Basic Maintenance That’s Far from Basic

Maintenance for WordPress Websites

WordPress powers 43% of the Internet. Let that sink in. That means that over one-third of websites out there run on the WordPress platform. As someone with a WordPress site, you can probably understand why! It’s an easy-to-use and powerful system.

The downside to this is, that popularity ALSO makes it a target for hackers and malware.

If you’re not regularly performing maintenance on your site, it’s at risk.

There are TONS of plugins and tutorials out there to help – but let’s face it: Do you need one more thing on your to-do list? For most busy entrepreneurs and creators, it makes a whole lot more sense to delegate that task to someone else.

So, here’s how I can help:

Website Backups (Daily)

Rest assured that your website content and database is backed up securely in the cloud. If something goes wrong, just reach out to me and we can restore your site, no problem!

Updates Installed & Tested (Weekly)

This includes WordPress core system updates as well as updates to themes and plugins. If an update causes an issue we’ll reach out to you to discuss solutions and keep your site running!

Malware Scans (Weekly)

Your site will be pro-actively scanned for any security and malware concerns weekly to make sure you’re always safe!

Maintenance Report (Monthly)

Finally, have confidence that your site is being carefully monitored and kept up-to-date on a timely basis. You’ll receive a thorough report via email detailing all the maintenance that was performed the prior month.

I can’t tell you how happy I am with the work Amanda Weber did in a short amount of time. She’s prompt, she’s polite, and she’s professional—and best of all, she does what she says she’s going to do.

Sign up for 30 or 60-minutes of additional time per month for making website content updates such as:

    Plans and Pricing

    Peace of Mind for your WordPress Website

    * Web hosting is only covered while you maintain a PLUS 60 maintenance plan. There is no fee to cancel your plan at any time, but should you wish to cancel or move to a lower plan, you’ll need to purchase your own web hosting if you want to keep your site online. (I recommend SiteGround!) There will be no added charge for migration to your new web host, but please allow for a 1-week notice to schedule your migration.

    NOTHING TO SEE HERE
    What happens if I need my site restored from backup?

    Simply reach out to me at amanda@amandaweber.com and I’m happy to assist you with restoring your site from backup!

    What happens if the installation of updates breaks my site?

    This is a great reason to outsource maintenance! Once updates are installed if one of them is faulty or causes an issue or conflict with another plugin:

    • First, I’ll try to quickly diagnose the issue. Often times tweaking just a few settings will do the trick!
    • If that doesn’t work, I’ll restore your site from its most recent backup so you’re back up and running with minimal downtime. Then I’ll email you to discuss a solution!
    What happens if you find malware or malicious code on my site?

    If I find malware or malicious code or malware on your site during one of our regular scans, the first thing I do is to try and remove or quarantine the problematic files. If for any reason that doesn’t work, I’ll work with you and your web host to clean up any issues and/or restore your site from a malware-free backup. 

    What's included in your monthly reports?

    You’ll receive a report every month detailing all the maintenance that was performed, including:

    • Documentation of backups performed
    • Listing of all updates installed
      • WordPress core system
      • Themes
      • Plugins
    • Security and malware notes
    • Basic analytics
    • If you subscribe to the PLUS 30 or PLUS 60 plans, a list of all additional content updates that were made during your allotted 30 or 60 minutes
    How do I submit edits for my 30/60 minutes?

    Please email ALL of your edits/questions in a single email for the month. Please attach any relevant content (e.g. photos, videos, text copy) to that email or link to them using a service like Google Drive or Dropbox and include the link in the email.

     

    Turnaround Time

    So long as all materials needed to complete the update(s) are provided, I will complete your requested edits within 3 business days.

    Exceptions

    S**t happens. If for some reason you can’t wait 3 business days, let me know and I’ll do my very best to accommodate your needs.

    On the rare occasion that I take a vacation and will be away from my desk for more than a day, I’ll always email out an announcement at least 2 weeks in advance.

    What can my 30 or 60 minutes of content updates be used for?

    If you subscribe to the PLUS 30 (30 minutes) or PLUS 60 (60 minutes) plans, you can use your allotted time in one of two ways:

    1. Content updates to your site. This includes things like updating text copy on existing pages, swapping out photos or videos, publishing blog posts, adding in code snippets for conversions or analytics (e.g. Google Analytics, Facebook tracking pixels, Pinterest verification meta tags, etc.)

    This does not include the creation. of entirely new pages on your site or larger scale redesigns.

    2. Ask a question (or two!) If you aren’t needing updates, feel free to submit a question or two by email. Typically I’ll respond with either an email or a Loom screencast video/demonstration if appropriate.

    I’m happy to answer your questions about topics such as:

    • WordPress – e.g. adding/editing content, where to find things in the admin area, etc.
    • Social media marketing
    • Email marketing
    • Google Analytics
    What if I don't use my full 30 or 60 minutes for the month?

    Time does not roll over month-to-month, so I encourage you to use your time to ask questions if you don’t have any copy/content updates needed for a particular month. 

    What if I need MORE than 30 or 60 minutes for the month?

    If you submit a request that exceeds your allotted 30 or 60-minute plan, I’ll always email you and let you know before I start any work and provide a time/cost estimate to perform the requested edits.

    So long as you keep your maintenance plan subscription, work exceeding your allotted monthly time will be billed at the preferred rate of $75 per hour. (Normal rates for non-subscribers is $90/hour.)

    If you anticipate needing more than 60 minutes per month on an ongoing basis, I would love to discuss a custom retainer plan with you!

    What's your cancellation policy?

    Rest assured, you’re not locked into a contract, and you can cancel at any time. I ask that you please give 10 business days’ notice if at all possible and submit your cancellation notice in writing via email or your client portal ticket system.
