"I compared three care providers head to head before picking WebCare. The SLA was the only one I could quote back at them in writing. Six months in, zero downtime and the same engineer every month."

Honest answers

WebCare Studios vs FixRunner FAQs

Everything founders ask before they switch. If yours is not here, ask on WhatsApp and we will answer in plain English.

Is FixRunner reliable?

FixRunner has a strong Trustpilot score and a long track record on one off WordPress fixes. The gap is on ongoing care, where the plan pages do not publish response times in writing and the resource hub is currently broken. For a single emergency, they are a fair pick. For long term care, a written SLA matters.

Do you also do one time WordPress fixes?

Yes. One time critical error fixes start at $149 with a 4 hour first response, and we credit the cost against your first month if you move onto a care plan inside thirty days.

How long does it take to switch to WebCare Studios?

Most sites are onboarded inside 48 hours. We take a full backup, run a baseline audit, set up monitoring, and brief you in plain English before we touch anything live. Zero downtime, no missed emails, no broken links.

What if I am not happy after I switch?

Every plan is covered by a 30 day money back guarantee in plain language. Cancel inside the first thirty days for any reason and you get a full refund. No forms, no friction.

Will my SEO take a hit during the move?

No. We keep your URLs, redirects, sitemaps, and schema intact. We also baseline your Google Search Console before the move so we can prove ranking stability after.

Who actually works on my site?

Senior WordPress engineers based in the US and Pakistan, on call 24 by 7. From the $199 Care Plus plan, you get a named lead engineer who owns your site, replies on first name terms, and stays the same person month after month.

Do you charge extra for emergencies?

No. Emergency response is included in every care plan. If your site goes down at 2 AM, we are already on it before you wake up. No surprise invoices.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Monthly plans cancel any time with one email. Annual plans cancel inside the 30 day window for a full refund, and after that on a prorated basis. No retention loops, no forced calls.
