The Risk of Not Having Your Site Properly Maintained
Website Hack
If your website isn’t maintained and protected, it’s not a question of “if” but “when” a hack will occur.
Poor Performance
If your website isn’t optimized, it’ll perform and load slower as times goes on affecting conversions and sales.
No Backups
If your website isn’t consistently backed up, you could completely lose your website’s content and progress when a breach happens.
SEO Implications
If your website isn’t maintained and optimized, Google knows and ranks sites that are digitally “alive.”
Downtime
If you're not getting reports, your website could be down for extended periods of time without you knowing.
It's All On You
By not having your website cared for monthly, everything we cover in our plan is on you and will cost you in tools, time and unneeded stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Never a cost to leave.
- If I am building or redesigning your site; there is no setup fee if you are joining our maintenance program straight away as part of the project.
- If it’s been more than six months since I built your site or if you have made changes to the site since I built it within those six months, there is a $150 setup fee.
- If I didn’t build your site the setup fee starts at $200. Contact me for details.
Sorry Charlie. They do not. The one hour resets each month. The monthly time is there for you every month and reserves your place in the queue.
If your site should get compromised while you’re on a plan – I’ll take care of cleaning the site and getting everything squared away at no extra cost to you. But have no fear; to date – I’ve had ZERO hacks or breaches with any sites on my maintenance plans.
I can take care of getting the site cleaned for an initial cleanup fee of $250 and then I can get your site on a monthly plan to make sure it remains clean and protected from hacks.
If you decide to decline a maintenance plan, there’s a lot that can go wrong. Here are the top reasons I recommend you make sure your website is maintained:
The site will not be optimized, which leads to poor performance, slow load 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The site’s tools, plugins, themes and WordPress itself will quickly go out of date which is the #1 leading cause of website hacks.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 especially important to keep ALL your website tools and plugins up-to-date.
You’ll have no backups or restore points so if your site get hacked or breached, you could lose all your content, pages and Google ranking.
You won’t have access to my professional plugins such as Elementor Pro. iThemes Security Pro, WP Rocket and others. Should you decide to purchase each of them on your own, the annual cost is $269 or $22/month.
Most importantly, you won’t have me as your trusted webmaster to assist you with quick updates, tweaks, website issues, etc.
What happens If I Don't Choose a Plan?
If you decline a paid maintenance plan and don’t maintain your site yourself, there’s a lot that can go wrong. Here are the top reasons I recommend you make sure your website is maintained:
- The site will not be optimized, which leads to poor performance, slow load 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 especially important to keep ALL your website tools and plugins up-to-date.
- You’ll have no backups or restore points so if your site get hacked or breached, you could lose all your content, pages and Google ranking.
- You won’t have access to specific professional plugins such as Elementor Pro. iThemes Security Pro, etc. Should you decide to purchase the professional plugins I used to create your site, the annual cost is approximately $269 or $22/month.
- I use the Elementor plugin to create and edit your site. You’ll still have access to the Elementor plugin (it’s free!) but to have your site continue to look and function properly, as well as to make any updates to your website, you’ll need the Elementor Pro plugin ($49/year).
- Most importantly, you won’t have me as your trusted webmaster to assist you with quick updates, tweaks, website issues, etc.
