YOUR SOLUTION FOR
WordPress Website Maintenance & Security Services for Small Business
No piecing together tools. No chasing down a developer when something breaks. Just reliable, predictable website care from a team that already knows your site.
Web Equipped Monthly Support Plan — $100/month
Web Equipped has simplified website maintenance and support into one plan that covers everything a small business website needs to stay healthy, secure, and running reliably.
This plan includes:
| Feature | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Premium Security Protection | A licensed WordFence license actively blocks threats, malware, and unauthorized access. |
| Automated Daily Backups | Your data and website files are backed up every day, enabling fast recovery if something goes wrong. |
| Performance Optimization & Caching | We fine-tune your site’s speed and implement caching to keep load times fast for your visitors. |
| Uptime Monitoring & Proactive Maintenance | We watch for downtime 24/7 and perform routine checks to prevent issues before they start. |
| Hosting & Environment Oversight | We monitor your hosting environment to ensure server-level compatibility and stability. |
| 24-Hour Response Time | For any IT Help Desk request or website update request, you’ll hear back from our team within one business day. |
| 15 Minutes of Dev Time or Tech Support | New! Need a small text change, a plugin tweak, or a technical question answered? Use your included time for development updates or support. |
This plan is ideal for clients who want their website protected, monitored, and maintained with minimal ongoing development or tech support requests.
Already have a site built by Web Equipped? The Base Support Plan is the perfect way to protect your investment and ensure its longevity.
What’s included — No Technical Jargon
Daily backups Every day, your complete website — files, database, media — is backed up automatically. If a plugin update causes a conflict, a hack occurs, or something simply goes wrong, we can restore your site to a clean state within hours, not days.
WordPress security monitoring We include a premium Wordfence license on every protected site. Wordfence actively scans for malware, blocks brute-force login attempts, flags vulnerable plugins, and alerts us to unauthorized access in real time. Most security breaches on WordPress sites happen because nobody was watching — we watch.
Core, plugin, and theme updates Outdated plugins are the #1 entry point for WordPress hacks. We handle all core software, plugin, and theme updates on your behalf, including compatibility testing after each update to ensure nothing breaks.
Performance optimization and caching Slow websites lose visitors and rank lower in Google. We implement and manage caching, optimize your site’s performance settings, and monitor load times to keep your site fast for users and search engines.
Uptime monitoring If your site goes down, we know before you do. We monitor uptime around the clock and respond immediately to outages, minimizing the impact on your business and your visitors.
Development and tech support time Every month includes 15 minutes of hands-on time for small requests — a text change, an image swap, a plugin question, a settings tweak. For clients who need more, additional development time is available at our standard rate.
Proactive security — not reactive fixes
Security threats evolve constantly. Outdated, unmonitored WordPress sites are among the most commonly targeted websites on the internet — not because they’re high-value targets, but because they’re easy ones.
Our approach focuses on prevention and early detection rather than emergency cleanup after the fact. With Wordfence Premium active on your site, we protect against:
- Malware and malicious code injections
- Unauthorized login attempts and brute-force attacks
- Vulnerable plugins, themes, and outdated WordPress core versions
- Exploits caused by unpatched software
A hacked website doesn’t just cause downtime — it can result in Google penalties, removal from search results, and loss of visitor trust that takes months to rebuild. Proactive maintenance is significantly cheaper than recovering from a breach.
Who the Monthly Support Plan is for
Websites built by Web Equipped Your new site is already set up to be enrolled in ongoing protection. The Monthly Support Plan is the natural next step after launch, ensuring your investment stays secure and performs well long-term.
Existing websites we inherit Already have a WordPress site built by someone else? We’ll audit its current condition, bring it up to our security and performance standards, and onboard it into the support plan. We evaluate all incoming sites before onboarding to establish a clean, stable baseline.
Non-WordPress websites While WordPress is our primary platform, we support and maintain sites on other platforms as well. Contact us to discuss your specific setup.
Our process for new support clients
1. Site audit Before we take on maintenance responsibility for any site, we assess its current state — plugin versions, security exposure, performance, and hosting environment. This is included at no charge for new clients.
2. Stabilization (if needed) If we find critical vulnerabilities or outdated software during the audit, we address those before the monthly plan begins. A clean baseline means our ongoing maintenance actually works.
3. Onboarding We configure Wordfence, set up daily backups, implement caching, and connect uptime monitoring. Your site enters active protection.
4. Ongoing monthly care Updates, monitoring, backups, and support run on a regular cycle. You receive a response within 24 hours for any request and hear from us proactively if we spot anything that needs attention.
Why regular maintenance matters for SEO
Website maintenance and search engine optimization are more connected than most small business owners realize. Google actively factors site health into rankings — and several common maintenance failures directly suppress organic performance:
- Slow page load times caused by plugin bloat or unoptimized hosting suppress Core Web Vitals scores
- Hacked sites are often penalized or removed from search results entirely
- Broken links and 404 errors accumulate on unmaintained sites and erode crawl efficiency
- Outdated software can cause rendering issues that prevent Google from properly indexing your content
A maintained website is a better-performing website in search. If you’re investing in SEO, maintenance is what protects that investment. Learn about our SEO services for small business →
Pricing
Base Support Plan: $100/month
One plan, one price, everything included. No tiered confusion, no surprise invoices, no minimum contract length.
For clients who need more than 15 minutes of development time per month, additional hours are available at our standard development rate. We’ll always let you know before any billable work beyond your plan is performed.
If your site needs stabilization work before onboarding, we’ll scope that separately and clearly before starting.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if my site gets hacked while on the plan? We respond immediately. With Wordfence Premium active and daily backups in place, we can typically restore a compromised site to a clean state within hours. Security cleanup is covered as part of the plan for issues that originate from vulnerabilities we were actively monitoring.
Can you maintain a site that wasn’t built by Web Equipped? Yes. We onboard existing WordPress sites regularly. The process starts with a free site audit to assess its current condition. If remediation work is needed before we can maintain it responsibly, we’ll scope that clearly upfront.
Do you support non-WordPress platforms? Yes. While WordPress is our specialty, we support sites on Wix, Shopify, Framer, and other platforms. Contact us to discuss your specific setup and what a support plan would look like.
Is there a minimum contract length? No. The Monthly Support Plan runs month to month. We don’t require annual contracts because we’d rather earn your continued business through reliable service.
What counts toward the 15 minutes of dev time? Any hands-on work on your site — text edits, image changes, plugin configuration, settings updates, or answering a technical question that requires us to log in and check. If a request is going to take longer than your included time, we’ll tell you before proceeding.
What if I need a new page or major feature added? Larger development requests — new pages, redesigns, new functionality — are scoped and quoted as separate projects. Your monthly plan covers maintenance and minor support, not full development work. See our website design and development services →
Does the plan include hosting? Hosting environment oversight is included — we monitor your server for compatibility and stability issues. Hosting itself is a separate cost depending on your current provider. If you’d like us to manage hosting as well, we can discuss that as an add-on.
