Reviews from our clients
Questions about pricing
How do you decide how many hours I need?
It depends on what we look after. Basic site and server maintenance is 2 hours a month, and an online store with its server takes at least 3. WordPress server maintenance has a fixed monthly price, and for a cloud setup we recommend 5 hours. How many hours your store or cloud setup needs, we tell you in the quote, based on what you tell us and your answers to our questions.
Can I add more hours?
Yes. You add extra hours a month yourself on the pricing page or when you order, at the hourly rate.
What do you do in those hours?
Once a month we update WordPress, the plugins and the theme, trying them on a copy of the site first. For a critical vulnerability we update right away, without waiting. We keep backups, watch that the site is up and send you a report every month. For a store, we also check orders, couriers and payments after every update.
Do unused hours carry over?
No. The hours are for that month, and unused ones do not carry over to the next.
Do I have to move my site or store to you?
No. We look after it where it is, with your host, on your own server or in your own cloud account.
How do I give you access to the site?
Not through the forms on the site. After the order, or once you accept the quote, we arrange access securely.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer, against a pro forma invoice we send you after the order. You pay monthly or yearly, and yearly billing for basic site and server maintenance gets you 2 months free. Server maintenance is billed monthly.
How does maintenance start?
You order basic site and server maintenance and server maintenance online. For an online store or a cloud setup, you get a quote first. Once you have paid the pro forma invoice, we arrange access and get started, and every month we send you a report.
