HOUSEKEEPING

Keep Your Website Safe & Up to Date!

Pssst...Do you look at your website every day?

Probably not. And that’s okay! But you really should be checking in with your site once a month. And if that’s not on your to-do list, you can add it to mine.

Housekeeping is my monthly care plan for WordPress Websites. When your site is on a Housekeeping plan, it’s in safe hands! I keep it up to date, secure, and am available on email to answer questions (almost) any time. 

Housekeeping Plans are $75/mo and are invoiced through Freshbooks. Look at the details below to see the whole list of what’s included in each care plan.

FAQs

Because, believe it or not, all websites, big and small, are targets for being hacked. And once you’re hacked, if you don’t have a clean backup, your site is… poof. Gone. Updates make sure that any loopholes for hackers to get in are updated on the regular and backups make sure that you have something to fall back on in case of a hack.

Sure! Follow these instructions here. And please put it in your calendar – and don’t ignore that reminder! If you don’t feel qualified or just don’t have the time, your website is vulnerable. Let me handle these tech tasks for you.

That’s why I always do a backup first! That way, we never lose anything – we simply go back to the clean install before the hack.

I’ll send you a recurring invoice via Freshbooks to sign up for automatic monthly or yearly payments. Cancel any time through your Freshbooks login. If you cancel, we will keep your backups for 1 month.
