// In short

Do you need a care plan?

Choose a care plan if your WordPress site matters to your business and nobody is updating, backing up or checking it each month. If something is broken right now, start with WordPress Bug Fixing; if the site needs a new look, a Website Redesign. Stores with orders and payments need the Store Care Plan. MD Shamim Mahmud looks after WordPress sites month to month, with safe updates, backups, security checks, small fixes and a monthly report.

// Who it’s for

Who a care plan is for

A website is never really “finished”. Plugins update, threats change and small things break. A care plan is for owners who would rather not deal with it.

  • Busy owners

    You don’t have time to log in, update plugins and check backups every week.

  • Sites that bring enquiries

    If the site goes down or gets hacked, you lose customers, not just a web page.

  • Sites nobody updates

    Plugins are months behind and you’re afraid an update will break something.

  • Owners who need small changes

    A new photo, a price change or a new section every month or two.

// What’s included

What’s included every month

Everything below is included in both plans. Website care + changes adds time for changes and deeper speed and SEO checks.

  • Safe updates

    WordPress core, theme and plugins updated, with a backup first and checks after.

  • Daily backups

    Stored off-site and kept for 30 days. Restores are included.

  • Security monitoring

    Malware scans, firewall and login protection.

  • Uptime checks

    Your site is monitored, and I’m alerted if it goes down.

  • Speed check

    Monthly PageSpeed check, with fixes for anything that slips.

  • Broken link check

    Broken links and forms found and fixed.

  • Search Console check

    Indexing errors and warnings reviewed every month.

  • Monthly report

    What was updated, fixed and checked, in plain English.

// Sample monthly report

// Before you decide

Care plan or fix it when it breaks?

Paying only when something breaks feels cheaper, until the day the site is down or hacked and every hour counts.

Care plan questions

What owners ask before handing over their website’s upkeep.

Still have a question? Ask me directly

How much does a WordPress care plan cost?

Website care starts from $55 a month and Website care + changes from $119 a month (USD), about 30% below what comparable freelancers typically charge. Stores and several sites are quoted after a free call. There is no setup fee.

How do payments work?

Each month is paid upfront, with an invoice and a receipt. There is no long contract: you can stop with 30 days’ notice.

What if an update breaks my site?

A backup is taken before every update, and pages are checked afterwards. If anything goes wrong, it’s fixed or restored as part of the plan.

What counts as a small change?

Text, images, prices, a new section on an existing page or a simple form change. Website care + changes includes up to 1 hour a month; bigger changes are quoted separately.

Do you look after sites you didn’t build?

Yes. The first month starts with a health check so I understand the setup and fix anything urgent.

Do I keep control of my website?

Yes. Hosting, domain and licences stay in your name. I use a separate admin account that you can remove at any time.

Is hosting included?

No. Your hosting stays with your provider and in your name. If it’s slow or unreliable, I’ll recommend a better option.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Plans are month to month; give 30 days’ notice and I’ll hand over a final backup and report.
