As technology evolves, website software is constantly being updated to make it more secure, faster and more visible to search engines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a care plan and why do I need one?
Your website is your 24-hour salesperson for your business and service/products, so it is important to look after it.
I have seen too many small business website owners lose control of their sites over time.
You can totally take responsibility for this yourself but if you want me to do this for you, I’ve got your back! I help you to get that peace of mind that all software is up to date, secure against any unwelcome attacks and that it is actually online and operational for your customers and users.
Do you host emails?
We do NOT manage emails. We highly recommend you host your emails on a server and platform separate from your website for security reasons.
Some great platforms for emails include Zoho, Rackspace, Office 365 and Google Suite which do a great job for email management.
I can help you set it up (adding nameservers, DNS etc) as part of VIP Day if you need help with the technical part.
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.
If I only make a few changes to my site in a year why do I need a Care Plan?
Technology is ever-evolving and the software needs to keep up. Updates to WordPress are crucial to ensure that your site isn’t vulnerable to a hack or malware.
We also update your WordPress plugins. These 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.
Can I host my website somewhere else?
Yes, but you will be responsible for acquiring the premium plugins we use for your website, including the premium theme, plugins, and the booking system page that I use for your website.
Our plan doesn’t only give you fast secured hosting but also peace of mind on your website performance, as well as access to our premium plugins (worth $550/year), troubleshooting, backups, and speed maintenance.
For a price of less than a cup of coffee a day your website will be maintained, looked after, and optimised for your business.
What are premium plugin licenses?
Although WordPress is an open source platform, the themes and plugins vary in scope, quality and price.
I work only on with the best professional themes and plugins that make it really easy for you to use and update your website.
In order to get support from the developers of the themes and plugins, as well as automated security updates, you need to pay for a license.
As care plan customers, you will have the benefit of using my developer license which will allow me to use it on your websites.
Can you help me with ad-hoc support if I come across problems and I am not on your care plan?
Absolutely! You can book me for a quarter or half-day to help you troubleshooting or you can book me adhoc for $150/hr (including email support).
Keep in mind though, my calendar is often full and you might have to wait for a free day.
When I complete your website, you’ll receive a copy of The Website Owner’s Manual which will help you keep track of all the important details about your website; including logins, hosting setup, DNS records, routine maintenance, & answers to my most frequently asked questions to help you have continued success with your website should you wish to give it a go on your own.
Can I cancel my hosting/careplan?
You can cancel anytime.
Just simply email me and I will package up your website files and deliver them over to you to host, manage and maintain your own website moving forward in 7 days. We’ll include a copy of The Website Owner’s Manual which will help you keep track of all the important details about your website; including logins, routine maintenance, & answers to our most frequently asked questions to help you have continued success with your website.
You will be responsible for acquiring the premium plugins we use for your website but we will give you the list so you can purchase it yourself.
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.
