No Stress WordPress Support & Maintenance
STARTING at $200/mo
Standard Care Plan
Everything a professional solo blogger needs from peace of mind to hands-on go-to technical help and advice.
Includes:
Core Web Vitals Optimization
Initial basic level site speed optimization to get your site in the “green” and ongoing monitoring to help keep it there. Premium performance and caching plugins included!
If your theme, plugins, or 3rd party scripts are keeping you from a good score, we’ll discuss what needs to be done to fix it at an additional cost.
Google Search Console Help
Basic level Google indexing error monitoring and troubleshooting. This is vital to the health of your website’s organic search rankings and traffic. I’ll keep a close eye on things to help fix most simple issues that arise. More complex site issues will have additional costs.
Backups & Restores
Reliable cloud backups (every 12 hours) & no-charge restores should anything happen.
Software Updates
Routine safe WordPress plugin and WordPress core updates to keep your site running fast, secure, and error free.
I’ll also help keep your hosting environment updated with the latest supported PHP and database software versions.
Updates can occasionally break things, but I’ll quickly resolve any issues that might arise, often before you notice. That’s what I’m here for.
Uptime Monitoring
I’ll be immediately alerted if your site goes down, so I can investigate the outage and work to bring it back online as quickly as possible.
Security Monitoring
Multiple daily security checks are run, so I can catch and patch vulnerabilities as soon as possible. If your site is hacked, I’ll clean it up at no charge.
Database Optimization
I’ll keep your database clean of spam, excess revisions, and overhead to keep things running fast by optimizing your database on a near-daily basis.
Monthly Report
You’ll receive a detailed monthly report outlining updates performed, uptime, backups, security, and will include a snapshot of your analytics for the month as well as rank tracking of up to 100 keywords/queries.
Discounted Billable Rate
My care plan covers a LOT, but if you do need additional work done, no problem! You’ll get priority project scheduling and a discounted rate.
Quick Requests
Need help with something minor? I’ve got you covered with no nickel and diming here.
If you generally need more than a couple minor things per month or have additional team members who also need support, my priority plan will be more appropriate.
Starting at $300/mo

- Advanced Core Web Vitals optimization

Managed Cloud Hosting
Think of me like a hands-on layer of support above your web host to provide you with true managed hosting.

FAQs
A quick request is something that takes less than ~15-30 minutes to complete between emails, research, and implementation. I’m very fast, so this covers a lot different types of requests. Anything that is more of a small project might require some billable time to complete which will be discussed and quoted.
No, but if you haven’t asked me for much lately and then have a busier than usual month, that’s generally fine. I’m not interested in nickel and diming you. As long as it balances out, we’re good.
Mostly, no, but it depends on what we are talking about exactly. SEO is an extremely broad subject covering a lot of different things.
SEO-related things that ARE included:
– Core Web Vitals optimization
– Google Search Console help
– Top 100 keyword rank tracking on your monthly report
– Some “quick request” items might loosely cover SEO-related things
SEO-related things that are NOT included:
– In-depth SEO consultations (ie. content strategy)
– Keyword research and planning advice
– Technical SEO audits and fixes
– Accessibility or UX audits and fixes
– Backlink building and content creation
Sometimes. I prefer we work together on a redesign/rebuild project first since my care plan is not a substitute for a well-built theme and website. But it’s also on a case by case basis. I’ll need to check out your site, theme, and plugins first.
I don’t support sites on cheap shared hosting accounts (ie. Bluehost, Hostgator, GoDaddy). I can make quality hosting recommendations and can also help ensure a smooth migration.
Generally, yes, however if you have more than one website you need supported, let’s talk. I can usually give you a custom discounted rate for more than one site, depending on the needs of each site.
Nope! It’s a simple month to month recurring subscription. You can cancel before your next billing date. But my goal is to earn your business each month and to be invaluable to the success of your business.
You’ll pay me via a recurring Stripe or PayPal subscription. I do not accept checks or e-checks.
