What is covered
Everything a WordPress site needs every month
Updates, tested first
WordPress core, theme and plugin updates every week. We check the site after each round, so an update does not quietly break your layout or your form.
Daily off-site backups
A full copy of the site every day, stored away from the server. If something goes wrong, we restore it.
Security monitoring
Malware scanning, login protection and a firewall. If the site is hacked while on a plan, cleanup is included.
Uptime monitoring
Automated checks around the clock. We hear about downtime before your customers do.
Quote form checks
On Care and Grow we submit a test through your quote form after every update round and confirm the email arrives.
Fixes and edits
New photos, a changed phone number, a new service, a broken page. Care includes 2 hours a month and Grow includes 5. Bigger jobs get a fixed quote first.
Speed tuning
Caching, image compression and cleanup so the site passes Core Web Vitals on a phone.
A report you can read
One page each month: what we updated, what we fixed, how the site performed.

Why WordPress maintenance for contractors is its own job
A contractor’s website is small, but it is not simple. It usually has a quote form tied to an email service, a gallery of large photos, a map, a reviews feed and sometimes a booking or financing tool. Each of those depends on a plugin, and plugins change every week.
WordPress and its plugins release updates constantly, and many of them are security fixes. The advice from WordPress.org itself is to keep everything up to date. The risk is that an update breaks something that makes money, without any error on screen, and nobody notices for weeks.
So WordPress maintenance for contractors, the way we do it, is updates plus checking. After each weekly round we look at the pages that matter, and on Care and Grow we send a test request through the quote form to confirm that it arrives. If something broke, we fix it or roll it back before your customers find it.
You also get a person to write to. Fixes and small edits are included up to two hours a month on Care and five on Grow, and every request is answered the same business day. Not sure what a fair price is? See what a WordPress care plan costs.
FAQ
Questions about WordPress maintenance for contractors
How much fix and edit time is included?
Care includes 2 hours and Grow includes 5 hours each month for text and photo changes, a broken form, a plugin conflict and similar tasks. Unused time does not roll over. Maintain has no included time: fixes there are quoted per task. Anything bigger gets a fixed quote before we start.
My site was built by someone else. Can you take it over?
Yes. Most sites we look after were built by another agency or freelancer. The free audit covers what can be checked from the outside. After you sign up we get access and do a full check, including backups.
Do I have to move hosting?
Hosting is included and migration is free. If you prefer to stay with your current host, we maintain the site there for the same price.
What if I only need one thing fixed?
Use the one-time emergency fix. No plan needed.
