Structured Monthly WordPress Care
A WordPress maintenance plan with fixed deliverables — not vague promises about "keeping an eye on things."
"Maintenance plan" means different things to different providers. Ours means a documented schedule of specific technical tasks, performed on a defined cycle, with a written report delivered at the end of every month. No ambiguity. No surprises.
The Problem with "Maintenance" as a Vague Service
Ask most WordPress freelancers or agencies what's included in their maintenance plan. You'll get answers like: "We keep your site updated and secure" or "We monitor everything and handle issues as they come up."
These answers describe an intention, not a deliverable. When you pay for maintenance and something goes wrong, you have no basis on which to ask why it wasn't caught, because the scope was never defined.
A structured maintenance plan specifies exactly what is done, when it is done, and what evidence you receive that it was done. This isn't bureaucracy. It's the difference between accountability and hand-waving.
What "Low-Cost Maintenance Plans" Usually Deliver
The $29/month WordPress maintenance plans you'll find advertised online share a common reality: they are automated. A script runs plugin updates. A cron job triggers a backup. A dashboard turns green. Nobody actually looks at your site.
The problem is that automated processes cannot detect a plugin update that broke your mobile navigation, or a backup that completed but stored a corrupted archive, or a new admin account that appeared in your user list that you didn't create.
Maintenance that doesn't involve human judgment is monitoring theater. It feels reassuring until the moment it demonstrably wasn't working.

Common questions
Questions answered.
What's the difference between your plan and cheaper options?
Human review. Every task in our plan is performed and verified by a technician, not an automated script. We test updates, verify backups by attempting restores, and review logs rather than just running scans.
Can I customize what's included in the plan?
Our core plan covers all the essentials. We can add services like monthly performance reporting, WooCommerce-specific audits, or content updates on top of the base plan.
What if something breaks between monthly cycles?
Maintenance plan clients have access to on-call support between scheduled cycles. If something breaks mid-month, we're available, it's not a "wait until next month" situation.
How do I see what was done each month?
Every month you receive a written report covering every task completed, any issues identified, and the current health status of your site.
