WordPress Website Maintenance Plans
I’ll maintain your website so you have more time to focus on your strengths, grow your business and finally take a weekend off!
With a Business Website,
Comes Great Responsibility.
How would you like more freedom in your day?
Running a business is no easy task. Especially when you are still involved in almost all inner workings of your small business. And when you rely on your website for lead generation, sales and attracting new clients, it’s critical to keep it open for business 24/7/365. But doing so requires a little TLC.
Everything needs to be maintained otherwise a breakdown is inevitable. e.g. your car, your body or your work life balance. Your website is no different.
Your business success is counting on your website so if you don’t take proactive steps to maintain your website, keep it secure and running at its best, there are often serious consequences.
By investing in a WordPress Maintenance Plan from a Web Professional, you’ll have more time and the freedom to focus on your strengths, grow your business and finally take a weekend off!
Security
Did you know that ~30,000 websites are hacked into EVERY SINGLE DAY? Don’t be one of the statistics. I take proactive measures to ensure your website is secure including: software security updates, malware and security threat scans, web application firewall (WAF) and brute force login protection setup to block hackers.
Website Support
WordPress website support is provided so you don’t have to do the heavy lifting anymore. This includes design, development, copywriting, SEO, consulting and just about anything you can think of. If you need help with something, consider it done!
I also offer support only plans. More on this in the ‘Support Only Plans‘ below.
Cloud Hosting
Fast loading times are important for SEO and user experience. Simply put, high performing websites require high performance hosting. All of my WordPress website maintenance plans come with high performance cloud hosting.
WordPress Plugin
Running WordPress plugin updates is also crucial for security reasons. All software has to have the latest security patches applied. But because plugins are from third party providers, this is a delicate process that should be done by a Web Professional to ensure compatibility.
WordPress Software Updates
Running manual WordPress software updates is crucial to website security and ensuring your site functions properly. Having the latest and great software also keeps your website performing at its best.
WordPress Theme Updates
Just as crucial as WordPress core software is your WordPress theme. Running security and functionality updates on a regular basis is an absolute must!
Daily Backups
Your business website will be backed up daily with the ability to restore if absolutely needed. This is rarely needed but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Too many times I hear about business owners updating their own software, which ends up completely breaking their website AND with no way to restore anything. Don’t be that business owner.
Speed Optimisation
Visitors won’t wait more than a couple seconds for a website to load. If your website is slow, you are simply wasting your time. Not to mention, Google hates slow websites. Also, a lightning fast website will improve your customer experience, leading to higher conversions. Make speed optimisation part of your SEO strategy.
Monthly Maintenance Reports
Every month you will get a report detailing maintenance carried out over the last month including: software updates, backups, uptime, security, analytics and performance.
Support Only Plans
For non-WordPress websites like Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, etc, I offer support only plans. Support hours can cover almost any task. e.g. Web Design/Development, SEO, Audits, Copywriting, Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Coaching, etc. I could even build you a new website, 1 hour at a time, over many months. Totally up to you!
- $100/month = 1 support hour
- $180/month = 2 support hours
- $240/month = 3 support hours
$110/hour standard rate.

What’s included in ‘Website Support’?
Anything and everything! Whether you need new pages created, edited or optimised, it’s all included. Even optimising a page for Google 🙂

- $180/month = 2 hours of support
- $240/month = 3 hours of support
Note that my standard hourly rate is $110/hour AUD.
What’s included in Technical SEO?
Technical SEO includes all the technical SEO work required to improve search results. Anything from adding schema markup to fixing Google Search Console errors.
For more information on Technical SEO, refer to this detailed guide.
What’s included in On-Page SEO?
The ‘Perform’ plan includes On-Page SEO of 1 page per month.
I’ll start with your most important page; the Home Page.
Once this is optimised, I’ll work through your service pages and blog articles 🙂
Will you manage my hosting account?
Yes. I manage everything for you so you have more time each day. If however you want logins to your hosting account, I am happy to provide access 🙂
I already use Kinsta. Can I get a discount on our WordPress maintenance plan?
If you already use Kinsta as a hosting provider, well done! I’ll discount your monthly hosting cost from your WordPress maintenance plan cost.
However, if you use another hosting provider, then the maintenance plan cost will be the same. Other hosting providers (particularly shared hosting providers) usually aren’t as secure, they have much lower usage limits, not as reliable and usually don’t perform very well.
So it’s usually a lot more work for me to manage and certainly doesn’t help your business. If your budget is extremely, give me a call or send me an email and I’ll help you find a good host that doesn’t break the bank.
Whatever you do, please don’t use shitty hosting providers like GoDaddy, Bluehost,

I already use Cloudways. Can I get a discount on our WordPress maintenance plan?
Same deal as for Kinsta users, if you already use Cloudways as a hosting provider, that’s great. I’m happy to discount your monthly hosting cost from your WordPress maintenance plan cost.
For more info, check out my review of Cloudways.
How often do you run WordPress software updates?
If a WordPress update is available, I’ll do this immediately. This also goes for any plugins that have known security threats. All other software updates are done once per month.
