WordPress Care Plans: Why You Need Them And What We Can Do For You

Jul 23, 2018 | Security, Website Design, Website Optimization

Group of Business People Using Digital Devices

WordPress is the most popular content management system in the world. More than 500 websites are built daily using WordPress and it has been the most dominant CMS the last eight years. Overall, WordPress runs nearly 30% of all websites operating on the Internet.

There’s a reason for this; and that is because WordPress is easy to use. Business owners can manage content on their own. They have their choice of plugins which they can use to improve design and functionality. Google loves WordPress websites because its code makes site content easy to read and index.

However, technical issues can arise which could affect the performance of your website. For example, you may want to improve certain features such as its download speed, accessibility, and level of security.

It is no different than a physical office or retail outlet that wants to improve efficiency and security. It may improve the office or store layout and introduce stricter and more elaborate security measures.  

Improving site performance while enhancing security are good enough reasons for you to seriously consider getting an Extreme WordPress Care Plan.

What Are Extreme WordPress Care Plans?

Extreme WordPress Care Plans are customized sets of maintenance and repair options that have been put together by our web development professionals to help you manage and protect your website according to individual need and budget.

Continuing our analogy with a brick- and- mortar business, a physical office would hire professionals to cover its needs for security, accounting, legal expertise, cleaning and maintenance services.  

With your website, care and maintenance are best left in the hands of web development professionals who have the experience and expertise managing WordPress platforms.

What could happen if your WordPress website does not undergo regular care and maintenance procedures?

  • Your website will not function properly, which will make it difficult to access, also site speed speed and security could be compromised.
  • Your message queue has grown considerably and you have a backlog of comments to attend to.

None of these incidents can be good for business. Instead of becoming a platform for development, the website has made it difficult for you to build business.

Our Extreme WordPress Care and Maintenance Plans have been proven effective and highly successful in ensuring the performance of our clients’ WordPress websites.

Let’s find out what our clients have to say about our Extreme WordPress Care and Maintenance Plans:

Testimony No. 1

Client – Randy Bowman

Website – www.sqrdup.com

“I was very concerned about SSL security. As an online retailer, I wanted to make sure customers would feel very confident and assured when using our site. We were paying another company a lot of money for untold hours of work that did not meet expectations.

I was about to give up until Josiah and the team at Mountaintop advised us to sign up for their Extreme WordPress Care Plan. Josiah suggested we give the plan a try. We did and it was the best decision we ever made for website security.

It is great! I don’t have to think about this part while going about my busy days! Life and work are so much easier! Mountaintop’s Extreme WordPress Care Plan is fantastic. It takes all the worry off my shoulders.”

Testimony No. 2

Client: Christy Smith

“As a first-time owner of a business website, I needed to know my site was well-maintained and secure. Purchasing the Extreme WordPress Care Plan was a no-brainer. Everything is done in a timely manner and what is promised is exactly what you get!

The work Mountaintop does is amazing! I am very satisfied with their excellent customer service and how they have taken care of my website. If you want to secure and protect your website, sign up with Mountaintop’s Extreme WordPress Care Plan.

The prices are very reasonable and Mountaintop goes the extra mile to make sure you get your money’s worth. Mountaintop has the experience and expertise to make sure your website is running and functioning properly.

Most of all, you will have peace of mind knowing your website is safe and sound under experienced and expert hands. I highly recommend their services to anyone who needs a website designed and managed.”

Testimony No. 3

Client – Lynn Ann Huizingh

Website – www.swshelternetwork.com

“Our previous web provider was very frustrating to work with. It was a difficult website to update and frequently I could not figure out how to do what I wanted to do. Customer service took more than 48 hours to hear from and they very rarely answered my question.

I spent hours trying to get done what I wanted to do and it didn’t always work like I thought it should.

After building a website with Mountaintop, we decided to sign up for Mountaintop’s Extreme WordPress Care Plan. It has been a totally different experience! The design process was fun and easy for me because Josiah is so easy to work with.

I never heard, ‘I can’t’. I have often heard, ‘Let me check into how we can make that happen’, although he already knew the answer. Josiah has the ability to point out the rare problem before I noticed it. He would fix it and tell me after what happened and how they approached the problem.

Updating content is so much easier! If I wanted some pages and the format updated, Josiah is just one email away and he would give updates within a 24-hour period.

The plans are also very affordable. We set up an auto-pay system so we don’t have to worry about paying the monthly fees on time. The coverage of our plan included support for web updates and coaching.

So grateful! I highly recommend signing up with Mountaintop’s Extreme WordPress Care Plan.”

FAQs: Extreme WordPress Care And Maintenance Plans

Q: We’ve come across other companies that offer WordPress care plans. Why should we go with your company?

Testimonies are the most powerful forms of validation. As you have read from 3 of our clients, they are very happy with their decision to sign up for our Extreme WordPress Care Plan. We can assure you of our expertise in website management and excellent customer service as proven by our large number of loyal customers. With Mountaintop, we provide high-value service for only a small monthly cost.

Q: Once I sign up for your WordPress care plan, what are the next steps?

When you are ready to take the next steps, let us know and we can setup a website audit. We typically charge for these as we like to dig into the website to see what is REALLY going on.

As part of the evaluation, we will give you a report containing information like a list of pages & posts, users by security level, plugins, themes, speed of your website, possible security issues like malware, broken links, Google’s mobile-friendly test, Domain authority, and we make backups of the site.

We will also include our recommendations on how to make the website faster and better overall. We want to make sure we have your website needs covered from start to finish. Once your website goes live, we will work to keep it secure, up to date and functioning properly.

This way, we can keep track of your site’s performance and become more accountable for the work we’ve done for you.

Q: What kinds of security measures do you provide?

We work hard to stay on top of current WordPress website best practices. We use a combination of plugins/code/server changes that make your website stronger against potential attacks.

We also run regular backups of your site as well as malware scans as another line of defense. We want to make sure we can identify potential vulnerabilities and have them addressed as soon as possible. You can be assured that if something goes wrong, we are ready to take care of the situation before it becomes a full-blown problem.

Q: Can you manage e-commerce websites?

Yes, on the top two care plans we work with “WooCommerce”. If your website uses another ecommerce platform, get in touch with us and we can discuss requirements.

Q: I have multiple websites. How would you manage them?

Managing multiple websites will not be a problem. We have the experience, expertise, and professional know-how of using the correct tools and processes to manage and monitor multiple websites for many of our clients.

Q: Are you particular about the web host services provider or can you work with anyone?

We prefer a host that allows us to have the most access to the hosting platform and the files for the site. These Extreme WP Care Plans are not limited to a single platform though we do prefer to host and maintain the site as that is the most efficient for us. Some hosts are very cumbersome and may require more work which won’t be covered by the care plan. 

Q: Can you fix a hacked website?

This one is tricky. Yes, we definitely can. However, depending on how bad a website has been hacked there might be extra work to get the website safely operational before the Care Plans can maintain it.

Please note that we will fix hacked websites if they are on our care plan (prior to being hacked) at no additional cost.

However, if a website that is being moved over to us for care has been hacked, we would probably have to charge you to have the site cleaned first. For the purpose of transparency, we will provide an estimate before we cleaning the website.

Q: What are your standard response time and turnaround time?

The standard response and turnaround time is 24 to 72 hours. However, we do our best to respond within 24 hours. This would be contingent on the amount and level of clarity of the information that is given to us.

Q: Are your services available 24/7?

We have hosting support that is available 24/7 for technical issues. With our WordPress Extreme Care Plans, we will not rest until your website is working properly!

We work hard to keep those going. If you have questions, you are free to email us at any time. Mountaintop has a global team working round-the-clock to make sure all of your concerns are addressed right away. However, as we are a smaller organization, we might not be able to get back to you for inquiries or concerns sent at 2:00am.

Conclusion

As a business owner, having a website is a step in the right direction. By going online, you can reach out to a wider market of potential end users of your products and services.

Your marketing and promotional strategies will have a larger ocean to cast its net; an ocean of more than 3.5 billion daily Internet users. A website will help you grow your business by capitalizing on opportunities available on the Internet.
