Choose the level of care that fits your website today, with clear monthly pricing and no long-term contract.
Plans from $60/month · Month-to-month service · Direct support · Clear reporting
LAUNCHING IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
WordPress core, themes, plugins, browsers, hosting environments, and security risks continue changing after your website launches.
Without routine maintenance, small compatibility issues can become broken features, performance problems, security vulnerabilities, failed updates, or unexpected downtime.
I handle the ongoing technical work so you can focus on your business while knowing someone familiar with WordPress is paying attention to your website.
HOSTING IS NOT THE SAME AS WEBSITE MAINTENANCE
Good hosting is important, but hosting alone does not replace ongoing WordPress maintenance. Your website still needs software updates, compatibility checks, independent backups, security monitoring, troubleshooting, content support, and someone who can respond when something goes wrong.
YOUR HOSTING PROVIDER
Hosting typically covers the server, network, infrastructure, server-level security, and hosting-side backups or tools included with your hosting account.
LAUNCHPAD WEBSITE CARE
Website Care focuses on WordPress core, plugins, themes, backups, uptime, vulnerabilities, performance, website changes, troubleshooting, reporting, and ongoing support.
FOUNDATIONAL CARE IN EVERY PLAN
The plans differ mainly in update frequency, hands-on content support, performance work, and how much ongoing attention your website requires.
WordPress core, plugins, and themes are reviewed and updated carefully to help maintain compatibility, security, and reliable operation.
Your website’s availability is monitored so potential downtime can be identified quickly and investigated when an alert occurs.
Additional off-site backups provide another layer of protection alongside the backup system offered by your hosting provider.
Your website is monitored for known vulnerabilities, SSL issues, domain concerns, and other indicators that may require attention.
Questions come directly to me rather than an unfamiliar call center, account manager, or outsourced support queue.

WHICH WORDPRESS MAINTENANCE PLAN IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
You do not need to choose alone. I can review your website, update frequency, functionality, traffic, and support needs before recommending the most appropriate level of Website Care.
BASE WEBSITE CARE
Choose Base when your site is primarily informational and you mainly need WordPress updates, monitoring, backups, reporting, and access to support when a problem occurs.
ESSENTIAL WEBSITE CARE
Choose Essential when you regularly need text, image, service, promotion, or minor layout updates and prefer LaunchPad to handle that ongoing work.
ELITE WEBSITE CARE
Choose Elite when your website receives significant traffic, processes sales or leads, changes frequently, or requires quicker access to advanced technical support.

DIRECT SUPPORT FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WORDPRESS
Maintenance tools are useful, but software alone cannot understand why a page looks wrong, whether an update affected a customer journey, or what should happen when something unexpected changes.
LaunchPad combines monitoring and maintenance tools with human review, direct communication, and practical WordPress experience.
Automated tools provide useful data, but website condition, completed work, open issues, and recommendations are reviewed in context.
You communicate directly with Toby rather than explaining your website repeatedly to different support agents.
You know what your plan covers, what falls outside routine maintenance, and what additional work would cost before it begins.
Your level of care can change as your website becomes more active, generates more business, or requires additional support.
HOW WEBSITE CARE WORKS
I review your website first so the recommended plan reflects its actual condition, functionality, update requirements, and support needs.

You receive a recommendation based on how frequently the website changes and the support it realistically needs.
03
Monitoring, backups, reporting, access, and maintenance tools are configured for your website.

WORDPRESS MAINTENANCE QUESTIONS
These answers explain how the plans work, what is covered, and what to expect from ongoing WordPress support.
Your hosting company manages the server and hosting environment. Website Care focuses on WordPress itself, including software updates, independent backups, vulnerability monitoring, content changes, performance, troubleshooting, and support. Hosting and WordPress maintenance serve different but complementary purposes.
LaunchPad Website Care plans currently start at $60 per month for foundational maintenance, $130 per month for more active websites, and $200 per month for advanced business support. Final pricing depends on the website’s size, complexity, functionality, and maintenance requirements.
Yes. Plans are month to month, and the level of service can be adjusted as your website activity, content needs, traffic, or business requirements change.
LaunchPad will assess the situation, identify the most appropriate recovery path, restore an available clean backup when suitable, and help coordinate additional remediation. The exact response depends on the nature and severity of the incident, hosting environment, and available recovery points.
Yes. LaunchPad can maintain existing WordPress websites created by another designer or agency. The site must first be reviewed for software condition, hosting, security, licensing, custom code, and unresolved technical issues.
Routine content updates are included with the Essential and Elite plans according to the agreed scope. This may include replacing text, changing images, updating contact details, adjusting existing sections, or publishing prepared content. Larger redesigns and new functionality are quoted separately.
Yes. Website Care plans are month to month and may be cancelled with 30 days’ notice. Before service ends, LaunchPad can provide an available backup and explain any important maintenance or access information needed for the transition.
You receive a Monthly Website Care Report summarizing updates, backups, uptime, performance, security monitoring, traffic information when included, custom work completed, and any important findings or recommendations.
Major redesigns, new website sections, advanced functionality, extensive copywriting, branding, paid advertising, comprehensive SEO campaigns, premium plugin or theme licenses, hosting fees, and domain registration are not included unless specifically stated. Additional work is quoted before it begins.
No. Routine updates may be included according to the selected plan, but larger design, development, integration, or troubleshooting projects require a separate estimate. The scope and price are explained before additional work begins.
