Our services

What does your comprehensive website care include? Are there services you don't offer?

Our website care covers all the essentials to keep your site running smoothly and securely. This includes:

  • Regular WordPress updates
  • Security monitoring
  • Troubleshooting and bug fixing

We also offer optional add-on services like malware removal and Google Tag Manager setup, available to complement your chosen support plan.

We don’t provide SEO services, content writing or creation, or marketing services. Our focus is solely on expert website support and maintenance, helping you keep your site secure, up-to-date and functioning properly without any unnecessary extras.

You’ll need to manage your domain name registration and email hosting separately. For more advanced SEO or marketing strategies, we recommend working with a specialist agency so you can pair their services with our reliable technical support.

Yes, our web maintenance packages are fully compatible with WordPress sites. We offer two standard plans and one specialized WooCommerce plan. All our plans include WordPress-specific services such as:

  • Core, plugin and theme updates
  • Security monitoring
  • Regular backups

For e-commerce WordPress sites, our WooCommerce care plan provides additional support tailored to online stores.

Our WordPress support encompasses a variety of maintenance and assistance tasks. All our packages include core services such as:

  • Regular WordPress updates (core, themes and plugins)
  • 24/7 website monitoring and security
  • Malware removal and bug fixing
  • Automated backups (frequency varies by plan)
  • SSL certificate management
  • Access to our user portal and live chat

These core services don’t count against your monthly development time. Each plan includes dedicated development hours for site changes:

  • Basic and Plus plans: 30 minutes monthly
  • WooCommerce plan: 60 minutes monthly

For more extensive changes, you can purchase additional development time as needed.

Depending on your chosen plan, you may also receive extra features like Google Analytics setup, video hosting or Zapier integration. 

Unlike individual developers or agencies that often specialize in specific aspects of website maintenance or development, we offer a comprehensive solution. Our all-in-one service covers the full spectrum of website care, including:

  • Regular updates
  • Security monitoring
  • Access to additional services like Google Tag Manager setup, Zapier integrations and web development time when needed.

This means you don’t need to manage multiple providers for different aspects of your website’s upkeep. We handle everything under one roof, saving you time and potential complications. Our focus is solely on website support, maintenance and our add-on services, so you won’t be pressured or upselled into unrelated marketing services.

This focused approach allows us to deliver top-tier website maintenance while ensuring your site stays current, secure, and fully functional.

Our primary expertise lies in WordPress, but we may be able to assist with other platforms on a case-by-case basis. Before committing to a plan, please reach out to discuss your specific platform. We’ll assess whether we can provide effective support for your website’s unique setup.

Absolutely. Content updates fall under the development time included in your monthly support plan. If your update requires more time than your monthly allowance, you have two options: purchase additional development hours or wait for your time to refresh next month. For substantial updates, we may recommend buying extra hours to ensure timely completion.

While we don’t offer comprehensive speed optimization, we can address basic speed issues and implement certain plugins to enhance your site’s performance. If you’re concerned about your website’s speed, submit a request via your user portal. We’ll evaluate the situation and may suggest appropriate solutions within the scope of our service.

For plans that include hosting, we offer migration assistance to move your existing WordPress site to our managed hosting environment. We’ll manage the technical aspects to ensure a smooth transition. If you ever decide to move away from our service, we recommend coordinating with your new provider for the migration process, as they’ll be best equipped to configure your site correctly in its new home.

Security and technical aspects

How do you ensure my website's security?

Website security is a top priority for us. We employ a multi-layered approach that includes:

  • Implementing industry-leading security protocols
  • Conducting regular security audits
  • Utilizing advanced firewalls
  • Ensuring all software is up-to-date with the latest security patches

Our maintenance services include frequent security scans and data backups. In the unlikely event of an issue, we can swiftly restore your site to a secure state.

For WordPress sites, we deploy a comprehensive security strategy that encompasses:

  • Scheduled malware scans and removal
  • Implementation of robust firewall protection
  • Proactive security updates
  • Automated, secure backups

Our team continuously monitors for emerging WordPress-specific threats and takes preemptive action to safeguard your site.

Our backup schedule varies based on your chosen plan:

  • Basic plan: Weekly backups
  • Plus and WooCommerce plans: Daily backups

This approach ensures your website data is consistently protected and can be promptly restored if necessary.

We follow a careful process for all updates:

  1. Create a backup of your current site
  2. Apply updates in a staging environment
  3. Thoroughly test for any issues or conflicts
  4. If everything checks out, we apply the update to your live site
  5. Conduct post-update testing to ensure everything is functioning correctly

If we encounter any potential issues, we’ll consult with you before proceeding. Our goal is to enhance your site’s performance and security without disrupting its existing design or functionality.

While we have extensive experience with a wide range of WordPress themes and plugins, it’s impossible to be experts in every single one, especially considering how frequently new ones are released. However, our team is adept at quickly learning and adapting to different WordPress setups.

If we encounter a theme or plugin we’re not familiar with, we’ll research it thoroughly and let you know if we can effectively support it. In most cases, we can find a way to work with or around any theme or plugin to keep your site running smoothly.

We have a systematic approach to handling plugin and theme conflicts:

  1. Identify the conflict through careful testing
  2. Isolate the conflicting elements
  3. Research potential solutions or alternatives
  4. Test solutions in a staging environment
  5. Apply the fix to your live site

Our goal is always to maintain your site’s functionality while resolving any conflicts.

Absolutely. If your site has been compromised, we’ll:

  1. Isolate the site to prevent further damage
  2. Perform a thorough malware scan
  3. Remove any malicious code or files
  4. Strengthen your site’s defenses
  5. Restore your clean site from a backup if necessary
  6. Provide recommendations to prevent future incidents

Our aim is to get your secure site back online as quickly as possible.

We take data privacy extremely seriously. Our measures include:

  • Using encrypted connections for all our services
  • Limiting data access to only essential team members
  • Never sharing your information with third parties without your explicit permission
  • Regularly updating our privacy protocols to meet the latest standards

Your data’s confidentiality is paramount in all our operations.

Plans and pricing

How do I select the right plan for my business?

Consider your website’s complexity and anticipated support needs. If you’re uncertain, we recommend starting with our Basic plan and upgrading later if necessary. Need help deciding? Reach out to us with your site details, and we’ll gladly assist you in choosing the best fit.

Certainly! You have the flexibility to upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time through your user portal. We ask for 30 days’ notice for cancellations. While you can cancel anytime, remember that our 30-day money-back guarantee applies only to your first month of service.

If you use all your allocated development time and need more, you have two options:

  • Purchase a block of non-expiring development hours for use anytime
  • Wait for your time to refresh at the start of the next billing cycle

Keep in mind:

  • Unused development time doesn’t roll over to the next month
  • We’ll inform you if a requested change is likely to exceed your included time
  • Our ongoing support services (e.g., bug fixes, WordPress updates) are always available, separate from development time

While our packages are comprehensive, some services fall outside their scope. This includes:

  • Content creation
  • SEO campaigns
  • Marketing initiatives

Note that you’ll need to manage domain registration and email hosting costs separately. For in-depth SEO or marketing services, consider partnering with specialized agencies.

We don’t offer refunds for unused time. However, we do offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on the first month of any support plan. This allows you to try our service risk-free — if it’s not the right fit during your first month, we’ll refund your first month’s payment in full.

Also any purchased blocks of development hours never expire, so you can use them whenever you need, without worrying about losing unused time.

While we don’t offer specific uptime guarantees, we’re committed to maintaining high uptime for all websites under our care. Our proactive maintenance and monitoring systems help minimize downtime and allow us to swiftly address any issues that may arise.

Your satisfaction is crucial to us. If you’re unhappy with our services, we want to know so we can make it right. Here’s our approach:

  • We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on the first month of all website packages
  • If you’re not satisfied within the first 30 days, we’ll refund your payment
  • Beyond 30 days, we’re always open to feedback and will work with you to resolve issues
  • This might involve adjusting your package or finding alternative solutions to meet your needs
  • While you commit to a monthly plan, there’s no long-term contract – you can cancel anytime if you feel our service isn’t meeting your expectations. We just ask for 30 days’ notice for any cancellations.

We’re dedicated to ensuring you’re happy with our service and will do our best to address any concerns you may have.
