Frequently asked questions

How important is site maintenance really?

Modern day websites are complex systems that are continuously updated and improved. New security vulnerabilities are discovered on an on-going basis. Sites that aren’t updated become targets to hackers and often suffer from downtime, data theft, and viruses. Having to rebuild a site can often cost thousands of dollars and lead to plenty of aggravation.

Thankfully, there’s a few best practices that can significantly limit the risk to your business. Keeping your site’s components up to date and tested for compatibility is an important part of that. Having an off-site backup can mean the difference between simply clicking restore and having to rebuild from scratch.

So yes, it’s important.

Can I keep my site updated myself?

Yes, you certainly can. We’ll be glad to provide site administration training and answer any questions that come up. Contact us for more details.

Why would I pay for Site Care then?

Good question. There are two main reasons we offer the Site Care service:

The first is simply that modern websites are complicated systems. When issues arise, it helps to have an understanding of how the site operates to troubleshoot the problem in a timely fashion. That’s something we can help with.

The second reason is our overall approach to updates and security. Safety and redundancy are principles we live by. Not only do we understand the content of the updates, we understand the risks associated with installing them. Just because an update is available, doesn’t mean it will be compatible with your site. Let our decades of experience be your guide.

How often are updates performed?

Updates are run every 4-6 weeks. This includes a full site backup, core, theme and plugin updates. Typically this happens at the middle of each month.

Can I rollover my unused support hours?

Yes, you certainly can. Any unused time will automatically be credited towards your next renewal. These hours are non-refundable.

What happens after my support hours are used up?

First, we’ll let you know when your hours have been used, so there’s no suprises.

Additional small changes are billed monthly at our regular rate of $100/hour. Don’t worry about racking up a bill, we’ll let you know if we go over 3 hours. Larger projects are done under a separate scope and will be estimated beforehand.
