WordPress Essential Website Care

Keep your WordPress website updated, backed up and running smoothly without having to deal with the technical side yourself.

Essential Website Care provides routine maintenance and preventative monitoring for your existing WordPress website, helping identify potential issues before they become bigger problems.

What’s included in your monthly maintenance

Essential Website Care includes routine maintenance and monitoring of your existing WordPress website. It does not include a set number of development hours or unlimited website changes.

Who is Essential Website Care for?

Essential Website Care is designed for small business WordPress websites that don’t require frequent changes or ongoing development work. 

It’s a good fit for:

✓ Brochure websites — Websites that provide information about your business and services.

✓ Local business websites — Businesses that mainly need their website to remain secure, updated and working properly.

✓ Professional services — Consultants, trades, professional services and other businesses with relatively stable website content.

✓ Small business websites — Businesses that don’t regularly require website changes or development work.

✓ Busy business owners — Anyone who would rather have someone else take care of the technical maintenance.

Need regular website changes, content updates or more hands-on support? Our Business Website Care plan may be a better fit.

Initial Website Assessment for Existing Websites

This applies to websites that are already established by someone other than Amay Web Design.

Before commencing ongoing maintenance, we check the website to identify any obvious issues, outdated software, compatibility concerns or other problems that may affect ongoing maintenance.

If significant issues are identified during the initial assessment, we’ll let you know before carrying out any additional chargeable work.

Inclusions:

  • WordPress Core Updates

Regular updates to the WordPress core software.

  • Plugin Updates

Regular updates to installed WordPress plugins, where compatible and appropriate.

Updates to the active WordPress theme and related theme components.

  • Preventative Website Maintenance

Regular checks to identify potential issues before they become bigger problems.

Regular website backups, with restoration available if required.

  • Database Maintenance

Routine database cleaning and optimisation to help maintain website performance.

  • Website Health & Security Checks

Basic checks for website errors, update issues and common security concerns.

  • Email Support

Maintenance clients receive priority over non-maintenance enquiries. Emails are generally responded to within one business day. Email support is for website maintenance-related enquiries only.

  • Monthly Maintenance Report

A simple monthly report showing the maintenance carried out on your website.

  • No Lock-In Contract

Stay for as long as you need. Cancel your plan at any time.

  • Basic Troubleshooting

Investigation of minor maintenance-related issues discovered during routine updates.

How Website Care Works

Your website is monitored and maintained as part of your care plan. When maintenance issues or updates require attention, we’ll take care of them as part of your service.

Getting your website maintenance started is simple.

1. Choose your care plan

Select the plan that’s right for your website and subscribe online.

2. Your first payment is processed

Your first month of care begins once your subscription is confirmed.

3. Provide your website access

We’ll securely collect the access details required to maintain your website.

4. We set up your website

We’ll connect your website to our maintenance and monitoring system and complete the initial checks.

5. Ongoing maintenance begins

We’ll carry out the routine maintenance included in your chosen care plan.

6. Your subscription renews monthly

Your plan automatically renews on your individual billing date each month.

7. Receive your maintenance report

You’ll receive a report outlining the maintenance completed during your care period.

That’s it.

You get on with running your business. We’ll take care of the technical maintenance of your website.

Monthly Billing

All website care plans are paid monthly in advance. Your first payment is made when you subscribe and covers your first month of website care. Your subscription will then automatically renew each month according to your subscription billing schedule.

You can cancel at any time. No further payments will be taken after cancellation, and your website care will continue until the end of your current paid period.

When does my website care begin?

Your website care begins once your subscription has been successfully processed and we have received the access details required to maintain your website.

  • You are required to provide me with website access.
  • I’ll then complete the initial setup and add your website to our maintenance system.

What happens if you have a problem?

If I identify an issue that falls outside your care plan, I’ll let you know before carrying out any additional chargeable work. You remain in control of any additional costs.
