. Off-site so even a server fire doesn't lose your data.

05 · Speed

Performance Monitoring

Monthly PageSpeed checks. If scores drop, we investigate & fix without you asking. Caching kept clean, images optimized.

06 · Edits

Monthly Content Edits

Small edits handled — text changes, image swaps, blog posts published, new pages, contact info updates. Capacity varies by plan.

07 · Uptime

Uptime Monitoring

Site pinged every 60 seconds. If it goes down at 3am, we know before you wake up. Average uptime across all sites: 99.97%.

08 · Report

Monthly Report

Plain-English monthly report. What we did, what we found, what's coming next. No jargon, no "synergies" — just facts.

By the Numbers

180 sites cared for. Zero hacked.

0+ Sites under care From single-page brochure sites to 500-product e-commerce stores. Same standard across every plan tier.
0% Avg uptime Last 24 months across all sites. Translates to roughly 2 hours of downtime per year per site — most of that planned maintenance.
0hr Avg edit turnaround From edit request to live on site. Most edits land same-day. Urgent edits faster — Concierge plan averages 22 minutes.
0 Sites hacked under care In four years of running care plans. Active monitoring + weekly updates + locked-down configuration = boring & safe.
" Founder note · 09

Every hacked WordPress site we recover started with the same line: "I haven't updated anything in a while." Care plans aren't glamorous. They're the boring work that keeps the site you spent thousands building from becoming somebody else's malware host.

№ 01 Concierge · 4 years "
Signed up for the $200 plan after launch. Four years later we're on Concierge at $850 — and it's still the easiest invoice we pay every month. Site has never gone down. Edits happen same-day. I genuinely don't think about the website anymore.

№ 02 Care+ · E-commerce · 3 years
Three years, zero store downtime, never been hacked, every edit handled same-day. $450/month is cheaper than hiring half a dev.

FAQs

About care plans.

Six questions owners ask before signing up for ongoing care. Honest answers.

Do I have to use your hosting?
No — we work with whatever quality hosting you already have. WP Engine, Kinsta, SiteGround, Cloudways, Pressable all work fine. If you're on cheap shared hosting (Bluehost, GoDaddy), we'll recommend a migration during onboarding — but it's optional. We just need admin access and DNS control.
What about sites you didn't build?
Yes — we maintain plenty of "inherited" sites built by other agencies, freelancers, or in-house teams. Onboarding fee starts at $299 to audit, baseline, and clean up before the monthly rhythm begins. Once that's done, ongoing care is the same price as sites we built.
What counts as "edits"?
Small changes that fit within the plan's monthly hours: text updates, image swaps, new pages, blog posts published, contact info changes, hours updates, small style tweaks. Doesn't include: full new sections, new features, plugin development, design overhauls — those are separate quoted work. We tell you upfront if a request exceeds plan capacity.
What if my site gets hacked?
If you're on a care plan and the site gets hacked — we fix it free, no questions. In four years of running care plans this has happened zero times (active monitoring + weekly updates + locked-down configs = boring & safe). If you come to us with an already-hacked site needing recovery, it's $799 fixed before plan starts.
Is there a contract or commitment?
No. Month-to-month, no annual contracts, no setup fees beyond inherited-site onboarding, no cancellation fees. Cancel anytime by email. We hand off all hosting credentials, backup files, and documentation if you leave. Most clients stay 24+ months because the math works — but the door's never locked.
How do I request edits?
Email, WhatsApp, or your shared project board (Care+ and Concierge get a Notion / ClickUp board). Send the request, get an acknowledgment within hours, edit goes live within plan SLA. Bi-weekly batched processing on Care; faster on higher tiers. No tickets, no portals — just a real person handling it.
