Care Plans
Why Care Plans Are Important
TL;DR
- A website should always have someone managing updates for security reasons
- Regular backups ensure that the site can easily be restored in a timely manor if there is an issue.
- While WordPress is a robust and secure platform, our care plans add an additional layer of security to protect your site.
Every website needs someone to monitor and maintain it. This includes making sure the site is always up and working for visitors, updating the core system, adding and updating content and media, and much more. We understand that small business owners do not have the time and experience to always manage their site. This is where we can offer our industry knowledge and expertise to help ensure your site is doing exactly as it should, helping your business attract, educate and convert customers.
With our care plans we do regular backups of the site. This ensures that in the case that something happens we can quickly get the site back into operation, and the restoration of the site is included in the cost. Our Care Plan prevents further labor costs of discovering the error, resolving the error and restoration of the site which could cost hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on the severity. This can give you peace of mind knowing that your site is taken care of.
Security is important to us, and when we build new sites we take precautions and use safe practices, however, technology is always evolving leading bad characters to try to harm sites in some way or another. Our care plans add an additional layer of security that alerts us of any holes or vulnerabilities, so that they can be patched. Additionally, we are alerted if something is compromised so that it can quickly be stopped and removed. Like mentioned above, we handle all of this and the restoration at no additional cost.
Our care plans includes hosting of your website. Not all hosts are equal, and with our industry experience we have vetted many providers and know what is the best option. Hosting has a major impact in site speed, site uptime, and site security. Each website will be different and have variables that change the hosting requirements. These variables are things like: monthly visitors, website size, website function (informational site vs e-commerce), and more. Therefore, we can not directly quote a cost up front without first reviewing the needs.
Below you will see our starting pricing for care plans. Plans will vary depending on the needs. We recommend getting in touch with us and we will be able to provide a direct quote.
