WordPress Website Maintenance and Hosting

• If something bad happens (web host accidentally deletes your website {this actually happened to a client...}, a new plugin crashes your site, etc.), you'll know you have a reliable, complete backup AND someone on your team who knows how to restore your site back to its original glory.
• No need to update plugins, WordPress or themes on your own. These will be taken care of for you – safely.
• If you happen to get hacked, hack repair is included. Bingo, I'm sold!
• You will have fewer tasks (and problems) that you have to take care of (and remember to take care of). Giving you more time to take care of "business."
• No more annual fees for [or scary errors messages from] security and/or backup plugins (if you happened to have experienced those previously).
• Professional security monitoring and backups will be handled by our security and technical pros using expert software and processes.
• You'll have someone looking out for your "virtual" best interest - making sure you're complying with security rules by not being blacklisted, etc.
• If you have other projects you need help with, you'll enjoy a discounted rate.
• You can ditch the stress knowing your website (all your hard work, important info, sales, and more) is safe, being looked after and properly maintained.

• You’ll take backups and security into your own hands
• You’ll handle your own software updates
• You’ll pay a minimum of $250 per hack repair
• If you want a site assessment and lockdown from a security expert, you’ll pay at least $175
• You’ll pay the full renewal fee for any other plugins on your site that use our license
• You’ll pay the full regular hourly rate for content updates or other site tweaks

• There are people out there who are bored and spend their time trying to hack websites. They don’t know who you are or what your site is all about. And they don’t care. They just want to inject their spam, malware, or use your website as a gateway to hack into your web host. It's a global epidemic.
• Perhaps the hackers could be doing it to get practice for hacking a site that they can actually benefit from (i.e. steal credit card or other personal information). So, even if that type of information isn’t on your site, they still may use yours as target practice.
• There’s no rhyme or reason behind the madness. They are just people who purposely want to commit crimes and be evil.
• If your website is not hosted with a reputable host (in which case we will strongly encourage you to switch), you may be susceptible to more security risks.

• Websites can be hacked through security vulnerabilities on their hosting platform; a security issue in their WordPress theme or a plugin; or because of a weak username or password.
• Your hosting company should support the latest software; have experience with and be optimized for running WordPress; scan for malware and intrusive files; and have knowledgeable and accessible staff.
• If you do not update your website’s software (WordPress, your theme, your plugins), you are more susceptible to attacks. This is why it is so important to stay up to date. WordPress and most themes and plugins release major updates a couple times a year and minor updates more frequently. New features might be included in the major updates, and security bugs and errors are released in minor updates. Bottom line: updates are important…and they need to be done!

No. That is not a thing. Big companies have full-time employees dedicated to cleaning up hacks and defending against them.

What it will do is make your site much harder to hack. We'll monitor activity so that we'll know if there is an attack happening, provide fixes and clean up if a hack does happen, and a few other perks (as shown above). Think of it like this: You can have deadbolts, alarms, cameras and the best insurance on your house. But, that doesn’t prevent someone from wanting to break in. You’re just making it VERY hard for them to do so!

We clean up the hack, we adjust the security, we deal with the blacklists (if any), and put your online home back in order so you are back in business. We do the work so you can relax and keep doing what you do best.

While I would love to help you, I only work with WordPress websites. It's my speciality, and I can best serve my clients if I am working within my zone of genius.
