WordPress Care Plans
Ongoing WordPress support for business websites
Your website needs looking after after it goes live. Our WordPress Care Plans help keep your site updated, secure, supported and ready for the day-to-day needs of your business.
Do not leave your website to go stale
A WordPress website is not something you should ignore for years. Plugins, themes, security, content, forms and functionality all need attention. A care plan gives your business a clear route for ongoing help.
- Updates handled properly
- Support when something needs fixing
- Help with practical website changes
- A long-term partner for your website
Why care plans matter
Your website needs maintenance, not neglect
WordPress is powerful because it can grow with your business. But like any serious business system, it needs care. Updates, security checks, backups, hosting, content changes and support all matter if the website is going to stay useful.
WordPress updates
WordPress core, themes and plugins need regular attention. Updates help keep your site more secure, stable and compatible.
Security support
Care plans help reduce avoidable risk by keeping software current and giving you somewhere to turn if something looks wrong.
Backups and recovery
If something goes wrong, backups give you a route back. They are a basic part of looking after a business website properly.
Website fixes
Forms, layouts, plugins and content can break or behave unexpectedly. A care plan gives you a support route when issues appear.
Content changes
Businesses change. Services, prices, team details, images and calls to action often need updating after launch.
Mobile checks
Small changes can affect how a page looks on mobile. Ongoing support helps keep the site usable across devices.
Practical advice
You get help from people who understand websites, WordPress, hosting, email and the commercial reality of local business.
Support you can reach
When something needs attention, you are not dealing with an anonymous platform. You have a local team to contact.
Care plan pricing
WordPress support for existing websites
If your WordPress website was built elsewhere, we can usually take over ongoing support after reviewing the site. Because existing websites can vary widely in quality, setup and history, we price this separately from websites we have built ourselves.
WordPress Care Plan
For businesses that already have a WordPress website and want reliable ongoing support, updates and practical help from a local team.
- Initial review of your existing WordPress website
- WordPress core, theme and plugin update support
- Help with small fixes and practical website issues
- Backup, hosting and security advice
- Clear support route when something needs attention
* Prices exclude VAT. VAT is charged where applicable. Subject to an initial website review.
Included with managed websites
When we build and host your website, ongoing care is already part of the managed website service. We know the setup, the hosting, the plugins and the structure, which makes the support simpler and more predictable.
If your existing WordPress site is expensive or awkward to maintain, a rebuild may be the better long-term option. It can reduce ongoing support costs and give you a cleaner, more reliable website from the start.

Avoidable website problems
Most website problems are easier to prevent than fix later
A neglected website can slowly become insecure, outdated, slow, broken or inaccurate. Care plans are about reducing that risk and keeping your website in working order.
Care plans help avoid:
- Outdated WordPress plugins and themes
- Broken contact forms or enquiry routes
- Old content that no longer reflects the business
- Security problems from neglected software
- No clear support route when something goes wrong
How support works
Clear help without making everything complicated
A care plan should make website support easier, not harder. We keep the arrangement clear, explain what is included and let you know before larger work becomes chargeable.
We review the website first
For websites we did not build, we check the setup before taking on support so we understand what condition the site is in.
We look after the basics
Updates, checks, backups and hosting-related support can be handled as part of an ongoing website care arrangement.
We advise before bigger work
Larger changes, new sections, redesign work or extra functionality are quoted clearly before work begins.
Your site keeps improving
Instead of being left untouched, your website can be updated, refined and improved as your business changes.
Hosting and care together
The best support happens when hosting and care are connected
When we host and support a website, we understand the setup properly. That makes it easier to deal with updates, performance, backups, forms, email issues and practical website changes.
We know the website
Support is faster and more practical when the same team understands the hosting, WordPress setup and business context.
Fewer moving parts
You are not juggling separate designers, hosting companies, plugin support teams and email providers for every issue.
Clearer responsibility
If something needs attention, you have a more obvious place to go rather than being passed between suppliers.
Who this is for
Care plans are for businesses that rely on their website
If your website helps customers understand your business, make enquiries, request quotes or buy from you, then it should be maintained properly.
Local business websites
For businesses that need their website to look professional, stay online and keep generating enquiries.
Older WordPress websites
Useful if your site has not been maintained properly and you need a clearer support arrangement.
Growing businesses
A good fit if your pages, services, team, content and calls to action need regular small improvements.
Clients who want less hassle
Ideal if you would rather have someone reliable to contact than manage plugins, updates and hosting yourself.
WordPress care plan FAQs
Questions people ask about ongoing website support
Ongoing website support is often misunderstood. These answers explain what a care plan is for and why it matters.
What is a WordPress Care Plan?
A WordPress Care Plan is an ongoing support arrangement for your website. It can include updates, checks, backups, practical support, small changes and advice to help keep your WordPress website healthy after launch.
Why does WordPress need ongoing care?
WordPress websites use themes, plugins and software that change over time. If they are not maintained, the website can become outdated, insecure, slow or unreliable.
How much is the WordPress Care Plan?
Our WordPress Care Plan for existing WordPress websites is £49.95 per month, excluding VAT. This applies to suitable websites after an initial review of the current setup.
Why is the care plan different for websites built by you?
Websites we build and host are already part of our managed website service. Because we know the setup from the start, ongoing care is simpler and more predictable than taking over an unknown WordPress website built elsewhere.
Are updates included?
Updates can be included as part of a care plan, depending on the arrangement. We handle updates carefully and can advise if a larger issue appears during the process.
Can you make changes to my website?
Yes. We can help with content edits, small fixes and practical improvements. Larger changes, new pages or new functionality are quoted clearly before work begins.
Do care plans include hosting?
Hosting and care plans are closely connected, but they are not always the same thing. We can advise on the right setup depending on whether your site is hosted with us and what level of support you need.
What happens if something breaks?
If something goes wrong, you have a clear support route. We can investigate the issue, advise on the likely cause and explain what is needed to fix it.
Is every change included for free?
No. Small support tasks may be included depending on the plan, but larger work is quoted separately. This keeps things fair, clear and sustainable.
Can you support a website you did not build?
Sometimes, yes. We would need to review the website first to understand how it has been built, what condition it is in and whether it is sensible for us to support it.
What if my website has been neglected for years?
We can review it and advise honestly. Sometimes a care plan is enough; other times the website may need repair work, cleanup, hosting changes or a redesign before ongoing support makes sense.
