WordPress Maintenance Plans & Care Services

Most WordPress sites go months without a security update, a backup check, or a performance audit, and business owners have no idea. Our managed care plans start at $29/month and are handled directly by Andrew, not a support queue. Your site stays fast, secure, and working. You stay focused on your business.

WordPress maintenance services — Good Fellas Agency.

Your Site Has Layers That Need Attention Every Month. We Handle All of Them.

Outdated plugins are the number one cause of WordPress hacks. One missed core update can break functionality. No backup means one bad deployment wipes out everything you’ve built. And a site that’s never been performance-tuned is quietly losing visitors — and rankings — every month.

Most business owners don’t have time to stay on top of this. That’s not a failure — it’s just not what you should be doing with your time. Andrew handles every layer of it directly so your site stays fast, secure, and working while you focus on the business.

What Every Plan Covers

No matter which tier you’re on, these are the foundational services that keep your site protected and performing.

Security Monitoring

Ongoing malware scans, security patching, and a free SSL certificate on all plans. If something looks wrong, it gets caught before it becomes a problem.

Plugin & Core Updates

WordPress core, themes, and plugins updated on schedule. Routine updates prevent the security gaps and compatibility issues that break sites without warning.

Regular Backups

Your site is backed up automatically so you never lose content, data, or configuration. Higher-tier plans include daily backups for maximum protection.

Performance Checks

We monitor load times and flag issues before they impact your SEO rankings or visitor experience. A fast site keeps people on the page — and Google ranking it.

Direct Access to Andrew

No support tickets. No waiting in a queue. When something comes up, you reach Andrew directly — the same person who built your site and knows every detail of your setup.

Flywheel Infrastructure

All managed WordPress plans run on Flywheel-powered hosting — fast servers, built-in CDN on higher tiers, and infrastructure that’s purpose-built for WordPress performance.

*Unlimited custom development hours are subject to fair use. Most clients never hit a cap, but we reserve the right to recommend a scoped upgrade if requests exceed standard usage or involve a full-site rebuild.

Migration

Already Hosted Somewhere Else? We Make the Move Easy.

Switching hosting providers sounds complicated. It doesn’t have to be. We handle the entire migration so there’s no downtime, no lost data, and no headaches on your end.

Hands-Free Migration

We partner with Flywheel to provide professional migrations completed in under 12 hours for $99 per site. You do nothing — we handle everything.

Guided DIY Transfer

Prefer to move it yourself? We’ll walk you through a secure, plugin-based migration step by step — so nothing gets lost and your site lands exactly as it should.

Maintenance Works Best When It’s Part of a Larger Strategy

A well-maintained site is the foundation. Pair it with the right services and it becomes a growth engine.

Maintenance + Hosting

Our maintenance plans run on Flywheel-powered hosting by default — not generic shared servers. That means every update, backup, and security check is happening on infrastructure built for WordPress speed and reliability. If you’re on a slow host elsewhere, the move alone will improve your site’s performance.

Maintenance + Web Design

Clients who have Andrew build their site can roll directly into a care plan — meaning the same person who built every detail of your site is also the one keeping it running. No handoff to a third-party support team who has never seen your setup. The continuity matters when something needs to be fixed fast.

What Happens When Your Site Is Actually Looked After

“We hadn’t touched our site in over a year. Andrew found three plugins that were completely out of date and flagged a security issue we had no idea about. Within a week everything was patched, the site was faster, and we finally felt like it was actually being managed.”

— Good Fellas Agency Client

That’s what a maintenance plan actually looks like in practice — not just a recurring charge, but someone actively watching your site and handling problems before they cost you anything. That’s the standard on every plan we offer.

Frequently Asked Questions About WordPress maintenance services

What happens if my site gets hacked?

If your site is on one of our plans, we handle it. We run regular security scans and malware checks that catch problems before they become full breaches — but if something does get through, we clean it up and get you back online. Without a maintenance plan, you’re on your own for a problem that can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars to fix.

Do I need to do anything once I’m on a plan?

No. That’s the point. We handle plugin updates, core updates, security scans, and backups on a scheduled basis. If something needs your input — a content change, a feature request — you reach out directly to Andrew and it gets handled. You don’t manage a ticket queue or figure out what needs doing next.

What’s the difference between the Starter and Essentials plans?

Starter covers the basics: security, backups, and email support — enough to keep a simple site safe and stable. Essentials adds a staging site, monthly plugin update checks, speed optimization, and 10 dev hours per month for small changes and fixes. If your site generates leads or revenue, Essentials is the minimum we’d recommend.

What are dev hours and what can I use them for?

Dev hours are time Andrew can spend making changes to your site — content updates, layout tweaks, adding pages, fixing bugs, improving load time, or anything else that needs hands on the code. They don’t roll over, but they also don’t disappear if unused in a quiet month. Most clients use them for small ongoing improvements that keep the site sharp.

Can I cancel my plan at any time?

Yes. Plans are month-to-month and there’s no long-term contract. If you want to cancel, let Andrew know and it’s done. We’ll make sure your site is in good standing before we hand it off so you’re not left with a mess.

What platform do you host on?

We use Flywheel, a managed WordPress hosting platform built specifically for WordPress performance and security. It’s not a generic shared hosting setup — it’s purpose-built for the kind of sites we manage. If you need hosting separately, see our website hosting plans.

Do you work on sites you didn’t build?

Yes, with a brief audit first. Before we take on maintenance for a site we didn’t build, we do a quick review to understand how it’s set up and flag anything that needs to be addressed. Most sites qualify — we just need to know what we’re working with before we commit to keeping it running.

How is this different from just doing updates myself?

Updates that aren’t tested before they’re pushed can break things — and they frequently do. We run updates on a staging environment, verify nothing broke, then push to live. We also track what changed, run post-update performance checks, and catch issues before your visitors do. DIY updates skip all of that, and one bad plugin update can take down a site that’s actively generating leads.
