Who knew having a website would be so much work!?
WordPress is promoted as a great tool for helping small businesses, self-employeds, creatives and hobbyists create a custom website and get online quickly. What no one mentions is the constant challenge it can be to maintain and protect.
When non-developers create WordPress websites without understanding that it will require monitoring, much like a baby needs regular care and feeding, what was supposed to be simple can become frustrating and time consuming very quickly!
If this sounds like your experience with WordPress, my WP Babysitter service will give you time back to enhance your content, work on your marketing strategy and have the website you want… and maybe even get some time away from your website.
Websites are like kids. They need a LOT of care and things can go wrong.
Have you ever had a problem on your site, but didn’t have a backup? Do you get overwhelmed with all the alerts and notices you were supposed to be keeping up with as a site owner? Does the sound of the phrase “WordPress Core Update” send shivers down your spine? Have you ever been paralyzed by the dreaded WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH? As a fellow WordPress user, I feel your pain!
Like parenting, without help, you can be left overwhelmed and overworked.
I work with a lot of DIY shop owners and service providers who want to create and maintain their own content, but aren’t technical and don’t want to be burdened with mundane tasks like software updates or malware monitoring. They started their websites for many reasons other than to learn how WordPress works and how to keep it running smoothly.
You can trust me with your website
I’ve actually been doing this for a while now. When I started working with WordPress in 2008, it all seemed so big and daunting, plugins, themes… core updates?! My heart would drop at the The White Screen of Death (WSOD) and the lessons of restoring to backups are ever etched in my psyche. I’ve learned to anticipate the plugins that will cause update issues and pay close attention to website security news.
Luckily over the last two decades of building and caring for websites large and small, the most valuable lesson learned is maintaining your WordPress website is an absolute must. A website left to decline will most certainly suffer in speed, user experience and can become a security risk — to you, your visitor or your customers. My methods for WordPress backup and maintenance work and have been proven and perfected on dozens of websites.

Emily @ WP Babysitter is very competent and extremely conscientious of her work as a “techy”. Give her a very deserved shot and see for yourselves. I can personally testify to her work ethics and responsibility, and would recommend her highly.

WP Babysitter enables me to place my full attention on my artistic work and content creation. There is never any opportunity for serious issues to arise because Emily is absolutely on top of the inner workings of every web presence she curates, with an attention to detail and upgrade potentials that keep things running smoothly and growing with you. I cannot recommend her and her services highly enough. Every creative with a web presence would do well to engage her for the long haul.

It is such a relief to know that my website is in good hands. Emily at WP Babysitter is very professional and easy to deal with. I am not techie at all and she explains everything to me in a very thorough way. Emily is very knowledgeable when it comes to websites and web maintenance. I am content knowing that my website is backed up on a regular basis if there should ever be a problem.

Emily at WP Babysitter totally takes care of the constant code updates and malware attacks that impact my business' site. I can't imagine how much time I'd lose, frustration I'd gain and clients I'd p*ssed off if I tried to manage the technology running my website. Thank you, WPB!!!

Your website is worth it!
I hear from a lot of small website owners that the peace of mind they get from having a regular ‘babysitter’ for their website allows them to focus on the original purpose of their website. It’s a value-add to allow them freedom to spend time in other ways than troubleshooting a website issue they don’t understand. Further, I keep up with what’s current in the WordPress product and security arenas, so you don’t have to.

Backup and Maintenance of one WordPress site for one year
What is “Website Care”?
WordPress websites need care and feeding, just like children do. Regular website asset upkeep (keeping the core, plugin and theme files up to date) keeps your website secure and regular backups safeguard you from losing data if something does go drastically wrong. I can help by keeping an eye on those things while you create your content or post and promote your products and services.
