Website maintenance, so the site you paid for still works next year.
Most websites are not attacked, they are abandoned. Plugins go a year without updating, a backup nobody tested turns out to be empty, and the first anyone notices is when the site is offline or serving somebody else's adverts. A care plan is the boring work that stops that, done monthly, with a report so you can see it happened.
What is actually done each month
Six things. Every one of them is work somebody has to do, and none of it is visible until it has not been done.
Updates, applied and then checked
WordPress, plugins and theme, on a staging copy first where the site warrants it. The checking is the part that matters: an update that silently breaks a contact form is worse than one never applied, because at least a broken site is obvious.
Backups kept somewhere else
Daily, held off the server, retained long enough to go back past a problem you did not notice immediately. A backup on the same machine as the site protects you from almost nothing.
A restore that has been rehearsed
Tested periodically on a copy. An untested backup is a belief, not a backup, and the moment you find out is always the worst possible moment.
Uptime watched
Checked every few minutes from outside your network, so we know before your customers tell you. Silence is not evidence that a site is up.
Security and spam
Login hardening, file change monitoring, and the form spam that arrives the week a site goes live. No plugin makes a site unhackable; keeping it current and watched is most of the real defence.
Small changes included
A price, a phone number, a new team photo, a page of copy. The changes too small to raise an invoice for are the ones that otherwise never get made.
What a plan does not cover
Said plainly, because the argument always happens at the wrong moment otherwise.
New pages and new features
Quoted separately. A care plan keeps what exists working; it is not an unlimited development retainer, and anyone selling it as one is pricing for the clients who never ask.
Hosting
Paid by you directly to your host, so the account stays in your name and you can leave whenever you like, including leaving us.
Rescuing a site somebody else broke
We will, and it is quoted as a one-off first. Taking on a site that has been unmaintained for three years is a repair, not maintenance.
Search and advertising
Different work entirely. Care keeps the site alive; SEO and advertising are what bring people to it.
What it costs
Care plans run from ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 a month depending on the size of the site and how much small-change time is included. No minimum term, cancel with a month’s notice, and your backups and access go with you. Hosting is separate and paid to your host. Full ranges are on the pricing page.
How a plan starts
An audit first, so you are not paying a monthly fee against a problem that needed fixing once.
-
Audit what exists
Versions, plugin sprawl, and whether the backups exist and actually restore. You get the findings in writing.
-
Quote any repair separately
Anything already broken or years out of date is a one-off, priced before the plan begins.
-
Take ownership of the credentials
Hosting, domain, WordPress and every plugin licence listed, and in accounts with your name on them. A site nobody can log into is one resignation away from being unrecoverable.
-
Set up monitoring and backups
Off-site backups running and uptime monitoring live before the first monthly cycle.
-
Prove a restore before the plan starts
One backup restored onto a copy, so we know it works rather than assume it. Everything after this is routine; this is the only step that tells you whether the safety net is actually there.
-
Monthly from then on
Updates applied and checked, a rehearsed restore, a security review and your small changes, with a report so you can see it happened.
Do I need this if you built the site?
Not contractually, no. The site is yours and you can maintain it yourself or hire anyone. What you should not do is nothing, which is the option most sites end up on.
Will you maintain a site you did not build?
Yes. We audit it first and quote any repair as a one-off before the plan starts, so you are not paying a monthly fee against a problem that needed fixing once.
What happens if the site goes down?
We find out from monitoring rather than from you, and restoring from an off-site backup is usually faster than diagnosing the cause. The diagnosis happens afterwards, on a copy.
Is a security plugin not enough?
A plugin blocks some things and reports others. It does not apply updates, it does not keep a backup you can restore, and it cannot tell whether the update it just allowed broke your checkout. Those need somebody looking.
Can I cancel?
Any month, with a month’s notice. You keep the site, the hosting, the backups and every credential. A maintenance plan that is hard to leave is a hostage arrangement rather than a service.
Send the URL and we will look at it
You get a written assessment of what is out of date and what it would take to keep it current, whether or not you take a plan.
