WordPress website support and updates
Your WordPress website gets updated regularly and under supervision: before an update I save a copy of the site, and afterwards I check the pages, forms and how it looks on a phone. Every month you get a short report on what was updated and where the time went.
Who it is for
- Your WordPress website brings in enquiries, and every breakdown costs money straight away.
- The core and plugins have not been updated for months, and you would rather not do it yourself.
- Another contractor built the site, and nobody is looking after it now.
- Small changes come up every month, and it is easier when one person handles them.
What is included
- Updating the WordPress core, theme and plugins
- A copy of the site before each update, so the changes can be rolled back if something fails
- Checks after updates: pages, forms, enquiries, the mobile view
- Sorting out plugin conflicts that show up after an update
- Removing unused plugins once you agree
- Small content and layout changes within the package hours
- A short monthly report: what was updated and where the time went
Billed separately
- Work beyond 4 hours a month, from 90 BYN/hour once agreed
- Paid plugins and themes: licences are paid to their developers
- New sections, a redesign and major improvements, estimated separately

FAQ
How much does WordPress website support cost?
From 360 BYN per month. The package includes 4 hours of work: updates, site checks and small changes. Each month is paid in advance. If there are more tasks, I work beyond the package from 90 BYN/hour once we agree.
Why update WordPress and plugins at all?
In new versions, the developers of WordPress and its plugins fix bugs and vulnerabilities. A site that has not been updated for years is harder to update in one go: incompatibilities between the theme and plugins pile up. Regular small updates are easier to check.
What if an update breaks something?
Before an update I save a copy of the site. If a plugin conflicts with the theme or another plugin after the update, I roll the changes back and work out the cause within the package hours. If a plugin is no longer maintained by its author, I suggest a replacement.
What if the site has not been updated for several years?
I start with a check rather than an update: which versions are installed, which plugins are no longer maintained and which of them the site really needs. I update in parts and check the site after each step. If this work does not fit into the package hours, I estimate it separately before starting.
Can I stop the support?
Yes. Support is paid month by month: if the next month is not paid, the work ends. Access to the site stays with you, and once the work ends I advise changing the passwords.
