Never a cost to leave. If we are building or redesigning your site; there is no setup fee if you are joining our maintenance program straight away as part of the project. 

If it’s been more than six months since we built your site or if you have made changes to the site since we built it within those six months, there is a Rm199 setup fee. 

If we didn’t build your site the setup fee starts at Rm199.

If you decide to decline our maintenance plan, there’s a lot that can go wrong. Here are the top reasons I recommend you make sure your website is maintained: 

• The site will not be optimized which leads to poor performance, slow loading times and a gradual loss of Google SEO rankings.
  
  
• The site’s tools, plugins, themes and WordPress itself will quickly go out of date which is the #1 leading cause of website hacks. It’s incredibly important to keep ALL your website tools and plugins up-to-date.
  
  
• You’ll have no backups or restore points so if the site get hacked or breached, you could lose all your content, pages and Google ranking. You won’t get a monthly report overviewing your site traffic, page views, etc.
  
  
• Most importantly, you won’t have us as your trusted webmaster to assist you with quick updates, tweaks, website issues, etc. Often you’ll have to try getting a hold of your hosting company for any assistance.

Negative on this one. The retainer of hourly updates is just covered for that month.

If your site should get compromised while you’re on the plan – we’ll take care of cleaning the site and getting everything squared away with Google at no extra cost to you. But have no fear; to date – we’ve had ZERO hacks or breaches with any sites on our maintenance plan.

We’ll always try to get your updates done within 1 hour to save you some extra cost but if you have a decent amount of updates that will require more hours, we’ll give you an estimate of time and do that at our hourly rate.

We’re pretty darn quick around these parts. We try to get to updates within 24-48hrs. As a monthly client, you always get top priority compared to clients who aren’t on the plan.
