WEBSITE MANAGEMENT & CARE

The site is done. Now someone has to actually keep it that way.

WordPress isn’t “set and forget” – plugins go out of date, updates break layouts, and a site that isn’t watched quietly gets slower and less secure every month. Care plans exist because most business owners would rather run their business than babysit a CMS. This is that, handled monthly, by the same person who built the site – not a support ticket queue.

Why This Matters

What actually goes wrong on an unmaintained WordPress site

Plugins and WordPress core fall out of date, which is the single most common way small business sites get hacked
A plugin update breaks a layout or a form, and nobody notices until a customer mentions the contact form doesn’t work
No backup exists when something does break, so a fix means rebuilding instead of restoring
Small content changes (a new phone number, a service you no longer offer, an outdated price) sit wrong for months because there’s no one to make a five-minute edit
Page speed degrades slowly as plugins accumulate, and nobody connects the dip in leads to the site getting slower

None of this is dramatic on its own. It compounds.

What's Actually Included

Core maintenance

WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates handled monthly, tested before applying – not auto-updated blindly, which is its own way to break a site
Full site backups on a regular schedule, stored off-site
Uptime monitoring, so a site going down gets caught in minutes, not whenever you happen to check

Security

Malware and vulnerability scanning
Security patches applied as they’re released, not batched into “whenever”
Login and firewall hardening appropriate for a small business site (this isn’t enterprise-grade security theater, it’s the handful of things that actually stop the common attacks)

Small content edits

A set number of minor edits included monthly – text changes, image swaps, adding/removing a service, updating hours or pricing
Handled by the person who actually built the site, so changes stay consistent with how it was designed, not bolted on by whoever’s on shift

Performance

Monthly check on page speed and Core Web Vitals, with fixes applied if something’s slipped
Image and database optimization as needed, not just at launch

Reporting

A short monthly summary: what was updated, what was backed up, any issues caught and fixed – so you know the plan is actually doing something, not just billing you

What It Costs

Care plans run $49–$199/month, depending on how many included edit requests and how much traffic/complexity the site has. A simple 5-page contractor site sits at the lower end; a site with e-commerce, integrations, or higher edit volume sits higher.

No long-term contract required – month-to-month, cancel anytime.

Who This Is For

Mainly existing Lunex Design clients whose site was already built here — since I know the exact setup, no ramp-up time is needed. If your site was built elsewhere but you want ongoing management, I’ll do a short paid audit first to understand the build before taking it on, since maintaining a site I didn’t build carries more unknowns.

How it Works

1

Quick fit call

Confirm which tier matches your site's size and how often you'll actually need edits.

2

Onboarding

Backups, monitoring, and security scanning set up in the first week.

3

Ongoing care

Updates and monitoring happen in the background; you only hear from me if something needs your input or when your monthly summary lands.

4

Edit requests

Send changes as they come up; turned around within your plan's response time.

5

Monthly report

A short summary of what was done, so the plan's value stays visible, not invisible.

Your Questions Answered

What counts as a "minor edit"?

Text changes, swapping an image, updating a price or phone number, adding or removing a testimonial – things that take a few minutes and don’t change the site’s structure. New pages, major layout changes, or new functionality are scoped and quoted separately, but existing care plan clients get priority and discounted rates on that work.

What happens if my site gets hacked or goes down?

Uptime monitoring catches downtime within minutes, and recovery starts from the most recent backup – usually within hours, not days. This is the core reason a care plan exists: the difference between “an incident that gets fixed same-day” and “a site that’s been broken for a week because nobody was watching.”

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes – plans are month-to-month, no contract. If you cancel, the site stays exactly as it is; nothing gets removed or broken on cancellation.

Do I need this if my site was just built and is brand new?

Not urgently in month one, but WordPress sites start needing updates within weeks of launch as plugins and core release patches. Most clients start a plan at launch specifically so nothing slips before it becomes a problem.

What if I only need this for a few months, not ongoing?

That’s fine – month-to-month means you can pause or cancel once you don’t need it, and restart later if needed.

A website is a moving part, not a finished product.

If it’s been a while since anyone checked on yours, let’s fix that before it becomes a bigger problem than a monthly plan.
