What This Is

A WordPress care plan is a monthly maintenance service for small business websites that are already built and working. It is not consulting, not SEO work, and not a redesign — it is the routine upkeep that keeps a WordPress site healthy, secure, and up to date.

Most small business owners do not want to manage plugin updates, think about backup schedules, or troubleshoot a broken site after an auto-update fails. This plan handles that. You get a maintained site without learning WordPress maintenance yourself or paying consulting rates for it.

What Happens Each Month

A consistent monthly routine that runs in the background without requiring anything from you.

1

Updates applied

WordPress core, plugins, and themes are updated. Compatibility is checked before and after so updates do not break the site.

2

Backup verified

A clean backup is confirmed and stored. If something ever goes wrong, you have a reliable restore point.

3

Uptime and performance checked

Uptime monitoring runs continuously. Performance basics are checked monthly so slow pages or errors do not go unnoticed.

4

Minor edits applied

Small content changes, text updates, and minor fixes are handled as part of the plan so they do not pile up.

What's Included

Everything a small business WordPress site needs to stay healthy month to month.

WordPress core updates

Core, plugin, and theme updates applied carefully with compatibility checks to avoid breakage.

Monthly backup verification

Backups are confirmed stored and restorable so you always have a clean snapshot if something goes wrong.

Uptime monitoring

Continuous uptime checks so downtime is caught quickly rather than discovered by a customer.

Security scanning

Basic malware and security checks to catch common threats before they become real problems.

Minor content edits

Small text changes, image swaps, and similar minor edits included each month without a separate hourly charge.

Monthly summary

A short note each month on what was updated and anything worth your attention.

Care Plan Options

Two clear tiers depending on how much site activity and how many edits you typically need each month.

WordPress Care Plan with a Kansas City operating base

WordPress Care Plan can be framed for local, regional, or remote work without sounding like a generic city page. The point is to keep the real market context visible when it helps the offer make sense.

  • WordPress Care Plan that matches the market instead of a filler-heavy location template
  • Location language that reflects how the business actually sells and delivers
  • A page that still reads naturally when the work is local, regional, or remote

Operating base

The business is anchored in Overland Park, Kansas, so the local context can be stated directly instead of implied with vague SEO language.

How work gets done

Some projects need a nearby partner. Others are better handled remotely. The copy can say that plainly and still feel intentional.

Metro reach

We support Overland Park, Lenexa, Olathe, Shawnee, Prairie Village, Leawood, and the wider KC metro.

Remote delivery

When geography is not the selling point, the section can still support remote work without losing credibility.

Is This Right for You?

A care plan makes sense when you have a working WordPress site and want it maintained without managing it yourself.

Small business owners who do not want to manage WordPress updates and backups themselves

Businesses that had a site built and now need ongoing upkeep

Site owners who have had a plugin update break something and want that handled professionally

Businesses that want a low monthly cost for peace of mind, not a full consulting engagement

Anyone who discovered their site was hacked or down and wants prevention going forward

What This Is Not

The care plan covers maintenance and upkeep. Some things require a different service.

Not SEO work — that is a separate service

Not strategy consulting or digital marketing guidance

Not large design changes or new page builds

Not emergency development work at a flat monthly rate

Not a substitute for monthly consulting when you need ongoing input and oversight

WordPress maintenance is one of those things most small business owners do not think about until something breaks. A care plan is the simplest way to prevent the most common problems before they affect customers or business operations.

I handle this work directly and keep it practical. No bloated tooling or inflated monthly costs — just reliable upkeep at a rate that makes sense for a small business site.

Prevention over reaction

Regular updates and security checks prevent the kind of issues that cost far more to fix after the fact.

Consistent monthly rhythm

Maintenance runs on a predictable schedule so nothing gets missed or pushed off month after month.

Priced for small business

Flat monthly pricing that is easy to plan for without agency overhead or consulting minimums.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include SEO work?
No. The care plan covers maintenance and upkeep. SEO work is a separate service. If you want both, monthly consulting includes some of each — we can talk through which fits better.

What counts as a minor content edit?
Text changes, swapping images, updating a phone number or address, adjusting a page section, adding a simple block. Larger changes like new page builds or design revisions are outside scope and would be handled as hourly work.

What if something breaks after an update?
I check for compatibility issues before applying updates and catch most problems before they affect the live site. If something does break, fixing it is part of the service.

Do you need access to my site?
Yes. I need WordPress admin access and ideally hosting access to do updates and backups properly. I can walk you through how to share that access securely.

Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No long-term contract. Month-to-month with a simple cancellation process.

What if I need more edits than the plan includes?
Anything beyond the included edit time is billed at my standard hourly rate. I will flag it before going over so there are no surprises.
