Care Plans
Our Website Care Plan and Why You Need One.
As the most effective and least expensive marketing tactic, your website is your most valuable promotional tool. But simply having a site up and running is not enough. Just like a car, your website requires routine maintenance. It is crucial to regularly update and maintain your site to ensure it's running at full capacity.
Most small business owners don't have the staff or time to perform routine maintenance professionally. But did you know we can take care of routine maintenance for as little as $10/day? That's less than your monthly operating expenses and significantly cheaper than hiring staff.
Here are a couple of examples of the importance of website maintenance:
- Website speed is the first impression you ever make. People visit your website looking for something. Avoid user frustration - give it to them as quickly as possible by implementing a thorough maintenance plan.
- Search engines such as Google and Bing raise rankings for websites that are updated regularly. Realize new and returning visitors by updating broken links, removing duplicate pages, and keeping content fresh.
- A well-maintained website helps promote your brand, mission, and work. Content such as blogs, newsletters, calendars, and images need to be fresh and relevant. A good maintenance plan can help with that.

Website Care Plans
Here at Jason Hunter Design, we love building great websites for our clients, but just as important to us is making sure those websites continue to function and prosper. It’s a bit like hiring a landscaper to build you a gorgeous garden and then have them keep the lawn mowed, the beds weeded, and the bushes trimmed. And since we’re experts at building high-functioning, compelling websites, we’re also experts in keeping them that way. Best of all, we’re here to answer your questions and help you deal with any issues that may arise, from hosting to HTML.Our Website Care Plans include daily updates of the WordPress core software, your theme files, and your plugin files. We perform updates on your site once per week for the items that appear in the “Updates” area of your WordPress dashboard. If you hired us to build your site and we implemented premium plugins that require an annual paid subscription to receive updates, we will maintain the appropriate licenses for you as long as you subscribe to the Care Plan service. If we did not build your site and it includes premium plugins such as these, the responsibility is yours for maintaining the appropriate licensing to ensure the availability of updates.
We cannot be held liable for problems such as but not limited to hacks, inoperability or inter-compatibility that arise from premium plugins which you choose not to license and are out of date.
Should your site become compromised by a hack or if your site becomes inoperable because of user error, we will restore a backup for you. If the restorations are the result of a hack, there is no limit to the number of restorations we will perform for you under this service. If the restorations are due to user error, we will perform a maximum of 3 restorations in any 30- day period. Additional user error-related restorations will be performed at our current hourly rate with a one-hour minimum.
As part of our Website Care Plan Service, we will also take appropriate action at no cost when an update to a plugin creates conflicts or causes issues with the functionality of your website. The actions we take typically involve the removal of the offending plugin and replacement with a similar plugin or other programming. Should such an issue occur, we will consult with you to determine the best course of action.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO INFORM US IF YOUR SITE IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AND NEEDS ATTENTION.
