Keep your website running smoothly
Like anything else in the digital world, a website needs regular maintenance to ensure it continues to work properly. Websites that are serviced on a regular basis load faster and perform better with less downtime. Your site is also more likely to maintain its Google ranking, and less likely to get hacked.
It’s like having a trained WordPress specialist on hand
The software that powers your website is continually being improved and needs ongoing adjustments to maintain optimal performance. In addition to completing these updates on a regular basis, we take care of the security patches, bug fixes, and daily backups.
QUESTIONS ABOUT WEBSITE CARE PLANS
Just like routine maintenance for your home or vehicle, it’s important to provide ongoing care for your website to ensure it continues to work properly. Websites that are serviced on a regular basis load faster and perform better with less downtime, are more likely to maintain their Google ranking, and less likely to get hacked.
If the WordPress software is not kept up-to-date, your website may not continue to function as expected, and/or your site may become vulnerable to malware. For this reason, having a trained WordPress specialist on hand to adjust the software settings, and to update, rollback and replace plugins, is important to maintain the optimal performance of your website.
Yes, if your website is hosted on our web server, the Website Care Plan is required. The maintenance plan is required to prevent your site from being hacked or injected with malware. If your site gets hacked, the virus can spread to the other sites on our server.
No, not necessarily. We can host the website for you on our premium web server. Or you can host the site independently, with the company of your choice.
If you host your site with Airdrie Web Design, the hosting fees are included as part of the Website Care Plan. If you choose to host your website in your own account, you will be responsible for any hosting fees associated with your account.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime after the first 90 days. We ask that you give us 30 days notice so we can complete our last update of the website, supply you with a full backup, and remove our administrator credentials.
If you cancel your service plan, your site will be moved to a new web hosting account and you will be responsible for any fees associated with this account. You may also need to purchase your own license(s) for any premium software or plugins used on your website.
All Website Care Plans include Website Hosting, Secure SSL Padlock, Daily Offsite Backups, Software Updates, Security Firewall, In-House Software Licenses, and Uptime Monitoring.
