WordPress Maintenance Plans
Websites aren’t a “set it and forget it” investment.

Imagine logging on to your site to learn a plugin auto updated and now your site is one hot mess. It happens, and sometimes, it goes unnoticed for a while making it a hard problem to solve.

This is just one example of what can happen with WordPress sites and the reason you can not leave your site unattended for long. Your website is a valuable marketing tool, and it’s the face of your business. It needs to represent your brand well.

Managing a business takes focus and time. Your to-do list usually doesn’t include website troubleshooting.

Does this sound familiar?

Updates That Break Things

WordPress, plugins, and themes are constantly updating. One small incompatibility can suddenly break layouts, forms, or key features, often without warning.

Security Risks & Hacks

Outdated plugins and themes are one of the biggest entry points for malware and hacks. And most business owners don’t even realize they’re vulnerable until there’s a problem.

“I Don’t Have Time for This”

Managing plugins, backups, hosting issues, and random errors eats up time and mental energy. It’s distracting and stressful when your focus should be on your customers’ needs.

STOP DEALING WITH WORDPRESS CHALLENGES ON YOUR OWN.

A website care plan can be your solution if managing your WordPress website on your own is too much.

questions you may have

Why does my website need maintenance?
WordPress, themes, and plugins release updates frequently. Without updating, your site becomes vulnerable to security risks, slow performance, and potential crashes.

Outdated sites are the #1 target for hackers. You may experience:

  • Security breaches
  • Malware infections
  • Broken features
  • Compatibility issues
  • Slow load times


Eventually, the cost of fixing a neglected site is often much higher than maintaining it properly.

You can do that, but updates sometimes conflict with each other. Without backups and testing, a simple update can break your site. A maintenance plan ensures updates are handled safely and strategically.

Site monitoring checks your website 24/7 to ensure it’s online and functioning. If your site goes down, you’re alerted immediately so it can be fixed quickly. I have purchased a very comprehensive plan that allows me to monitor, update, scan, back up and all of the processes included with your plan.
Professional maintenance plans typically include daily backups stored securely off-site. This ensures your site can be restored quickly if something goes wrong.
No. Hosting provides the space for your website to live online. Maintenance keeps the website healthy, secure, and updated.
Costs vary depending on the level of service. Basic plans may start around $50–$100 per month, while more comprehensive plans range from $150–$300+ per month depending on support, security, and included premium tools. I charge $60 per month, $329 for 6 months, or $599 per year. 
Maintenance covers technical upkeep (updates, backups, security). Website edits (like adding content or changing text) are a separate service.
