How our WordPress care packages work and What's included
1. Initial Setup
This is our "get to know you" and tool setup process. During this step, we make sure you have the basics covered by running a full website audit specifically looking into the following:
- Ensuring your WordPress plugins and software are up-to-date
- Confirming your website is secure and clean (i.e. no evidence of malicious code)
- Reviewing the overall construction and code of your website to identify potential challenges you may encounter in the future
- Evaluating your hosting environment and whether it can support your business goals
- Crafting a detailed roadmap that will document the steps necessary for managing your website and tackling your future marketing initiatives
2. Daily
Once our systems are set up to alert us to any critical issues, we'll follow up with any pertinent items as they're uncovered. Our tools provide continuous monitoring across the entire health of your website. This includes the following:
- Performing full backups of your site
- Conducting comprehensive malware and malicious code scans
- Reviewing potential blacklisting and other search rankings concerns from Google
- Tracking website uptime to ensure continued access
- Monitoring domain and nameserver status including SSL and DNS record changes
- Watching website indexing and XML sitemap to ensure complete accessibility to Google
3. Monthly
Every month we'll make any necessary plugin and core WordPress updates to your site. This includes any security-related plugin releases the moment we're notified of a potential threat to your website. This monthly update process consists of the following:
- Notifying you when updates are scheduled for your site
- Run all necessary updates on your WordPress website
- Notify you when all updates have been completed
4. Ongoing
If an issue should arise, we conduct detailed logging and report generation to help get to the bottom of the problem. This includes the following:

How much does it cost to hire someone to manage a website?
Your neighbor’s uncle’s sister may cost $25/hr as they look to build out a portfolio that may or may not be good. Someone from the Middle East may cost $12/hr, and they may disappear for weeks on end. If you own a legitimate business, it’s worth it to invest in an agency with a track record, one like WhatArmy, who’s been in business for 12+ years to manage your website. Digital agencies can help small business owners and marketing leaders take their websites to the next level. If the check engine light is on in your car, are you going to bring it to an auto shop to get it done right or are you going to try and diagnose and fix the issue yourself? At the end of the day, you get what you pay for.

How much does it cost to have a website built for a small business?
How much does a kitchen remodel cost? If you’re good with the stock cabinets, standard appliances, and ceramic countertops you can have a serviceable kitchen. That said, if you’re big time, you can have custom cabinetry, Chef’s Kitchen, and marble countertops to really spruce the place up.
Websites are similar, you can create a simple, static, theme-based website, or you can deck the thing out in beautiful design, elegant animations, data-driven conversion outcomes, and custom development. Oh, and do you need content developed? How about graphics? A new logo? There are many layers to the website onion that can impact the cost of a small business website.
That said you could spend anywhere between $5,000, all the way into the 6 figures for a new website.
How can I manage my website by myself?
We recommend using WatchTowerHQ, it’s the best way to manage your website. You can auto-schedule plugin updates, take daily backups, and see how your website is performing all in one place.
