EmpowerTech Care Plan

WordPress Maintenance Plans That Keep Your Site Healthy

Updates, backups, and security for your WordPress site, handled by someone you can actually reach. My WordPress maintenance plans work with the host you already have, so nothing has to move.

Two plans

From $35/month

Any WordPress host

Your website needs regular care, and you have a business to run.

WordPress asks for a lot of small things. A plugin wants an update. Then the theme does. Then WordPress itself. Skip them and your site gets easier to break into. Run them yourself and you are one bad update away from a page that will not load and no idea how to fix it.

Most business owners do not have time to log in every week and hope for the best. A care plan means someone is checking on your site, running updates safely, and ready to put things back if something goes wrong.

What You Get With a WordPress Maintenance Plan

Both plans take updates off your plate. Care Complete adds the security and backup protection most sites need.

Updates Done for You

I check for updates regularly and apply them for you. Security updates go in right away, and other updates wait a bit first so they are less likely to break anything.

Free Restore If Something Breaks

If an update causes a problem, I put your site back and check that it works, at no extra cost.

Monthly Report

A plain English summary of what was updated and how your site is doing.

Customized Dashboard

A cleaner WordPress dashboard with your logo on it. Update notices are hidden on purpose, since I am handling them for you.

Discounted Hourly Rate

Need a fix or a change outside your plan? Care clients pay less than my regular rate.

Any WordPress Site

Your site stays with your current host, no matter who built it.

Added with Care Complete

Everything in Care Essentials, plus your own backups and a security watch that never clocks out.

  • 24/7 security monitoring and fixes: I watch for hacks, suspicious logins, malware, and known plugin risks around the clock, and clean things up if something gets through.
  • Independent backups twice a day, kept for 14 days: stored separately from your host, so a problem with your host does not take your backups with it.
  • A fresh backup before every update: if an update goes wrong, there is always a copy from right before it.
  • A custom login URL and user monitoring: your login page moves to a private address, and I keep an eye on who logs in.
  • A fuller monthly report: updates, backups, users, and security results in one place.

How Your WordPress Care Plan Works

1

Pick your plan and take the quick survey.

Each plan has a short survey about your site, like how old it is, how many plugins it has, and who has been looking after it.

Your part: Answer the questions as best you can. “I’m not sure” is a fine answer.

2

Get your terms.

As soon as you submit the survey, you get the terms agreement that fits your site. If your site is ready, you can start right away. If it needs a plugin audit first, your terms explain why and include the audit, so there are no surprises.

Your part: Review the terms and complete your payment.

3

Get set up.

I get access to your site and your hosting account, then set up your updates, your customized dashboard, monitoring, and (with Care Complete) your backups and security.

Your part: Share your site and hosting logins. Hosting access is what lets me restore your site if something goes wrong.

4

Stay covered.

I handle the upkeep, send your monthly report, and put things back if an update causes a problem.

Your part: Read your report and reach out when you need something.

Once you are set up, your site is covered month after month without you having to think about it.

Pricing

Pick the level of care your site needs. Pay monthly, or pay for the year and get two months free.

Care Essentials

Is a Care Plan a Fit?

A care plan is a great fit if you:

  • Have a WordPress site and are happy with where it is hosted
  • Do not want to log in to run updates yourself
  • Want to know your site is backed up and being watched
  • Have a site someone else built and no one is looking after it now
  • Want a monthly report that tells you how your site is doing in plain English

You might need a different service if you:

WordPress Care Plan Questions, Answered

A WordPress maintenance plan is ongoing care for your site. I handle the updates, keep an eye on your site, and put things back if an update causes a problem. Your site stays with your current host, and you get a monthly report so you always know how it is doing. My maintenance plans are called EmpowerTech Care Plans.

Care Essentials covers updates and relies on your host’s backups if something needs to be restored. Care Complete adds independent backups twice a day and before every update, 24/7 security monitoring and fixes, a custom login URL, and user monitoring. If you are not sure your host keeps good backups, Care Complete is the safer choice.

A care plan is for keeping your site where it is. Most hosting only keeps your server running. It does not run your updates, check that nothing broke, or keep backups somewhere other than the host itself. Care Complete does all three. If you would rather move your site and have hosting and care in one place, that is what Hassle-Free Hosting is for.

Not always. Newer sites, sites with only a few plugins, and sites that have been maintained regularly can usually start right away. The quick survey checks whether your site needs a cleanup first. If it does, your terms explain why and include the audit before you pay anything.

Yes. Care plans are open to any WordPress site, no matter who built it or where it is hosted. The survey checks what shape your site is in before we start. If your site is very out of date, a plugin audit gets it ready for regular care.

I restore your site and check that everything is working again, at no extra cost. With Care Essentials, I use your host’s backups. With Care Complete, I use your most recent independent backup.

Restores happen through your hosting account, even when your host keeps the backups. Without that access, I cannot put your site back quickly if something goes wrong.

I check for updates regularly. Security updates go in right away. For other updates, I usually wait a bit before applying them, so they are less likely to break anything on your site.

Every plan comes with a cleaner WordPress dashboard that shows your logo, with update notices hidden since I am handling them for you.

A care plan covers the upkeep that keeps your site healthy. Edits, new features, and fixes outside that are billed at a discounted hourly rate for care clients. If you need help regularly, a Support Stack gives you prepaid hours ready to use.

Not on these plans. Online stores need more attention than a standard care plan covers. Get in touch and we can talk through custom care and pricing for your store.

Yes. You can move between Care Essentials and Care Complete, or cancel anytime. Send your cancellation request in writing to support@studio117creative.com, and your plan stays active through the end of your current payment period. Payments are nonrefundable, including annual plans.

Yes. Paying for the year gets you two months free: $350/year for Care Essentials and $500/year for Care Complete.

Hand off the updates and stop wondering if your site is okay.
