Website health check report
Example report. Not a real site.
First-month list
Some of this depends on the platform; on a hosted builder such as Wix or Squarespace, a plan does not include updates or backups.
The database is exported first, the update is tried on a staging copy where your host has one, and key pages are compared before and after.
Update log
Example log. Not a client site.
Files and the database are backed up, encrypted, and stored away from the site's own server.
Security fixes go on right away, while ordinary feature updates are held for a few days first.
Installed plugins are checked every day against a published list of known vulnerabilities.
The site is monitored, and you are alerted when it goes down.
A written report arrives every month.
Every price is on this page, with what each plan includes and what it does not.

Read the full plan detailsOne month of uptime monitoring
Example month. Not real data.
One outage during the month, marked in red. An alert went out to the owner when the monitor caught it.
Updates run on a staging copy where your host has one, and a release that breaks the copy does not go live. The daily check of installed plugins flags known vulnerabilities.
Monitoring raises an alert when the site is down. There is no promised check interval, no promised response time, and no desk answering at all hours.
A fix comes out of your plan's monthly edit hours. Past those hours, or on Essential, the work is billed at $125 an hour.
Hacked-site cleanup and a redesign are not part of any plan. Both are quoted and billed on their own.
Send the form with your site's address; the check is done from the outside, so no logins are needed.
A person reviews the site and emails you a written report of what they found.
If a plan fits your site, pick one; if the site needs little upkeep, the report says so.
A plan begins with a read-only review of the site, then settles into updates, backups, monitoring, and a monthly report.
The core service: careful updates, backups stored off your server, monitoring with alerts, and a monthly report.
Three plans at published prices, $99 to $349 a month, each listed with what it holds and what it leaves out.
Core, plugin, and theme updates done in order: export first, try it on a staging copy where your host has one, compare key pages, then go live.
Maintenance plus the running of the site: content changes, small fixes, and edits handled inside your plan's hours.
Help when something is wrong or needs changing, drawn from your plan's edit hours or billed at $125 an hour.
A like-for-like WordPress move to a new host: $199 flat, free with a yearly plan. Other moves are quoted at $125 an hour.
Published guides put small-business website maintenance at $30 to $500 a month, and their ranges all overlap between $50 and $100. The fee buys the work: updates, backups, monitoring, and change time. The domain, hosting, and plugin licenses are costs of owning the site, separate from that work, whoever does it.
Website Maintenance Company maintains small-business and organization websites across the United States and Canada, working remotely. The prices are published, and your hosting, domain, and licenses stay in your name. What a plan does not cover is stated as plainly as what it does.
Essential is $99 a month in USD, Professional is $199, and Business is $349. Each plan covers one site, runs month to month, and you can cancel anytime. Extra hours are $125 an hour, and paying yearly makes two months free. The full card is in the plans section above and on the plans page.
No, WordPress is one of six services. Monitoring, page checks, and reports work on any platform; updates and backups depend on the platform, and on a hosted builder such as Wix or Squarespace a plan does not include them. For a site on one of those builders, Professional is the plan to pick, since Essential includes no edit time.
Yes. A person looks over your site from the outside and emails you a written report. There is no charge and no obligation to take a plan.
No, it is an outside-only check, so nothing is shared. A maintenance plan does need access, which is set up when the plan starts.
Yes, all three stay in your name and you pay for them directly. A premium plugin only receives updates while its license is active.
You can call (866) 932-9526, but it goes to voicemail; there is no live desk and no promised callback time. The form on the health check page is the main way to reach us.
It depends on the platform. A self-hosted site runs software that needs updates and a backup kept somewhere else from day one. A site on a hosted builder needs little upkeep, and the health check will say so.
We review the site from the outside and email you the written report within 3 business days. If a plan fits, you pick one; if not, the report is yours to keep.
Send your site's address and we will look it over from the outside, free, and email you a written report.
