Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I don't keep my website up to date
Contrary to what people believe, websites are not set and forget.
If you don’t keep your website core, theme, and plugins up to date, your website is at risk of not performing well or getting down, slow, and more importantly at risk of getting unwanted attacks.
While you have your plugins in tact, not updating your WordPress and plugins might break the website or stop it to function the way it should be.
the hosting already provides back ups, why do I need a care plan?
Most of hosting providers offer automatic back-ups, but they don’t update your WordPress, plugins or optimising your website.
You see, WordPress plugins are created by multiple authors, and are consistently updated to newer versions to comply with the latest version of WordPress, or to address security issues and bugs. It is not guaranteed that the mandated updates to WordPress will not break the website, nor that plugins will continue to function if not updated.
For this reason, having a trained web specialist on hand to monitor the website is necessary to update plugins, rollback plugins, replace plugins or even adjust the theme to continue optimal performance.
But my website is tiny!!
Website is just like your mobile phone. In order for it to be reliable, it needs a properly executed care regardless the size of your website.
The care plan must include:
- Plugin updates
- Uptime monitoring
- Security scans
- Performance scans
- Backups
The number of plugins and type of plugins on your site determine how often you should update your website.
Do you host emails?
We currently do NOT manage emails. We highly recommend you host your emails on a server and platform separate from your website for security reasons. There are plenty of great platforms such as Zoho, Office 365 and Google Suite which do a great job for email management.
Why is there a surcharge for woocommerce/membership website?
Woo-commerce, membership and event plugins required more complicated maintenance. There are also more troubleshooting issues that are can occurred such as:
- Email deliverables
- Database updates
- Your website also required more resources in hosting to ensure the features work properly and you are not losing sales because of the hosting performance.
For these reasons, woocommerce/membership sites have a $25/month surcharge.
WHAT IF I SAY NO TO YOUR PLAN?
What we provide is peace of mind knowing that your website is being looked after.
Here are the top reasons I recommend you make sure your website is maintained, either by yourself or by an expert:
- The site will not be optimized which leads to poor performance, slow loading times and a gradual loss of Google SEO rankings.
- The site’s tools, plugins, themes and WordPress itself will quickly go out of date which is the #1 leading cause of website hacks. It’s incredibly important to keep ALL your website tools and plugins up-to-date.
- You’ll have no backups or restore points so if the site get hacked or breached, you could lose all your content, pages and Google ranking.
- You won’t get a monthly report overviewing your site traffic, page views, etc.
- Most importantly, you won’t have us as your trusted webmaster to assist you with quick updates, tweaks, website issues, etc. Often you’ll have to try getting a hold of your hosting company for any assistance.
Has it been a while?
If your website hasn’t been updated for while, you can request our Boost Plan. Please not that we might require that you start with this before signing up to our Care Plan (this will be provided on discount rate) if your site hasn’t been maintained for quite a while.
We will:
- Optimise your site for fast and smooth performance
- Update your WordPress Core + necessary plugins to minimise the chance of hackers and gremlins crawling into your website
- Running the latest version of WordPress Platform
- Fast and smooth and optimised for efficient performance
- Up to date and secure from hackers and gremlins
- Backed up remotely
- Running the latest and greatest versions of the WordPress platform
- Spam & Revisions clean up
- Database optimisation
1.5 hour design & dev time is included and you’ll also receive a report on any improvements you can make to get it working the way you want.
I don't want to sign up to your careplan, but what happen if I need your assistance to update the website?
Just like a car, a regular service and maintenance is better for your website than fixing a broken machine. You are at risk of having a non functioned website.
If you have any problems with your site and you are not with our care plan, we can take a look and give you a quote on case per case base. There will be a charge for the initial consultation to identify problems, and we have a right to refuse to fix if it has been tampered by the third party.
Does the monthly time rollover?
You can take comfort in the fact that we will schedule your request within 24 hours after you contact us.
What happens if my website goes down or hacked?
In case this happens, we will be right by your side to communicate with your web hosting on your behalf.
We will also assist in restoration and clean up with one of our backups.
