When things come up
You have up to 2-3+ “quick requests” per month which can be used for just about anything technical, not content-creation related (that’s your arena), such as…
- Plugin research/advice for special functionality
- Installing, configuring, or removing plugins
- Help monitoring & fixing 404/broken links

*Continuous site speed optimization
Passing Core Web Vitals might require that I developed your theme or worked with you on a site speed optimization project. I will still continuously improve your site speed as much as possible either way, but there might be hurdles to achieve a full passing PageSpeed score. Ads, plugins, and a theme I did not develop may also prevent you from fully passing.
**Continuous theme codebase updates
If I developed your theme, I’ll continuously keep it up-to-date with important improvements to the codebase to keep it ever-evolving. I’ll always check with you first if it’s something that will affect your layout, design, etc.

FAQs
A quick request is something that takes less than 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.
Generally, no, but I’ll always consider your typical needs. I’m not worried about a single request one month and three the next month. I’m not interested in nickel and diming you. As long as it balances out, we’re good.
In some cases, yes, but you’ll get more value if I developed your theme. I’m able to take care of customization requests much more efficiently. If I did not develop your theme, there is a limit to how much I can support or customize it, with the exception of if you are already using the Genesis Framework. Either way, reach out and we can discuss. I might need to audit your site setup before we work together.
Of course! My hosting add-on is not required, but I do strongly encourage you to use a good quality host. I don’t support sites on cheap shared hosting accounts (ie. Bluehost, Hostgator, GoDaddy). I can make recommendations and typically help with migrations at no extra charge.
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.
Basically, no, unless your needs increase or are much more involved than originally discussed. I might also add new features to a new plan that might require an upgrade to take advantage of. Of course, we’ll also need to consider the rate of inflation, so I can’t promise I won’t be forced to make modest price increases years down the road.
Nope! It’s a simple month to month subscription. If you’d like to do an annual subscription for bookkeeping ease, we can do that as well.
You’ll pay me via a recurring PayPal subscription. You don’t need a PayPal account and a debit/credit card can be used. I do not accept checks or e-checks.
