WordPress Care Plans
In the ever changing world of technology, websites are no longer a “set and forget” part of your business. While technology evolves, website software is constantly being updated to make it more secure, faster and more visible to search engines. Just like Microsoft Office and your smartphone software needs updating, so too does your WordPress website. More importantly though, your website is a crucial part of your business and therefore requires extra care to make sure it continues to perform its functions.
Our WordPress Care plans give you peace of mind that all software is up to date, secure against any unwelcome attacks and that your website is actually online and operational for your customers and users. We have 3 levels of plan, Basic Care, Standard Care and Advanced Continuity Care which you can see more detail of each below. These plans are designed to cover most sites needs but if you need a bespoke service then please contact us and we will be very happy to tailor a custom solution for you.

Please note:
From our extensive experience we have developed a policy of applying updates as soon as they are available. This, in some rare cases, may stop some functionality of your site (if a theme is not compatible with an update, for example, the site may not display as intended). The reason for applying updates as soon as possible is for security, sites that are not maintained with the latest updates do tend to get compromised. We feel that it is much better to work on fixing a site that has a technical issue due to an update than work through fixing a compromised site.
Due to the nature of the internet, we can't guarantee against malicious attacks, but, by having your site running the latest updates will certainly help guard against such issues.
