Website Hosting, Maintenance, Security, & Care Plan

Making sure your website is protected, backed up and expertly cared for.

Once your website is live, it’s not only important to protect it from malware and hacks that can take your site down and affect your Google rankings but it’s also important to keep the tools in the site updated to make sure the site is running quickly and efficiently.

Through a website maintenance/security care plan, I take on the stress of all these complexities so you can focus on and grow your business!

What Does "Website Maintenance" Mean?

Here’s a snapshot of the key components that make our website care plan invaluable for our clients.

Website hosting

Hosting is the foundation of your website. Security, performance, optimization and ease of use all depend on it. I offer premium hosting for all my clients so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

website updates

Just like your phone has software updates, your website needs to be updated too. Additionally, out-of-date plugins are the #1 leading cause of website hacks. I take care of weekly updates for you.

monitoring & Security

I have special tools that monitor your sites’ traffic and activity, protect against potential hacks or breaches and keep an eye on “up time” to ensure your site is up and running fine.

website backups

Backing up your website consistently is critical for many reasons but most importantly, if the site should need to be restored, transferred or downloaded, I offer external backups and restore points for all clients on our plans.

website optimization

In order for websites to load fast, perform well and to ensure speed, the files, database and media need to be optimized. I have special tools that keep your site optimized and running smoothly along with cleaning up any and all “web gunk.”

monthly reporting

You shouldn’t have to try to determine what’s going on via your site. I take care of that for you with an in-depth (but not overwhelming) monthly report which also highlights what we’re doing month to month on your site.

priority support

You as a client get priority support. I’ll set up exclusive contact details for you to ping us with whenever you need an update, addition or when you have any questions and I do our best to get back with you within 24hrs on business days.

personal consultations

I'm in your corner every month and I know what’s happening on the “web side” of your business. This gives me the ability to offer strategy, new marketing ideas and conversion best practices to implement on your site which we can discuss quarterly or annually depending on your plan.

auto privacy policy

EVERY website needs to have an up-to-date privacy policy which protects your site visitors traffic and activity. I do that for you with a tool that keeps your site legal with auto-updating policies that generate automatically.

If I’m building your website, there is no set up fee!

In some cases, I will take on a website not designed by me after a full website audit. There is a $149 set up fee because I need to update all tools, clean up the database if it hasn’t been cleared, install my tools and backup the site among other tasks.

In order for me to provide the services in the maintenance plan, I need to be hosting your site. This gives me control and access to the most important parts of your website.

Due to the importance of maintenance, this is something we will talk about in our strategy call. 

That said, if you choose to forego a care plan, you will assume complete responsibility for the website updates, security, backups and other services laid out in this plan that releases me from any involvement if and when the website is breached, hacked, performs slowly, or doesn’t function as it used to because the lack of proper optimization or updates.

I’ll always try to get your updates done in the least amount of time to save you some extra cost but if you have a decent amount of updates that will require more hours, I’ll give you an estimate of time and do that at our hourly rate which is reduced for you as a special, monthly care client!
In the extremely unlikely event that a website is breached or hacked in any way while on a plan, I take full responsibility and will rectify the situation immediately. You will not need to do a thing.

Sorry! The retainer of hourly updates is covered for that month but does not rollover or add up for later use.

Your monthly time (for standard or elite plans) covers any updates, additions or add-ons to your website. For example, adding new keynote speech details, company information, staff or team members, adding new photos, updating services pages, etc.


While I do my best to get updates done within your allotted time, if more time is required, I can do so with my hourly rate which for you is discounted!


Note: The allotted monthly time is for work or updates on the existing website and cannot be used for other projects or a step-by-step website revamp. I’m happy to do those things either via a discounted hourly rate or via a discounted and separate fixed project!
