Website Maintenance for Busy SA Owners
A website is like a car — it needs servicing, or it eventually breaks down. Our Care Plans handle hosting, backups, security, updates and monthly tweaks so you can run your business instead of fighting WordPress. From R750/month.
Most SA business sites get hacked because nobody is looking after them.
Outdated WordPress installs, expired SSL certs, unpatched plugins — these are the reasons we get phoned by panicked SA business owners every week. Their site is showing a Google warning, their email is going to spam, or their dashboard is showing Russian.
Our Care Plans prevent every one of those problems. Daily backups, weekly updates done by a real person (not an auto-updater), security hardening, uptime monitoring and a real human you can WhatsApp when something feels off.
All for less than the cost of a tank of fuel each month.
