Maintenance WordPress Websites
WordPress Maintenance Package:
Your WordPress website needs regular maintenance to perform as it should. Updates are always being made to WordPress itself as well as themes and plugins, and keeping your WordPress installation up-to-date is extremely important, especially since so many WordPress updates are security fixes and patches that will prevent potential exploits of the vulnerabilities of your website or blog.
Learn more about updatingIncludes:
- Monthly plugin maintenance
- WordPress theme updates
- WordPress updated, when appropriate
NOTE: this does not include managing your domains and hosting (you are responsible for making sure your domain names and hosting are paid for each year).
WordPress Maintenance Package: $300 + HST per year
Changes and Updates:
Although WordPress has a user-friendly backend made to be as easy as possible to use many clients choose not to perform updates themselves. I will update your site and/or add more features (plugins) for $50 + HST /hour.
