Website Care and Support Plans
A website that is not actively looked after accumulates risk over time.
Daylan Design provides website care plans that keep your site secure, up to date and performing reliably, with direct developer support when you need something fixed or changed. You will not need to think about it.
What happens when maintenance gets skipped
Structured maintenance, not ad hoc fixes
A reactive approach to website maintenance costs more than a proactive one. Here is how a structured plan works.
Before anything begins I look at the current state of your site: software versions, backup setup, security posture, any issues that need sorting. You get a clear picture of where things stand.
Updates are reviewed and tested before going live. Backups are scheduled and stored offsite. Security events are monitored and dealt with, not just recorded.
Your site is monitored for uptime, performance and security. Each month you get a report confirming what was done and anything worth knowing about.
Website Care and Support Plans
Care plans start from £150 per month, depending on the level of support required. This covers ongoing technical management and the licensing costs of essential premium plugins. One off support is also available without a plan.
How Website Care Plans Work
Websites are not static. Software updates, security patches and compatibility changes all require ongoing attention. Without structured care, small issues compound into larger problems, and larger problems are more expensive to fix.
A care plan puts a structured process around your website. Updates are reviewed before they are applied, not just pushed automatically. Backups are scheduled and tested. Security events are monitored and acted on promptly.
Premium plugin licences are included in the monthly cost. Popular plugins like Gravity Forms, WP Rocket and Advanced Custom Fields typically cost £100 to £300 per year when bought independently. Rolling them into the plan removes a common hidden expense.
When something does need attention, you contact me directly. There is no ticket system and no account manager relaying the problem. The person you speak to is the person fixing it.
One developer. No handoffs, no ticket queue.
I manage over 12 production sites directly: updates tested before deployment, backups stored offsite, security monitored. When something needs attention, you reach the same person every time.
Over 10 years managing live sites means the common failure points are well understood. The ones that cause real damage are almost always the ones that were preventable.
Website Care FAQs
What does a website care plan cost?
Plans start from £150 per month. The exact cost depends on the size and complexity of the site and the level of support required.
What is included in a care plan?
Core, plugin and theme updates, premium plugin licences, scheduled backups, security monitoring and performance checks, plus direct support for fixes and changes. The exact scope depends on your site.
Are premium plugin licences included?
Yes. Plugin licences are covered within the monthly cost where applicable, removing a common additional expense for site owners.
Can you look after a website built by another developer?
Yes. An initial audit is carried out to assess the current state of the site before anything begins.
Can I get support without committing to a plan?
Yes. One off support is available for occasional tasks: technical fixes, content updates, plugin issues and form problems. Ad hoc requests are typically responded to within 1 to 2 working days.
Do you work with non-WordPress websites?
Primarily WordPress, though care for other platforms can be discussed depending on the technology involved.
