Most WordPress care plan pages make you request a quote. That is a sales tactic, not a pricing model — and it usually means the price depends on what they think you will pay. Ours are below, in full, including what each plan does not cover.
Every plan includes tested updates, daily off-site backups, uptime monitoring, security scanning, and a human who replies. The difference between tiers is how fast we respond, how much hands-on time is included, and how much monitoring a revenue-critical site needs.
Worth knowing: When comparing plans, the price is the least useful number. Ask two questions: are updates tested on a staging copy before going live, and does a person respond or a system? Nearly every cheap plan fails both, and you only discover it the day something breaks.
Use this on us as well as on anyone else you’re considering.
The difference between a maintenance plan and a cron job. An untested plugin update is the most common way a working site suddenly breaks.
Daily is the minimum. Ask where backups are stored — a backup on the same server is not a backup.
Most providers cannot answer this. An untested backup is an assumption.
"We respond quickly" is not a commitment. Ask for hours, and ask what happens at 2am on a Sunday.
A named person who knows your site, or whoever picks up the ticket that day.
Bundled hosting often hides the real maintenance margin and makes leaving harder.
Month-to-month means they keep you by being useful. Annual lock-ins do the opposite.
You should. Ask before signing, not after.
Fixed monthly price, month to month, cancel any time. No bundled hosting and no annual lock-in.

Multiple sites? Rates drop per site — tell us how many.
Growth at $199/month suits most businesses whose website generates leads — it adds staging-tested updates, Core Web Vitals monitoring, and same-business-day response. Essential is right for a brochure site that mainly needs to stay online and secure. Commerce is for anything taking payments, where an hour of downtime has a measurable cost.
Yes, up or down, at any time, effective the next billing cycle. Most clients start on Essential and move up when the site starts producing real revenue.
Yes, and it is most of what we do. We start with an audit of the current state — plugin inventory, security posture, backup situation, performance baseline — and tell you honestly what needs fixing before ongoing maintenance makes sense.
We fix it first as a one-off project with a fixed quote, then the plan starts from a clean baseline. It would not be honest to put a compromised site on a monthly plan and pretend maintenance alone will sort it out.
No setup fee for a site in reasonable shape. If the audit turns up work needed before we can maintain it safely, you get a fixed quote for that first and you decide.
Send us your URL and we’ll tell you what’s out of date, what’s exposed, and what we’d fix first — free, and yours to keep whether or not you hire us.
