Care plan questions

No VAT is charged.

How do I get started?

Tell us where your site is hosted and what worries you about it. Sites we build start care on launch day. For a site someone else built, we start with a paid health check, fix anything agreed, then the monthly plan begins.

What’s included?

Hosting for one site, core, plugin and security updates, monthly backups, uptime monitoring and a monthly allowance of small edits: up to 15 minutes on Essential Care, 45 minutes on Business Care and 1.5 hours on Growth Care. Business Care adds a quarterly health check; Growth Care adds a plain-English monthly report with SEO checks.

How quickly do you respond if my site goes down?

Monitoring alerts us, and we aim to reply to urgent problems within 4 business hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. We tell you what’s wrong and what happens next, and restore from the latest monthly backup if that’s the fastest fix.

What counts as a small change?

Updating prices, opening hours or team members, swapping a photo, or adding a short new section. New pages and design changes are quoted before we start.

How much does website maintenance cost per month?

A fixed monthly fee for each of the three levels, shown on each plan. Sites we didn’t build get a health check first. See what moves the price or compare the plans.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. Move from Essential Care to Business or Growth Care when you want more edit time and a monthly report, and add local SEO when you want to be found nearby.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Every care plan has a 3-month minimum, then runs monthly with 30 days’ notice and no exit fee. If you leave, we help move your site and hand over your content.

Keep it running.

Tell us where your site is hosted and what worries you about it.

  1. We look at your site and hosting

  3. Care starts once you approve it
