Website Maintenance Services & WordPress Support
Your website is the one piece of your business that runs 24 hours a day without a day off. My website maintenance services keep it that way: updates applied, security watched, backups taken, and a real person to call when something looks wrong.
What happens to a WordPress site nobody maintains
WordPress sites don't fail all at once. They drift.
The site gets used
Core falls a few versions behind, and a known vulnerability turns your site into someone else's spam server.
The backups were never running
Nobody finds out until the day they're needed — and by then the work is simply gone.
I've been called in to clean up all three. It is always more expensive than maintaining the site would have been, and it always happens at the worst possible time.
Webcare: Website Maintenance Plans
Month to month. Cancel whenever it stops being worth it.
Upkeep
$129/mo
Best for businesses that just need the site to work.
- WordPress core and plugin updates, applied and checked — not just clicked
- Daily security and vulnerability scanning
- 24/7 uptime monitoring, so I know it's down before you do
- Daily off-site backups
- Priority restoration if something goes wrong
- $85/hour on anything beyond the plan — my lowest rate, automatically
Priority Partner
$199/mo
Best for sites that change regularly.
- Everything in Upkeep, plus:
- One full hour of flex time each month, used however you like — it doesn't roll over, so use it
- Content updates and design tweaks
- Direct technical consulting — text me the question
- Priority on everything, not just emergencies
Plans renew monthly and you can cancel any time. Already on a plan? Manage or cancel your subscription →
Only need help now and then? Skip the plan. If your site only needs an occasional update, I'm happy to help by the hour whenever you need me, with no plan and no contract. Webcare is for sites that need regular attention; hourly help is there for everyone else.
Need more than your plan covers?
- $85per hour, every hour, while you're on a Webcare maintenance plan
- $100starting rate without a plan, depending on the block you buy
That $85 is my lowest rate and it applies automatically — no hour packs, no minimum, nothing to buy up front to earn it. Being on a Webcare maintenance plan is what gets you the rate.
Either way I track everything in 15-minute increments and bill only for real work that moves your site forward. See full rates →

Site down? Hacked? Start here.
If your site is offline, defaced, throwing errors or flagged by Google, I take emergency work ahead of everything else. If it's been hacked, there's a flat-fee hacked WordPress site cleanup — $250, same-day start. I'll tell you what happened, what it costs to fix, and what to change so it doesn't happen again. You don't need to be on a plan to call me for this — but maintenance clients always get priority.
Emergency, weekend and holiday work is billed at 1.5x. See rates.

Website Maintenance in South Jersey and Beyond
I'm based in Mount Laurel and work with businesses across Burlington and Camden counties, and I've met most of my local clients in person. Website maintenance works just as well remotely, since the monitoring and updates don't care where you are, so I take on sites anywhere in the US.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the two plans?
Upkeep keeps the site healthy. Priority Partner does that and gives you an hour a month of my time for changes — new content, a new page section, a tweak you've been meaning to ask about. The hour doesn't roll over, so it's worth actually using.
Do you take on sites you didn't build?
Yes, and most of my maintenance clients came to me that way. I do a short review first so I know what I'm taking responsibility for, and I'll tell you honestly if the site needs work before a plan makes sense.
What counts as a content update?
Text changes, swapping images, adding a page, updating staff or service listings, publishing a post. If it's bigger than that I'll estimate it before starting.
Do I need a Webcare plan to get help?
No. If you only need occasional updates, I'll help by the hour, with no plan and no contract. You're never locked in, and you can start or stop a plan whenever it makes sense for you.
Do you maintain websites that aren't on WordPress?
Yes. Webcare plans are built for WordPress, where updates and plugins need regular attention. Static sites need far less upkeep, so most static-site owners just ask for help by the hour when they need a change. For any other platform, ask me and I'll tell you honestly what makes sense.
Is there a contract?
No. Webcare maintenance plans are month to month. If it stops being worth it, cancel.
What if my site goes down at 2am?
Uptime monitoring alerts me, not just you. Maintenance clients always get priority. Emergency work outside normal hours is billed at 1.5x.
Do you host websites too?
I do — managed hosting is separate from maintenance, and the two work well together. See hosting.
