This is not a hosting upsell. It is a maintenance relationship with one engineer who knows your site, answers your emails, and fixes things before you find out they are broken.

Choosing a plan
Which plan is right for you?
Essentials, £49/month
For straightforward WordPress sites where your primary requirement is regular backups, security monitoring, and managed updates. If your site goes down overnight, you notice in the morning and it can wait until business hours.
Professional, £69/month
For business sites where downtime or a performance problem has a direct commercial impact. Uptime and performance monitoring means problems are caught immediately, not when a client calls to tell you. Includes one hour of developer time per month for minor adjustments and fixes.
Premier, £99/month
For WooCommerce stores and complex sites where any downtime is lost revenue. Hourly off-site backups, dedicated ecommerce support, and two hours of developer time per month. If your site takes payments, Premier is the appropriate tier.
The short answer
What is a WordPress care plan?
A WordPress care plan is an ongoing maintenance subscription. Someone takes responsibility for keeping your site updated, backed up, monitored and secure, so the work happens on a schedule instead of in a panic.
WordPress is not finished when it launches. Core, theme and plugin updates arrive constantly, and every one of them is either a small chance to break something or a patched vulnerability you are exposed to until you apply it. A site left alone does not stay still. It drifts, and the distance between it and current WordPress becomes the thing that eventually takes it down.
Sites tend to fail in one of three ways. An unattended update quietly breaks a form or a checkout and nobody notices for a fortnight. A known plugin vulnerability gets exploited weeks after the fix was published. Or something goes wrong and the only backup turns out to have been sitting on the server that failed.
A care plan is the arrangement that stops all three from being your problem.
What You Get
No guesswork. No filler.
Off-site backups
Backups stored off-server in a geographically separate location and tested to confirm they are actually restorable. Essentials runs weekly, Professional runs daily, Premier runs hourly. You will never hear "the backup was on the server that failed."
Staged updates
Core, theme, and plugin updates are applied to a staging copy of your site first, verified against core functionality, then pushed live. An update that breaks staging does not touch your live site.
Security monitoring, malware detection and recovery
Continuous 24/7 monitoring for malware, intrusion attempts, and file integrity changes. The goal is to catch problems while they are minor. If something does get through, cleanup and recovery are included on every tier, including Essentials. You will not be handed an incident invoice for the privilege.
Performance and uptime monitoring
Included in Professional and Premier plans. Continuous uptime checks with immediate alerts on downtime, and performance monitoring so degradation is caught before it affects your users or your rankings.
Developer time
Professional plans include one hour of developer time per month for minor technical tasks, fixes, adjustments, small improvements. Premier includes two hours. Unused hours do not roll over.
Ecommerce support
Premier plan includes dedicated WooCommerce support: checkout health monitoring, order processing oversight, and priority response for any issue that affects your ability to trade.
The boundaries
What a care plan does not cover.
Care plans cover maintenance, not unlimited work. Being straight about where the line sits is what keeps the price honest.
New features, redesigns and content
Page builds, redesigns, new functionality and copywriting are separate projects. They get scoped and quoted before anything starts.
Hosting
You keep your own hosting account in your own name, with your own control of it. I will tell you plainly if your host is the problem, but I do not resell hosting and I do not hold your site hostage.
Developer time on Essentials
Essentials is maintenance only. Professional includes one hour of developer time a month and Premier includes two. Unused hours do not roll over.
Fixing a site that is already broken
If onboarding turns up serious underlying problems, I scope that as a remediation project first and the plan starts once the site is in a maintainable state. Taking on maintenance for a site that cannot be maintained serves neither of us.
Anything outside the plan gets quoted before it happens. You will never receive an invoice you did not agree to.

Questions
What people usually ask.
Do I need a WordPress care plan?
Answer three questions. When was your last plugin update applied, and did anyone check the site afterwards? Where is your most recent backup stored, and has anyone restored from it to confirm it works? If your site went down at 7pm on a Friday, who would notice? If any of those made you uneasy, that is what a care plan is for.
How much should a WordPress care plan cost?
UK care plans range from a few pounds a month for fully automated services to several hundred for agency retainers with included development time. The useful question is what is actually being done for the money: whether updates are tested before they go live, whether backups are stored off the server and verified as restorable, and whether a person or a script is watching. Mine start at £49 a month and every tier includes tested updates and off-site backups.
Can you take over a site someone else built?
Yes, and most of them are. I do not need to have built a site to maintain it. Onboarding includes an audit of what is installed, what is out of date, and what previous developers have left behind. Where that audit finds problems too large for a maintenance plan to absorb, I scope them as separate work rather than quietly carrying them.
What happens if my site is hacked while it is on a plan?
I deal with it. Malware and intrusion detection, cleanup, and recovery are included on every tier, Essentials included. That means removing the infection, closing the entry point that allowed it, and restoring from a verified off-site backup where restoration is the right answer. There is no separate incident fee and no upsell to a higher tier at the worst possible moment.
Can I cancel at any time?
Monthly plans require 30 days' written notice to cancel. Annual plans run to their renewal date. There are no lock-in penalties beyond the billing period you are in.
What does "staged updates" mean in practice?
Before any update touches your live site, I apply it to a staging copy. I verify core functionality: forms, checkout if applicable, key pages. If anything breaks, I investigate and resolve it before the update goes live. If a plugin update is fundamentally broken, it does not get applied until the plugin is fixed.
Does the plan cover development work?
Essentials does not include development time. Professional includes one hour per month and Premier includes two hours. These cover minor tasks and adjustments. Larger development work is scoped and priced separately.
Can I start a care plan after a one-off project?
Yes, and this is the most common path. Many clients engage me for a specific project such as a performance audit, security hardening or crash recovery, then move onto a care plan once the site is in good shape.
What if my site needs significant work before it is ready for maintenance?
If onboarding reveals significant underlying problems, I will scope a remediation project first. I do not take on maintenance for sites that are not in a maintainable state. That is not in your interest or mine.
Is there a saving on annual plans?
Yes. Annual billing works out to approximately 15 percent less than paying monthly: Essentials at £499/year (£41.58/month), Professional at £699/year (£58.25/month), and Premier at £999/year (£83.25/month).
Not sure which plan fits?
Send me your URL and what you are worried about. I will tell you which tier is right for the site, or tell you that you do not need one. No obligation, no sales process.
