Website Maintenance
Your Website Is Like a Car.
Skip the Oil Changes, Pay Later.
Nobody skips oil changes for three years and then acts surprised when the engine seizes on the highway. A website works the same way. "We'll handle updates later" gets expensive. We handle them for you.
What "I'll Handle It Later"
Actually Costs
An unpatched WordPress site gets hacked on average within 72 hours of a known vulnerability being published. An expired SSL certificate gives every visitor a browser warning that your site isn't secure, overnight. A plugin you haven't updated in six months is the door hackers walk through.
Maintenance isn't exciting. Neither is car insurance. But when your site goes down at 9pm on a Friday before a job fair, you'll want someone to have been paying attention.
What "Maintained"
Actually Means Here
When we maintain your site, we patch security holes on a schedule. We keep backups and restore them to prove they work. The SSL certificate renews itself before it lapses, on hosting we manage so you don't have to.
Your care plan includes a monthly 10-minute summary of what happened, what was updated, and anything you should know. You shouldn't need a retainer to get a straight answer.
What Breaks When You
Skip Maintenance
Maintenance failures don't announce themselves. Here's what happens when sites go unmaintained:
- Plugin conflict after a WordPress update: An auto-update runs, two plugins conflict, and your contact form silently stops working. Leads fill out the form and nobody hears from you. You find out three weeks later when a customer calls to ask if you got their message.
- Expired SSL certificate: It takes 30 seconds to fix if you're watching. If you're not, every visitor sees "This connection is not private" until you notice. Google also flags insecure sites, which hurts your ranking while it lasts.
- Outdated plugin with a known exploit: Security researchers publish vulnerability databases, and bots scan for vulnerable plugins within hours of disclosure. An unpatched site gets malware injections, redirect hacks, or worse. Cleanup costs $300–$1,500. Recovering from a Google blacklist takes weeks.
- Shared hosting throttle or outage: Cheap hosting packages throttle sites during traffic spikes or go offline for hours. If your site is down when a prospect searches for you, they call the next result and may never come back.
The maintenance plan costs less per month than one lost job from any of these.
What Cheap Hosting
Really Costs You
The $5/month hosting plan you bought three years ago costs you money in ways that don't show up on an invoice. Cheap shared hosting puts your site on a server with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of other websites. When any of them spike in traffic, or the host oversells capacity, every site on that server slows down.
Page speed is a Google ranking factor and a conversion factor. A site that loads in 5 seconds loses 40% of mobile visitors before they see your headline. If you want local searches from smartphones, a slow site taxes every visit. You pay for traffic you don't convert because your hosting is the bottleneck.
Managed WordPress hosting for small businesses comes with every care plan. It runs on infrastructure built for speed, with caching layers, CDN delivery, and server-level optimization. Our sites load in under 2 seconds on mobile. Cheap hosting saves a few dollars a month and costs you conversions and rankings.

Every Plan Includes
Core Maintenance
Covered
The care plan has a three-month minimum, then runs month to month. There are no annual contracts and no cancellation fees.
Fast Managed Hosting
Your site runs on fast managed hosting instead of a shared server your cousin set up in 2016.
SSL Certificate
Included and auto-renewed, so customers never see a browser warning that your site isn't secure.
Spam-Filtered Lead Form
Five layers of filtering sit between the bots and your phone, tuned so a real contractor lead never gets caught. Every genuine one lands in your CRM with a timestamp.
Off-Site Backups
Automatic backups are stored off-site and tested. If something goes wrong, you're back online in hours.
Security Patches & Updates
We keep WordPress core, themes, and plugins current and patch vulnerabilities as they come up.
Content Updates
We handle small text changes, image swaps, and service list updates as part of your plan. Bigger changes and new pages get a flat quote up front.
Quick Self-Assessment
Signs Your Setup
Needs Attention
- Your site is on shared hosting you set up years ago and haven't touched since.
- You've never had an SSL certificate warning, because you've never checked.
- Your WordPress plugins have update notifications you've been ignoring for months.
- You don't know the last time your site was backed up (or if it ever was).
- Your site loaded slowly the last time you checked it on your phone.
- You found out about a previous outage when a customer called to ask why your site was down.
- You have no one to call if your site gets hacked, or if it already has been.

Service FAQ
Maintenance Questions,
Answered.
Quick answers about our care plans.
Yes, especially then. WordPress (or whatever CMS powers your site) releases security patches, and a new site needs them as much as an old one. A new car still needs registration, insurance, and oil changes.
Text changes, image swaps, adding a team member, updating your service list, tweaking a headline. Anything that doesn't need a new page built from scratch counts. Hours roll over for 30 days, and unused hours don't pile up past that. We'll give you a heads up before you go over.
Yes, after the first three months. Every plan has a three-month minimum, then goes month to month. After that, cancel with 30 days' notice and we'll migrate your hosting and hand you everything you need to move somewhere else.
Malware cleanup coverage is part of your care plan. If your site gets hit, we clean it up and patch the entry point. You have backups, and someone to call when it happens.
At the core: fast managed hosting, SSL certificate (auto-renewed), off-site backups (tested), and WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates. Your plan also includes a spam-filtered lead form wired to your CRM, instant lead alerts with tap-to-call, automated Google review requests, malware cleanup coverage, small content updates, and a plain-English monthly summary covering what happened, what was updated, and anything you should know. Three-month minimum, then month to month with no cancellation penalties.
Our care plan is $149/month. Three-month minimum, then month to month. That covers managed hosting, SSL, off-site backups, security and plugin updates, malware cleanup coverage, a spam-filtered lead form wired to your CRM, instant lead alerts with tap-to-call, automated Google review requests, small content updates, and a monthly summary report. A cleanup after a hack typically costs $300–$1,500 when billed as emergency work. One month of missed leads from a site that was down over a weekend costs more than a year of maintenance.
If you're on our care plan, we handle it. We remove the malware, patch the entry point, submit blacklist removal requests to Google and security databases (Norton, McAfee), and verify your site is clean before it goes back online. If you're not on a plan, we can still help at an hourly rate, but emergency work costs more and takes longer. On a maintained site, a hack is usually caught fast and cleaned in 24–48 hours with no lasting SEO damage. On an unmaintained site it's caught late, the malware has spread further, and a Google flag can hurt your ranking for weeks.
Yes. Every care plan includes managed WordPress hosting. Unlike cheap shared hosting, your site runs on hardware built for WordPress, with server-level caching, CDN delivery for faster global load times, daily automatic backups, and isolated resources so other sites' traffic spikes don't affect yours. Most sites we migrate from cheap hosting load measurably faster within the first week. Speed affects your Google ranking and your conversion rate, so a hosting upgrade is often the biggest improvement we make.
Hosting is where your site lives: the servers that store and serve your files. Maintenance keeps it healthy while it runs. Most businesses have hosting without maintenance and regret it eventually. Maintenance doesn't work well on bad hosting, so our care plans bundle both. Good hosting means fewer problems, and maintenance catches the ones that still get through.
