Website Care Plan · $147/month + GST

Your website, maintained quietly in the background.

Updates, backups, security, malware monitoring, and an hour of small content updates each month. So you never have to think about your website's plumbing.

The problem

WordPress updates break things. Malware doesn't announce itself. You shouldn't be the one watching.

You launched the website. Now what? Plugins need updating. WordPress core releases security patches. Backups need to actually work when you need them. Malware can sit on your site for months before anyone notices.

You can manage all of this yourself if you've got the time and headspace. Most founders don't. That's what the Care Plan is for - the boring background work that keeps your site safe, fast, and live.

What's included

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

The maintenance

  • Plugin + theme updates (WordPress)
  • Platform monitoring (Wix)
  • Daily automated backups
  • Uptime monitoring + alerts
  • Up to 1 hour of small content updates per month
  • Monthly one-page client report
  • Priority bug fixes for your original build

The security

  • Malware scanning + UNLIMITED remediation via Sucuri partnership
  • Firewall (WAF) monitoring
  • Login security + brute force protection
  • SSL certificate monitoring
  • One point of contact (me) if anything goes wrong

How malware response works

If your site is ever compromised, you don't deal with it - I do. I coordinate with Sucuri (industry-standard WordPress security) who handle the actual remediation at no extra cost to you. You only ever talk to me.

Not included

The boundaries that keep this affordable.

The Care Plan covers maintenance of what's already there. New work gets a separate quote so the monthly price stays predictable.

Out of scope

  • New pages or sections (project quote)
  • Redesigns (project quote)
  • Anything over 1 hour of work in a month (quote)
  • E-commerce-specific maintenance (separate tier)

What "1 hour of updates" looks like

  • Update an "About" paragraph or two
  • Swap a photo or two
  • Add a new testimonial
  • Tweak a CTA button copy
  • Adjust a contact form field
Investment

Set and forget.

Questions

Before you start.

Do I have to take the Care Plan if I buy Website in a Week?

No. You own everything from day one. The Care Plan is optional and most clients add it because the alternative is dealing with WordPress themselves, which they don't want.

What if I didn't build my site with you - can you still take it on Care?

Yes, with a one-time onboarding fee (~$250 + GST) to audit your site, fix any existing issues, and set up monitoring. After that, $147/mo + GST standard.

What if I have a Wix site instead of WordPress?

Yes - Wix Care Plan is the same price and covers platform monitoring, content updates, security alerts. Wix's platform handles most maintenance natively so there's less plumbing to monitor, but the support + content time is the same.

What's the cancellation policy?

30 days' notice after the 3-month minimum. No lock-in beyond that. You own your site, your hosting, your everything - if you want to manage it yourself or move to someone else, you can.

Will I see what you're doing each month?

Yes. Monthly one-page report shows what was updated, scans run, content changes made, and any alerts. Nothing hidden.

Set it and forget it

Your website, looked after. Your headspace, free.
