Maintenance and Care Plan

We help keep your website protected, optimised, backed up and secured.

Website support to help grow your online presence, for less than a cup of coffee a day!

Once your website is live, it’s not only important to protect it from malware and hacks that can take your site down and affect your Google rankings but it’s also important to keep the tools in the site updated to make sure the site is running quickly and efficiently.

 

Through our website maintenance/website care plan, we take on the stress of all these complexities so you can focus on and grow your business!


Don’t have time to maintain your site or worried you might break the site? We do the heavy lifting, while you can focus on what really matters.

 

We offer top-quality hands-on support with a full support desk to take care of all your website needs.

 

Peace of Mind that your website will run the latest version without conflicts.

Why we’re different? We support and care for our client’s websites after they are launched.

Stay
secure.

Never miss a plugin update to ensure your site is always secure.

Save
resources.

Spend less time going through and updating your plugins.

Update with confidence.

Updates are done by a human. We preform before and after tests.

The trusted solution to keep plugins up to date, and your sites secure. 

 

Plugin vulnerabilities represent 55.9% of the known entry points for attacks. Security breaches, site downtime, and lost traffic are just a few possible outcomes without proper plugin maintenance over time. Whether you’re managing a full site for yourself, your business, or your clients, take the burden off yourself or your clients with our maintenance plans.

Don’t worry about the ongoing WordPress maintenance again!

 

Websites is an investment and should be treated as one.  Caring for or maintaining a website is very much like caring for your car. It’s a lot cheaper and less time consuming to have a professional to regularly look after it than get repairs when something goes wrong.

 

We do the heavy lifting, while you can focus on what really matters.

 

Our monthly website support plans offer you peace of mind that every month we will be on hand, rain or shine, to update your website, monitor it’s uptime and security, tweak its performance issues, and respond to requests from you and your team to edit, improve or fix unforseen and timely issues.

I recently engaged Smart Robbie to maintain our website. I chose Smart Robbie as she came to me as a recommendation. I found working with Smart Robbie to be an excellent choice.

I was lucky to find Robyn at Smart Robbie a few years ago. It was a fortuitous recommendation by someone in the SEO industry that I follow and respect. Prior to having Robyn look after the maintenance/back up of my website, I was paying a fortune to a big company, monthly basis for years. When I needed help, I had to get a ticket and someone would action my problem. Different people resolved my request each time and there was no continuity, sometimes I felt like I was a small fish in a big pond. With Robyn, she understands my philosophy regarding my website matters. I don't have to explain it each time I need her help. Because I am not an expert in SEO, it's important to me that I can trust the person who looks after my website/SEO enhancements. I trust Robyn's work is up-to-date, ethical and clever. I would highly recommend Smart Robbie to look after or design a WordPress website.

The best thing that I have done to improve my business in the past ten years is engage Smart Robbie to improve things on my website. I engaged Smart Robbie to remove hack files and update my WordPress Software and for monthly maintenance. She went far beyond doing just those things. She made an incalcuable difference to my online functionality, and thus, my business. I chose Smart Robbie because she came highly recommended by another business owner. That person was experiencing serious IT issues and was at her wits end. Smart Robbie quickly turned things around for her. She definitely did for me too. I found working with Smart Robbie to be easy, a stress relief and augmenting my online business operations. I highly recommend Smart Robbie to anyone looking for website maintenance and support. In 2021 online is everything. Smart Robbie is the best in the business.

Just like your computer or phone, it’s always important to keep the software updated. Sucuri released some website hacking stats from 2018 which saw an increase of malware attacks (increased from 47% to 56%). 44% of hacks are due to WordPress versions being out of date and 66% through backdoor holes due to out of date software.​

If your site goes down, we will work directly with your hosting company to get it back up.

If your site has errors or breaks, we will provide up to an hour of fixes due to update breaks.  If the fixes are longer than an hour we will roll the website back to a backup and provide a quote for the fixes.

We cannot promise your website will not be hacked but can promise we will do everything in our power to prevent it, as well as assist in the restoration and cleanup of the website with one of our backups.

If your site is hacked, you will need to get a Sucuri hack removal for $400 + GST.

Absolutely. We are all about a relationship with you and your website, so we would hate to see you go but we know financial needs weigh on many decisions and don’t want to lock anyone in. Request a cancellation via email to robyn@smartrobbie.com.au, and we will immediately stop the next payment.

Although these plans are for sites we build or re-design, we welcome clients who are looking for a long-term relationship with a dedicated Website Support Developer..

We first like to do a Website Evaluation to become familiar with the website, how it was built and any potential issues that can arise. With the evaluation, we will perform all the “Website Updates and Monitoring” tasks and make a full backup. Most importantly we will make a list of issues to fix and suggestions for improvement needed in order to proceed with the website on a monthly plan. Based on your type of website, this Website Evaluation is a fixed fee.

Once login details are provided, we will start your maintenance within 24-48 hours. 

We update your website once a month at a minimum. Majority of the time your site is updated weekly. 

Some updates may be delayed due to conflicts or security risks. We will update them as soon as they are safe to update if this is the case.

Our plans are flexible. We can add priority support for editing your website such as adding blogs, content changes and more. We can customise the plan to suite your needs. Minimum 30 min a month can be added to the plan.

  • Monthly payments are non-refundable.
  • Support is paid for in advance.
  • Invoices will be sent for that month’s work.
  • If you wish to cancel you need to cancel before the next invoice is issued.
  • Extra support hours do not roll over.
