Monthly Site Care Plan for Trade Businesses


Monthly Site Care Plan — £49/mo — AJ Web Design Cambridge

A trade business website does not look after itself. WordPress plugins go out of date, page speeds slip, and backups only exist if someone set them up. Most trade business websites run for years without anyone checking whether they are actually working correctly — until something breaks. The site care plan handles all of this every month for a flat fee.

The monthly site care plan is a rolling maintenance retainer that covers WordPress updates, off-server backups, monthly speed checks, and uptime monitoring for your trade business website. AJ Web Design runs everything in the background each month and sends a short report. Price: £49/mo, cancel any time.

What happens every month

Four tasks run every calendar month. You receive a brief report confirming each was completed.

WordPress core and plugin updates Every update applied and tested — no broken plugins left behind

Off-server backup Full site + database backed up to secure off-site storage

Page speed check Core Web Vitals checked — fixes applied if scores drop below threshold

Uptime monitoring Continuous monitoring — I'm alerted within minutes if your site goes down

One minor content change Phone number, price, photo, paragraph tweak — one small update per month if needed

Monthly report Short summary of what was done, current speed score, uptime percentage

The care plan is included at no extra cost if you are on the Local Domination Plan bundle. If you only need hosting and maintenance, the £49/mo standalone plan covers everything above.

Who this is for

The site care plan is for any trade business with a WordPress website that wants it maintained without having to think about it. It is most commonly used by plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, and other tradespeople whose website is a business asset — they need it working and fast, not a technical problem to manage themselves. If your site was built by AJ Web Design, the care plan keeps it performing exactly as built.

A WordPress site that hasn't been updated in six months has, on average, 12+ known security vulnerabilities. Plugin updates are not optional maintenance — they are the primary line of defence against site compromise. The care plan handles this automatically every month.

What clients say

"I never thought about website maintenance before. AJ explained what he does each month and why it matters. I get a short email with the report and haven't had to think about it since. Peace of mind for £49."

Simon W. — Plumber, Cambridge

"My old site went down for two days once and I didn't even know until a customer told me. Since the care plan, AJ spotted downtime within minutes and had it sorted before I knew there was a problem."

Fiona M. — Cleaning business, Ely

"AJ caught a plugin conflict during an update that would have broken the contact form. Sorted it before it went live. That's exactly why you pay for maintenance rather than hoping nothing breaks."

Ryan H. — Electrician, St Neots


Frequently asked questions about the site care plan

Monthly WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates; a full site backup stored off-server; a page speed check with fixes if scores drop; and uptime monitoring so I know if your site goes down before you do. Plus one minor content change per month if needed.
Uptime monitoring alerts me within minutes of any downtime. I'll investigate and fix it as a priority. Most downtime on maintained sites is resolved within an hour.
No. The care plan runs in the background. You get a short monthly report showing what was done, the current speed score, and uptime for the month. No action required from you.
Plugin and core updates are the primary defence against security vulnerabilities — keeping them current dramatically reduces risk. If the site is compromised despite updates, I'll work with you to restore from backup. A full malware clean-up may incur an additional one-off charge depending on severity.
Yes. Monthly rolling, cancel with one month's notice at any time.
Yes, if the site runs on WordPress. I'll need admin access to the site to run updates and backups. Sites on Wix, Squarespace, or other hosted builders are not covered.
One small update — changing a phone number, updating a price, adding a photo, tweaking a paragraph. It covers routine maintenance, not a redesign or new page build.
