    FAQs

    MAINTAIN

    Is a long-term commitment or contract required?

    No, there are no lock-in contracts. You can pay-as-you-go one hour at a time or buy in bulk at a reduced hourly rate. Most of our clients buy in bulk to have hours in their account so any maintenance updates can be made without delay. It’s really easy… purchase your required block of hours above or request a quote to get started.

    Do you support all website platforms?

    We support all popular website platforms including WordPress, Squarespace, WooCommerce, Adobe Dreamweaver, Wix and many more. We even support popular email sending platforms such as MailChimp and Campaign Monitor. If yours isn’t listed here, just ask us and I’m sure we’ll be able to help!

    Can you update all websites?

    We can update most websites, however, business owners are sometimes given restricted access by their web developers so the developers can retain control. Unfortunately this means we will be restricted to update certain parts of the website as well unless we are provided with administrator access.

    How long will it take?

    We know your business information and website is important. Depending on the type of the request, we aim for your website maintenance to be performed between 1-3 business days. Minor updates are typically done in 24 hours or less and larger tasks can take between 4-7 business days.

    How many hours will I need?

    The amount of time required for each task is varied and depends on the request. All tasks are billed in 15 minute increments so we recommend grouping your minor tasks together where possible to take best advantage of the time. A typical half hour update could contain the following:

    • Review of task
    • Update text and images on 1-2 pages
    • Proof read, spell check and browser testing
    • Upload updates
    • Check live site

    How much will I save when buying hours in bulk?

    Hours Hourly Rate Total You Save
    1 $110
    5 $100 $500 $50 (10%)
    10 $95 $950 $150 (16%)
    15 $90 $1350 $300 (22%)

    Do you refund unused hours?

    Yes we offer a full refund of unused hours at any time. Unused hours expire after 12 months.

    Do you offer a guarantee or warranty?

    Yes, we promise to provide you with quality service until you are completely satisfied.

    What do you need from me to get started?

    If you have a Content Management System (CMS) such as WordPress, Adobe Business Catalyst, Squarespace etc, we’ll need your admin login. This is typically a username and password that you were supplied on signup. Some systems allow you to invite external administrators which would be preferable.

    If you don’t have a CMS then we’ll need your web hosting FTP details. This is typically a server name (ftp.yourwebsite.com), username and password. If you’re not sure what these are you can ask your web hosting provider.

    HOST

    Is Maintain My Website the web host?

    No, we have partnered with VentraIP and WP Engine. We manage the hosting for you including being your first point of contact for technical support.

    Does your WordPress hosting include maintenance?

    Yes it includes regular backups, security monitoring and monthly WordPress core, theme & plugin updates.

    Why do I need monthly WordPress maintenance?

    With each new release of WordPress, developers fix bugs, add features and patch security vulnerabilities. If you don’t update, it’s possible you will be hacked sooner rather than later.

    Can I use the web hosting for email?

    We recommend keeping your email & web hosting separate for a few reasons:

    1. If your website hosting goes down for any reason, so will your email.
    2. If you ever wanted to move your website to new hosting, it’s much easier.
    3. The total storage allowance includes website files plus any email accounts so you will quickly run out of storage space with multiple email accounts.

    See our dedicated email hosting packages.

    No, we have partnered with VentraIP, Google and Microsoft. We manage the hosting for you including being your first point of contact for technical support.
