Know what needs protecting
Document the hosting, domain, application and integrations. Confirm the backup scope; a WordPress recovery can require both files and its database.
Website Maintenance
Keep a dependable website after launch.
Define routine checks, small changes and recovery responsibilities so the site remains manageable.
Prices cover the listed scope. Additional work and external costs are quoted separately.
A practical approach
Keep the everyday customer journey working.
Website care brings together recovery, change control and checks on the features your business depends on.
Control routine changes
Review updates and content changes against the agreed scope. Keep a release history and identify who can authorise higher-impact work.
Check business-critical features
Review availability, contact routes and key forms after changes. Agree how an incident is reported, investigated and escalated.
A backup is most useful when the restoration process and responsible owner are also known.

Before you decide
Questions worth asking.
How is this different from your Shopify or WordPress support?
This page helps you select the relevant care plan. WordPress maintenance focuses on updates, backups and site health; Shopify support provides a prioritised development and design task allowance. Buy the plan that matches the platform and work required. The same tasks should appear once in your quote, not as an extra charge under a general maintenance package.
Which plan suits a site with custom features?
Start with a health and access review. Custom applications, complex commerce features or unsupported integrations may need a separate maintenance scope with their own monitoring, deployment and incident responsibilities.
What should be agreed before support starts?
The covered site, working hours and timezone, response targets, incident channel, included hours, overage approval and responsibility for hosting or third-party outages. These details belong in the actual care agreement.
What is the starting budget and what is separate?
WordPress $100 – $250 / month; Shopify from $400 / month. Platform-specific support determines final fee These are published USD prices. The written quote must state the complete cost, payment schedule and applicable taxes.
When can the work begin and what do you need from me?
Onboarding then agreed recurring checks. To scope the work, prepare: Stack; host; urgent concern. The schedule starts after the required access, inputs and approvals are ready.
How are revisions, extra work and support agreed?
Use the listed deliverables and exclusions as the starting point. The quote must state acceptance checks, review rounds, payment stages, cancellation arrangements and any ongoing support. Requested additions need an agreed cost and schedule before implementation.
