Website Care Plans

A website is never really finished. WordPress keeps updating, plugins keep changing, and a site left alone silently falls behind until something breaks at an inconvenient moment.

Care plans keep that from happening. Every plan includes managed hosting, so there's no separate hosting bill and no one pointing fingers between your host and your developer when something goes wrong.


Essential Care

$75 / month

For people who want their website quietly looked after, year-round.

  • Managed hosting included, fast, secure, and maintained
  • Weekly WordPress core and plugin updates
  • Ongoing uptime monitoring
  • Daily verified offsite backups
  • Ongoing website health and security monitoring
  • Monthly website care report

Additional work billed at $95/hour.


Growth Care

$150 / month

For people whose website is an active part of their work, not just something to maintain.

Everything in Essential Care, plus:

  • One included hour each month for content updates, improvements, refinements, or new features (time does not roll over)
  • Priority scheduling and response
  • Reduced hourly rate for additional work, $75/hour
  • Support for hosting you own and control, if you'd rather keep your site on your own account
  • Ongoing collaboration to help your website evolve alongside your work

If you expect to need an hour or more of work in a typical month, Growth Care costs less than Essential Care plus hourly.


Premium Care

$250 / month

For people who rely heavily on their website and want the highest level of proactive support.

Everything in Growth Care, plus:

  • Two included hours each month for updates, improvements, or strategy (total, time does not roll over)
  • Security Plus included
  • Priority same-day response for urgent issues
  • Updates applied safely through a staging environment first
  • Quarterly website review covering performance, SEO, accessibility, and overall site health
  • Enhanced infrastructure and maintenance workflow for added reliability

Security Plus

+$10 / month

An optional layer of proactive protection, beyond the security monitoring already included in every plan.

  • Early protection against newly discovered plugin and theme vulnerabilities, often before official patches are released
  • Daily malware scanning
  • Ongoing protection for all site content against A.I. scrapers
  • Advanced security monitoring with detailed activity logging
  • Additional WordPress hardening to close common automated attack paths
  • Faster investigation and response if anything suspicious turns up

Included at no additional cost with Premium Care.


Hosting

Managed hosting is included with every care plan. For most people that's the simplest arrangement: one monthly fee, one person to ask, and no separate hosting account to think about.

If you'd rather own your hosting account directly, that works too, and your site can stay exactly where it is. Nonprofits and organizations with their own IT requirements often prefer this. On Growth Care and Premium Care, a hosting credit applies to your monthly rate. Get in touch and I'll walk you through the options.


What's Covered

Care plans cover the ongoing maintenance, monitoring, security, backups, hosting, and general health of your website.

Content edits, design changes, new features, copywriting, and other development work fall outside the scope of a care plan unless they're covered by your included monthly time. Most requests are finished within a few business days, depending on scope.

Rates shown are in your local currency.


My Approach

My goal is simple: to make your website one less thing you have to think about.

While you focus on your own work, I'll make sure your website stays healthy, secure, and ready when people come looking. I'll also keep an eye out for ways to improve it over time, so it keeps supporting what you do as your work grows.
