FAQ
Common questions about care plans
Do I need a care plan?
If your website runs on WordPress or any CMS with plugins, yes — security updates and backups are essential. Static sites need less maintenance but still benefit from uptime monitoring and occasional updates.
Are there contracts?
No. All care plans are month-to-month. You can cancel, upgrade, or downgrade anytime with 30 days notice. You own your site and all its content regardless.
What counts as a content update?
A content update is changing text, swapping images, adding a blog post, or adding a new page. Major redesigns or new features are billed separately at $65/hour.
What happens if my site goes down?
Uptime monitoring detects outages and alerts me immediately. I investigate and restore your site from the most recent backup. Most outages are resolved within 1-2 hours.
