Why You Need a Website Maintenance Package
Stay Secure with Enhanced Website Protection
Cyberattacks are like the digital world’s pickpockets—always lurking around the corner. A website care plan acts like a personal bodyguard for your site. Regular security updates and vulnerability monitoring are essential. Care plans offer comprehensive security measures to keep those cyber pickpockets at bay.
Never Miss a Beat with Continuous Updates
Websites need regular updates to function correctly and stay secure. Ignoring updates is like skipping oil changes for your car—it’s only a matter of time before something goes wrong. Care plans ensure timely updates for software, plugins, and themes, especially for WordPress sites.
Speed Matters: Performance Optimization
In the digital world, speed is king. Nobody wants to wait around for a slow-loading website. In fact, slow performance can start to impact your SEO. Care plans include performance monitoring and optimization, ensuring your site runs like a race car—fast and smooth, keeping visitors happy and engaged.
Safety Nets: Regular Backups and Disaster Recovery
Imagine losing all your website data—nightmare, right? Regular backups are the safety net that ensures you can bounce back from any disaster. Care plans include routine backups and streamlined disaster recovery processes, safeguarding your website’s data and ensuring quick recovery from any issues.
Picking the Perfect Website Care Plan
Assess What Your Website Really Needs
First things first, figure out what your website actually needs. Is it a traffic magnet or a quiet corner store? Does it need frequent content updates, or is it more of a set-it-and-forget-it site? Are you looking to integrate emerging technology and connect your external systems, or do you simply want protection for what your website is today? Knowing this helps you pick the right care plan and the right website partner.
Know Your Care Plan Features
Not all care plans are created equal. Look at what’s included—security scans, uptime monitoring, backups, malware removal, speed optimization, reporting, content updates or task hours, SEO optimizations, or analytics. Look for a care plan that has features matching your needs. CauseLabs’ plans for example, do not include SEO however, we do offer separate add-on services for SEO since it is rarely a one-and-done effort especially if you are continuing to add content and media to your website.
Choose the Best Care Plan Provider
Finding the right provider is like finding a good mechanic—someone you can trust with your precious asset. Look for excellent support, reasonable pricing, and a stellar reputation. Check reviews and ask questions to ensure they’re the right fit. Choosing the wrong provider can put you out and no one wants to deal with that.

Can I maintain my website myself?
Sure, if you’ve got the time and technical expertise. But care plans offer professional maintenance, allowing you to focus on other business aspects. If you know you can’t afford working with anyone right now and you have to put in the sweat equity, we have a free guide on the five essential maintenance steps for WordPress websites. It’s written to help nonprofits, but it will be the same steps and tools for any business. It won’t be as comprehensive as a website care plan, but the tools recommended are free or low cost and will at least give you some important coverage. We’ve all been there, starting out a business and needing to stretch our budget a little further.
Another useful resource to get started with is WordPress.org’s documentation on website maintenance. Some of this goes beyond backend website care plans and can help you and your team plan for general best practices in keeping your website at its best.
What happens if my website gets hacked or goes down?
Your service provider will jump into action, handle the issue, and restore the site using backups. It’s like having a digital first-aid kit on standby. When this doesn’t exist your website can be down for days and that can impact your financials as well as your reputation as an organization.
Do care plans improve user experience?
Absolutely! Keeping your website updated, secure, and optimized enhances performance, accessibility, compatibility, and functionality, making for a better user experience. Can plans can also help your team more easily manage your website.
