Why unmanaged WordPress sites cause problems

Every WordPress update is a gambleEvery WordPress update has the potential to conflict with your theme or another plugin. Without a staging environment to test on first, you are running updates directly on a live site and hoping for the best.
Premium plugins charged per site, per yearMost agencies charge you for each premium plugin licence separately. I run a shared licence network across all managed sites, which means most of those costs are included in the care plan rather than added on top.
No visibility into what is actually happeningAn invoice is not a maintenance report. Every month I send a summary of what was updated, what was flagged, and what was resolved. You know exactly what has happened on your site.

A care plan that actually covers your site

From £100 per month, including premium plugin licences. Here is what that looks like in practice.

01Initial Audit

Before the plan starts I go through your site: plugin stack, PHP version, backup setup, any existing issues. If there are problems that need sorting first, I will tell you.

02Monthly Care

Core, plugins and themes are updated on a tested schedule, not just clicked through. Premium plugin licences are included. Backups run offsite. Security is monitored.

03Ongoing Management

You get a monthly report confirming what was done and anything worth flagging. Technical issues get resolved as they come up. Your site stays stable and up to date without you having to manage any of it.

How WordPress Care Plans Work

An unmanaged WordPress site accumulates risk over time. Core updates, plugin updates and PHP version changes all interact. Without someone monitoring them, a single incompatible update can take a site offline or introduce a security vulnerability.

Structured management changes that. Updates are reviewed before they are applied, not just pushed automatically. Backups are scheduled and tested. Security events are monitored and acted on.

Premium plugin licences are included in the monthly cost. Popular plugins like Gravity Forms, WP Rocket and Advanced Custom Fields typically cost £100–£300 per year when purchased independently. Rolling them into a single arrangement removes a common hidden expense.

Kyle Daylan — WordPress developer

One developer. No handoffs, no ticket queue.

I manage over 12 WordPress sites directly: the updates, the backups, the fixes when something breaks. Not through an automated tool, and not delegated to anyone else.

Premium plugin licences are included in the plan cost through a shared licence network. Most clients are paying for these individually without realising a shared arrangement removes that expense entirely.
