Peace of mind after launch
A website isn’t ‘finished’ at launch, it needs looking after. My care plans keep WordPress core, themes and plugins updated, take regular backups, monitor security and keep performance sharp, so you can focus on your business.
You also get a trusted person to call for the small changes and fixes that inevitably come up, rather than starting from scratch with someone new each time.
Keep the important journeys working after updates
Ongoing care should give you a clear view of what was checked and what needs attention. I focus on the parts of the site your business depends on, with routine maintenance separated from larger improvements.
Update with context
Check the affected functionality and representative pages, rather than treating a successful update screen as the end of the job.
Keep a practical recovery route
Agree the backup and recovery arrangements, who is responsible and which checks are included in the maintenance scope.
Make the next priorities visible
Keep a clear record of completed work, emerging problems and changes that need their own estimate or approval.
What care plans cover
- UpdatesWordPress core, theme and plugin updates, tested and safe.

A clear scope and handover
What you receive
- An initial review of the site and the services or integrations it depends on.
- An agreed maintenance scope, support arrangements and allowance for smaller changes.
- A record of completed work, checks and items that need a separate decision.
Useful things to send me
Send the site address, who hosts it and any immediate concerns. Mention the journeys that must keep working, such as enquiries, checkout or member access, so the care plan reflects the site’s actual role.
Discuss your projectFrequently asked questions
Do I need a care plan?
If your site supports enquiries, sales or publishing, it needs an agreed maintenance process. A care plan provides that ongoing work; the appropriate scope depends on the site and who already looks after it.
Can you maintain a site you didn’t build?
Often yes. I’ll review the site first, resolve anything urgent, then take it onto a care plan.
What’s included each month?
Updates, backups, security and performance monitoring, plus an allowance of small changes. Larger work is quoted separately.
Does a care plan include a redesign or new features?
Larger changes are scoped separately. The plan should make the included maintenance, smaller edits, support availability and any exclusions clear before work begins.

Care and infrastructure have different jobs
I look after agreed site updates and improvements through a care plan. AceMedia Host handles the hosting layer, with monitoring, deploys and recovery matched to the site. We put the boundary in writing so nothing quietly falls between the two.
