Most small business websites have nobody looking after them.

WordPress needs a few minutes of care every week, and most businesses don't have anyone whose job that is. It usually shows up as one of these.

  • The update count keeps climbing.Nobody wants to be the one who clicks the button and breaks the site.

  • It went down on Saturday.You found out on Monday, when a customer mentioned it.

  • Whoever built it has moved on.The only working login went with them.

What you're paying for

What happens to your site, and how often.

  1. All day, every day

    Uptime check

    Checked from five locations around the world. If the site goes down, we get the alert and start fixing it.

  2. Every day

    Off-site backup

    A full copy of your site, stored away from your host.

  3. Every week

    Safe updates

    WordPress, plugins and theme, then a check of your main pages. If an update breaks something, we roll it back.

  4. Every month

    Your report

    What was updated and backed up, how often the site was up, and how fast it loads. Sent to your inbox.

  5. When it breaks

    The fix

Questions

Things people ask before they sign up.

All questions
Why pay monthly if my site works fine?

Sites break when they fall behind. Plugins that go unpatched are the most common way WordPress sites get hacked. A plan keeps your site current and backed up, so a bad day costs you an hour instead of the whole site.

Do I have to give you my password?

No. You add us as a separate admin user, and you can remove that user whenever you like.

Someone else built my site. Can you still look after it?

Yes. The free site check tells us both what shape it's in before you commit to anything.

What if I want to cancel?

Tell us at least 5 days before your next payment date and your plan won't renew. There's no contract and no cancellation fee, and we'll hand over your latest backup.

What isn't included?

Redesigns, new pages and custom features. We quote those separately.
