Maintenance Plan FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why do I need a Website Maintenance Plan?
    If you have ever tried to update your website and encountered an error or the scary "White Screen of Death", you know that it pays to have a technical partner who can fix problems. You also know that learning the ins and outs of website technology takes a lot of time—time you don't have when you're busy running a business. Website downtime costs you money. A Website Maintenance Plan provides invaluable peace of mind.  Leave the technical stuff to us and focus on your core business.

    [*] Premium (“paid”) plugins and themes usually require an active subscription license in order to receive updates. If your subscription has expired, you will need to renew it in order for us to update the plugin or theme. License costs are the website owner’s responsibility and are not covered by the Maintenance Plan.
