Manage WP Webcare
WordPress is a Content Managed System. This system, like all systems, need maintenance. I subscribe to Manage WP and use it weekly (or more) to update your website’s themes, plugins and even WordPress. WordPress sends out revisions about twelve times a year and all the other elements need to adjust. I there is a WordPress update in the middle of the week, I will check into MWP again.
Other than updating, I am busy within the WP Manager dashboard watching whether backups are working. If a backup fails, I research why log into your site and fix the problem. Sometimes I upgrade the backups to once a day when a site has been offline or experiencing problems. I pay an extra fee for this.
I can see if there are spam comments populating your website. I check them to make sure they aren’t legitimate comments before sending them to the trash. Once in a while, some of your plugins fail to update, or stop updating, or cause an error. Then there are the credit card changes!
This is all to say, that I spend time keeping my customer’s websites happy and healthy. My fees have not increased ever, so 2022 seems like the time to add $2 to your monthly payments, while still offering competitive rates. I can do this on my end, so you don’t need to give me any more information. Let me know if you have any questions.

Consider these important aspects when building a web site.
- Customer Support: Are they available 24/7 by email and by phone?
- Ease of Use: Does it have Drag and Drop which is the new design and editing tool?
- Bandwidth: Are there limitations on space?
- Advertising: Will they require an ad placed on your site?
- Overall Cost: Are there additional costs for more pages or bandwidth?
- Theme design: Are you limited by the number of well designed themes?
- Ownership: Do you own the website if you want to change hosting?
