WordPress Website Care Plans – Affordable Site Upkeep for Small Businesses
Professional, client-focused technical care and security monitoring for your WordPress site – so you don’t have to!
Pretty scary stat…
While fun to create, WordPress websites require monitoring and maintenance, much like a baby needs regular care and feeding. What was supposed to be simple can become frustrating and time consuming very quickly!
because when you’re a small business owner your lists have lists and you don’t want to have to worry about the security of your website or the safety of your customer and website visitors.
The good news? All of this is preventable — and more affordable than you'd think.
Your website stays up, secure, and updated, without you lifting a finger. Perfect if you have a simple site and just want to focus on your message and stop worrying about the tech.
Everything in Basic Service, plus daily backups, error monitoring, and monthly checkout testing — because your customers shouldn’t be the ones who tell you something’s broken.
Your website runs integrations, automations, or custom applications. This plan verifies it’s all actually working — end to end, not just on the surface.
Your plugins and theme stay current — before outdated software becomes a problem.
Your site is backed up offsite regularly, so a bad update never means starting from scratch.
WordPress itself gets updated carefully and only when a new version is proven stable.
Your database stays clean and optimized so your site loads fast and runs smoothly.
Regular scans catch malware, code injections, and spam attacks before your visitors do.
Keep hackers at bay
Getting WP updates wrong can leave you wide open to hackers and BOTS!
The care your site needs
WP Babysitter keeps your website running smoothly & securely by carefully choosing professional plugins, keeping these plus your theme & core WP software updated and playing together nicely, and I monitor your site so if there is a problem, it can be quickly fixed or restored.
I’m Emily Sparkle, a web developer in Western MA. I’ve been building and troubleshooting websites since the mid-1990s — and when I discovered WordPress in 2008, I learned the hard way just how much can go wrong. The White Screen of Death. Outdated theme files. Broken checkouts. Broken layouts. Broken forms. Plugin conflicts that take down entire sites. Hacky files. I’ve seen it all, fixed it, and now I make sure it doesn’t happen to you.
I hear from a lot of small website owners that the peace of mind they get from having a regular ‘babysitter’ for their website maintenance 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. Did you know that most security problems stem from third-party plugins and apps?
I only use trusted vendors, and I keep up with what’s current in the WordPress product and security arenas, so you don’t have to.
Awesome, thanks! Best money I spend each year! You are the best!

Thanks for the clarity, I get it now 🙂 I should know such things but somehow this stuff flies over my head, thus Emily with her tech cape arrives, thank you!

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!!!
