Start / Maintain Care Plan

The month nothing went wrong took work.

Backups, updates, monitoring and a report, every month, done by people who look at what they are updating. From $69 a month, no contract, cancel by email.

Start from $69/mo See a month on the plan In business since 2017. 100+ sites maintained.
01 / What this prevents

Three things that go wrong quietly.

A

Updates pile up. Six months pass, then the one you finally run breaks the site, and nobody knows which one did it.

B

The backup was never tested. It exists, it runs nightly, and nobody has ever restored it. That is not a backup, it is a hope.

C

Nobody is watching. The site went down on Saturday. You found out on Monday, from a customer.

None of this is dramatic until the week it is, and it is never the week you have time for it.

02 / The decision

Do it yourself, or put it on a plan.

Handle it in house

Someone remembers to update when they can. Backups run somewhere. Monitoring is whether a customer emails you. It works, until the month it does not.

× A $79 fix, or worse, at the worst time

Maintain Care Plan

Weekly backups that get restore tested, updates applied with a fresh backup in place and checked afterward, continuous monitoring, and a report each month telling you what happened.

03 / A month on the plan

Here is what happens, and when.

Maintenance is a rhythm, not a service call. This is the shape of every month, whether or not you ask for anything.

04 / What is included

Six things, every month, for $69.

Backups Full site and database, weekly, stored off site and restorable. We test restores, because a backup nobody has restored is a rumour.
Updates Core, theme and plugins, applied with a fresh backup in place and checked afterward. If one breaks something, we roll it back and tell you.
Security monitoring Continuous checks for known vulnerabilities, suspicious activity and anything that appeared overnight.
Uptime monitoring If the site goes down we know, day or night, and we start work before you notice.
Monthly report What was updated, what was backed up, what we watched and anything worth your attention. One page, plain English.
Small requests This plan does not include content changes or small requests. A one-time fix covers a single problem. Ongoing changes belong on a Growth Plan.
05 / What is not

And the four things this plan does not cover.

We would rather you know now than find out when you ask. Each one has a better home, and we will point you at it even if it is not us.

Design and build work New pages, layouts and features Growth Plan →
Hack recovery If it is already compromised Hack recovery →
Migrations Moving hosts or domains Migration →
Custom development Plugins and integrations Custom builds →
The full boundary is written out on our scope of support page, which forms part of the agreement.
06 / From people on it

What it feels like after a year.

I used to spend hours updating plugins and troubleshooting issues. Now WP Mantis handles everything, my site runs faster and hasn’t gone down once in over a year.

Lisa R. / Maintain subscriber

It’s like having my own WordPress team on call. Everything runs smoothly, and I never have to worry about updates again.

Betty-Joy H. / Small business owner

I used to dread plugin updates. Now they just happen, and my site works perfectly every time.

07 / Your route

Which one is you?

Most people start in the middle. Pick another and the plan below changes.

Keep it alive

The site is fine. We just need somebody responsible for it.

Most clients Keep it alive, and keep it current

Maintenance plus a hand when something needs changing.

It needs more than upkeep

Honestly, the site is the problem. Maintaining it preserves the problem.

Complete Care $197 / month

Everything in Maintain, plus a standing hand for the small changes that come up: a page edit, a new form field, a plugin that needs configuring.

Route 1

Start the plan

Straightforward site, you want it handled. Order above and we start this week.

Route 2

Ask first

Custom code, several sites, or something unusual. Tell us and we will quote it properly.

Route 3

Something is broken now

Do not start a plan to fix today’s problem. Get the fix, then decide.

Common questions
How often are updates performed?

Backups run every week. Updates are applied with a fresh backup in place, then the site is checked. Security releases go on as soon as they land, not held for the cycle.

Will maintenance affect my live site?

Every update goes on with a fresh backup in place, and we check the site afterward. If something breaks, we roll it back and tell you what happened. If your site takes payments or memberships, Advanced Care adds staging so updates are tested before they reach the live site.

Do you monitor for hacks?

Yes, continuously. Cleanup after a compromise is a hack recovery job, not part of this plan. We will say so before any extra charge.

Can you improve my speed?

We watch it and fix the obvious things. Real performance work is a project, and we will tell you what it would involve rather than quietly adding it.

What about content changes and development?

Not on this plan. One off work is quoted, and if you need changes every month, a Growth Plan costs less than paying per request.

How do I cancel?

Email us. No notice period, no cancellation fee, and we hand over documentation and a final backup.

How we work
The quote is the price

If your site needs more than the plan, we say so before charging it.

We will tell you no

If maintenance is not what you need, we will say what is.

You own everything

Hosting, licences and backups in your name. Leave and it keeps running.

A person, not a portal

You email a developer, not a ticket queue.
