Let’s take care of your investment
Stress Free Care
Let’s face it, worrying about plugins and backups is probably not why you started your Passion business.
But lucky for you – I did!
With the WordPress Maintenance & Care plans I’ll take on the complexities of WordPress maintenance so you can focus on growing your business!
What is in the plan?
Once your website is live, it’s not only important to protect it from malware and hacks that can take your site down and affect your Google rankings but it’s also important to keep the tools in the site updated to make sure the site is running quickly and efficiently.
WEBSITE UPDATES
Just like your phone has software updates, your website needs to be updated too. Additionally, out-of-date plugins are the #1 leading cause of website hacks. I will take care of weekly updates for you.
MONITORING & SECURITY
I have special tools that monitor your sites’ traffic and activity, protect against potential hacks or breaches and keep an eye on “up time” to ensure your site is up and running fine.
WEBSITE BACKUPS
Backing up your website consistently is critical for many reasons but most importantly, if the site should need to be restored, transferred or downloaded, I offer external backups and restore points.
WEBSITE OPTIMIZATION
In order for websites to load fast, perform well and to ensure speed, the files, database and media need to be optimized. I have special tools that keep your site optimized and running smoothly along with cleaning up any and all “web gunk.”
MONTHLY REPORTING
You shouldn’t have to try to determine what’s going on via your site. I will take care of that for you with an in-depth (but not overwhelming) monthly report which also highlights what I have been doing month to month on your site.
PRIORITY SUPPORT
You as a client get priority support. I’ll set up exclusive contact details for you to ping me with whenever you need an update, addition or when you have any questions and we do our best to get back with you within 24hrs on business days. (P.S. It’s always sooner 😉
The risk of not having your site properly maintained
Here are just a few of the most common scenarios of unprotected sites:
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 time 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 prefers sites that are digitally “alive.”
WEBSITE LEGITIMACY
If your website has any glaring issues such as a down SSL Certificate or notices of an unsecure connection, it affects traffic and brand legitimacy.
STRESS FOR 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.
The good news is…
I’ve got you covered!
You don’t have to maintain your own website and go it alone.
I offer a perfect plan for your website so that you can rest easy and have me in your corner every month, taking care of these complex, confusing and ever-evolving issues in the digital world that YOU shouldn’t have to focus on.

Some answers to the most frequently asked questions
FAQ’s
Are there cancellation fees?
Nope! The website care plan is monthly or annual with a no-risk, no questions asked guarantee. If for any reason you need to pull your website from the hosting or maintenance plan, you have complete freedom to do so. Your plan is simply billed out for the month or year that’s paid for.
Are there any setup fees?
If I’m building your website, there is no set up fee as long as it’s within a 90 day period.
If, after 90 days, you’d like to join the hosting/maintenance plan at any level, there is a €99 set up fee because I need to update all tools, clean up the database if it hasn’t been cleared, install my tools and backup the site among other tasks.
If I’m onboarding a website I did not design, there is a €250 setup fee.
What if I pass on the plan?
The maintenance plan is not mandatory for clients but is highly recommended because of the importance of security, optimization, updates, backups, support, etc.
That said, if you choose to forego the care plan, you’re welcome to. You will, in that case, assume complete responsibility for the website updates, security, backups and other services laid out in this plan by reviewing the liability clause that releases Passion Kick-Starter from any involvement if and when the website is breached, hacked or performs slowly because the lack of proper optimization.
Can I join the plan if I originally pass?
Absolutely! If you decide to come back to me after having initially passed on the plan due to the work that’s involved in order to properly maintain the site, we’ll welcome you to the plan with open arms and make sure your site is protected and cared for. See the setup fees question above for additional information about onboarding a site after 90 days.
What if I require more time than the monthly support time allows?
I will always try to get your updates done within the allocated time to save you some extra cost . If you have updates that will require more time, I will provide you an estimate of time and do that at our hourly rate.
What if the site gets hacked or breached while on the plan?
In the extremely unlikely event that a website is breached or hacked in any way while on our plan, we take full responsibility and will rectify the situation immediately. You will not need to do a thing.
Do you take on sites that you didn't build?
I will take on websites I didn’t build as long as they are built on WordPress and use Divi theme. Additionally, the site’s hosting must be one that meets requirements.
Do you offer price breaks for multiple sites?
Absolutely! If you choose to have me maintain additional sites under your account, you’ll get a 30% discount (monthly or annual) for every site you add which will be active for as long as I maintain the sites.
Does my monthly update time roll over?
No, the retainer of hourly updates is covered for that month but does not rollover or add up for later use.
What's included in the monthly time?
Your monthly time (for Advanced plan) covers any updates, additions or add-ons to your website. For example, changing hours, company information, staff or team members, adding new photos, updating services pages, uploading blog posts etc.
While we do our best to get updates done within your allotted time, if more time is required, we can do so with our hourly rate (which for Advanced Plan is discounted).
Note: The allotted monthly time is for work or updates on the existing website and cannot be used for other projects or a step by step website revamp. We’re happy to do those things either via our discounted hourly rate or via a discounted and separate fixed project!
NO-RISK GUARANTEE
The maintenance plans come with a no-risk, no-questions-asked guarantee. In the unlikely event that you want to pull your site the plan, you only pay for the month or year you’ve paid for and you’ll be provided with all site files and logins.
