WordPress care, security and help when you need it
Website maintenance Victor Harbor businesses can set and forget, with updates, backups, security checks and real support from $19 a month.
Up to date, secure and running well all year
A website is not something you build once and forget. WordPress, its plugins and its theme all release updates that fix bugs and close security holes. Leave them for a year and the site slowly gets slower, buggier and easier to break into.
My website updates and support service keeps all of that ticking over for you. I handle the updates, the backups and the security checks. I am a phone call or email away when you need a change made. You get on with running your business on the south coast while your site quietly does its job.
Every new site I build comes with its first year of WordPress maintenance free. Once that year is up you can choose one of the plans below. The same plans work for sites built by someone else.
Everything I can look after for you
These are the jobs I take care of for Victor Harbor and Fleurieu businesses. Some come with a plan and some are done as needed.
New text, photos, blog posts and product pages added for you, from a price change to a whole new page.
WordPress core, plugins and themes updated safely, with a backup taken first and the site checked after.
Regular scans for malware and known weaknesses, with patches applied before they become a problem.
Database tidy ups, image compression and caching to keep pages loading quickly on phones.
Dead links found and fixed so visitors and Google do not hit error pages.
Backups stored off the server, so your site can be restored quickly if anything goes wrong.
Page titles, descriptions and search settings kept in order as your site changes.
Help with forms that stop sending, email hiccups, login troubles and anything that looks odd.

Not sure which plan suits? Ring me on 0413 651 740 and I will recommend one based on how your site is used.
Matching the plan to how busy your site is
If your site is a simple brochure that changes a couple of times a year, Basic keeps it patched and backed up for less than the price of a coffee a week. Essentials adds more frequent updates and a security scan, which suits sites with a blog or a booking form.
Business is the plan most people choose. Daily backups mean you never lose more than a day of changes. Uptime monitoring tells me straight away if the site goes down. Elite is built for online shops and sites that rely on Google, adding daily scans, rank tracking and Cloudflare. If your site gets busy over summer and whale season, it is worth having more cover.
Ring or email and it gets done
Plenty of support work is small. New opening hours for winter, a menu change, a staff photo, a banner for the long weekend or a fix for a form that has stopped sending. I take these by phone or email and get them done quickly, without you needing to learn where every setting lives.
Bigger jobs like new service pages, a shop or a full website redesign are quoted separately so you always know the cost up front.

Website Design Victor Harbor looks after WordPress websites for small businesses in Victor Harbor and right across the Fleurieu. Nick handles updates, backups, security scans and changes under monthly plans from $19 including GST. Sites he did not build can be taken on too, after a quick check to make sure they are healthy.
Website maintenance in Victor Harbor costs from $19 a month including GST with Website Design Victor Harbor. The Essentials plan is $59, Business is $99 and Elite is $189 a month. All plans are month to month with 30 days notice. Each one includes backups, updates and a maintenance report.
A WordPress website that is never updated becomes easier to hack and slower over time, because old plugins carry known security holes. Hackers scan the web for those weak spots automatically. Regular updates with a backup taken first are the simplest way to avoid needing hacked website repair.
Nick can maintain a WordPress website built by another designer for any Fleurieu business. He starts by checking the site, taking a full backup and updating anything that has fallen behind. If something is badly out of date or broken, he explains what needs fixing before the monthly plan begins.
Website support plans from Website Design Victor Harbor run month to month with no lock in contract. You can cancel with 30 days notice. Most clients stay because it is cheaper than fixing a broken or hacked site, but you are never stuck if your needs change.
Small changes to a Victor Harbor website, like new hours, prices or photos, are usually done within a working day or two of the request. Just email or call Nick with what you need. Larger changes such as new pages are quoted first so there are no surprises on the bill.
Every maintenance plan from Website Design Victor Harbor includes backups stored away from the website server. How often they run depends on the plan, from monthly on Basic to daily on Business and Elite. If something breaks, Nick restores the most recent clean copy so the site is back up quickly.
Tell me about your site and I will suggest the plan that fits. No lock in and no fuss.
