WordPress maintenance and support plans
Your website needs looking after, whether or not anyone's watching it. Plugins need updating, backups need to actually work, and when something breaks you need someone who already knows the site.
I've been building and maintaining WordPress sites for over 15 years. My maintenance plans give you a developer on hand each month, on a simple monthly rolling basis.
Plans and pricing
Care
Most popularfrom£150a month
Everything in Essentials, plus an hour of development or support time each month for content changes, small fixes or improvements. Faster response when you need help.
Get startedRetainer
from£250a month
Everything in Essentials, plus half a day of development time each month. For businesses whose site is actively changing and who want a developer they can rely on without hiring one.
Get startedPrices start from these figures and depend on the size and complexity of your site. WooCommerce stores and larger sites are priced after a review.
What's included in every plan
- WordPress core, plugin and theme updates, checked on a staging copy where it matters
- Regular off-site backups, with restores tested
- Uptime monitoring, so I know when your site goes down
- Security monitoring and malware scanning
- A monthly summary of updates, issues found and work done
- A direct line to me, not a ticket queue
Hosting
Keep your current host if you're happy with it. That's the default, and all plans work with any decent hosting provider.
If you'd rather not deal with hosting at all, I can host your site for you on fast, managed hosting with backups included. This is added to your plan and quoted per site.
Ad hoc support and emergencies
Not ready for a monthly plan? I also take on one-off WordPress fixes, troubleshooting and emergency support at my standard day rate, with the time agreed before work starts.
If your site's down or been hacked, get in touch and I'll tell you straight away what I can do and when.
Maintenance for agenciesI also provide white-label WordPress maintenance and support for digital agencies, under your brand and to your processes.
See white-label development Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum contract?
No. All plans are monthly rolling. Give me notice before your next renewal and the plan stops there, with nothing more to pay.
Does unused development time roll over?
No. Plan time is for that month only. If you regularly need more, moving up a plan is usually cheaper than paying for ad hoc work.
Will you maintain a site you didn't build?
Yes. Most of the sites I look after were built by someone else. I'll review the site before we start so we both know what we're working with.
What counts as development time?
Content updates, small design changes, plugin configuration, bug fixes and minor new features. Larger pieces of work are quoted separately.
How quickly do you respond?
It depends on the plan. Care and Retainer clients get priority, and anything urgent, like a site that's down or has been hacked, is picked up the same working day whichever plan you're on. Everything else is scheduled in and you'll always know when to expect it.
Do I need to use your hosting?
No. Hosting is optional and priced separately.
