Your website, looked after. $59 a month.
Updates, backups, security, hosting and a real person to email when something breaks. No lock-in, no ticket queue, and no surprise invoices.
A website is not furniture. It needs maintaining.
Security holes open quietly
Most WordPress sites are not hacked through clever targeting. They are found by automated scanners looking for one outdated plugin, and the owner finds out when Google flags the site.
Things break without a sound
A form that stops sending, a payment button that silently fails, a page that breaks on mobile after an update. Nobody reports it. The enquiries just stop arriving.
Backups only matter beforehand
Every site owner who lost their website had been meaning to sort out backups. We keep weekly backups with a 30-day history, and we test that they restore.
Everything included for $59 a month
About content updates: send them over and we do them. We do not run a stopwatch or make you count requests. If your needs genuinely outgrow the plan we will say so and suggest an upgrade — not a surcharge.
Wondering how $59 compares to the wider market? We published real prices from providers across the UK, US, Australia and Europe in our website maintenance cost guide.
What Care covers, and what gets quoted
No lock-in. Ever.
Billed quarterly
$59 a month, charged as $177 every three months. Annual works out at $590 — two months free. Cancel at the end of any cycle.
Your domain, your name
Registered to you, on your email. We are the technical contact, nothing more. You could leave tomorrow and take everything with you.
Free exit migration
If you move on, we export the full site — files and database — and migrate it to your new host within 30 days at no cost.
Only one provider in 27 publicly offers free exit migration. We know because we counted — see the Website Care Plan Transparency Study.

Website Care, answered plainly
How much does website maintenance cost?
Our Website Care plan is $59 a month, billed quarterly at $177. Across the wider market you will see anywhere from $30 to $500 a month: the very cheapest tiers are automated update services with ticket-queue support, while $150 and above usually buys included content hours and priority response. Ours sits at the low end on price and the human end on service.
What is actually included for $59 a month?
Managed hosting, WordPress core, plugin and theme updates, weekly backups with a 30-day history, uptime and security monitoring, bug fixes and troubleshooting, content updates to text, images and business information, one business day response, and a monthly health report written in plain English.
Is hosting included or do I pay separately?
Included. There is no separate hosting bill on a Care or Digital Growth plan. If you are on a one-time build with no plan, we configure hosting on your own account instead and hand it over to you.
Do I still own my website and domain?
Yes, completely. Your domain is registered in your name on your own email address, and you hold full administrator access from day one. We are listed only as the technical contact.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Care is billed quarterly and you can stop at the end of any cycle. If you leave, we export the full site — files and database — and migrate it to whichever host you choose, free, within 30 days.
How many content changes can I request?
Send them over and we do them. There is a fair-use allowance of about an hour a month which rolls over up to three hours, but we do not run a stopwatch or make you count requests. If your needs genuinely outgrow the plan we will suggest an upgrade rather than a surcharge.
What is not covered by a care plan?
New pages, new sections, plugin integrations, landing pages, speed optimisation projects, full redesigns, new websites, online stores and custom functionality. Anything outside the plan is quoted and approved before we start — you will never get an invoice for something you did not know would be billed.
Can you maintain a website you did not build?
Often, yes. We start with a free 20-minute review, because inheriting somebody else’s work carries real risk. If it needs deeper investigation we offer a full written audit for $150, credited back if you go ahead. If the site is genuinely beyond maintaining we will say so and quote a rebuild instead.
How often do you apply updates?
Monthly as standard, with critical security patches applied as soon as they are released. Updates are checked after applying, not fired blindly, because a plugin conflict that breaks a contact form is worse than a slightly older plugin.
What happens if my site goes down?
Monitoring alerts us, and we investigate immediately. If a recent change caused it we roll back from the most recent backup. Response is within one business day as standard, and materially faster in practice for anything that takes a site offline.
