Custom emailed recommendations I’ll send you a monthly email digest with your scores, how they’ve changed within the last 30 days, how they compare to peers on average, and your top opportunities to improve. | Y | Y | Y |
Optional WooCommerce metrics For sites running WooCommerce and providing me with read-only REST API keys, I monitor your active plugin count, PHP, WordPress, and WooCommerce versions, so we know when it’s time to upgrade or can see when there’s deferred maintenance pending. | Y | Y | Y |
Site evaluation + meeting (qty 1) I conduct a two hour site evaluation and hold a one hour call with you to review findings and recommendations on your project Trello board. If you are an existing client and not enough has changed on your site to warrant a site evaluation at the outset or renewal of this plan, then I instead credit the two hour site evaluation and / or one hour findings meeting to your balance of dev and support hours. | Y | Y | Y |
Theme updates & testing I manually apply theme updates and test to ensure success. Includes theme updates that contain fixes, improvements, and minor feature adjustments. Major upgrades that require coding are not included. I will inform you whenever we face that scenario, usually not very often, depends upon your theme selection and past modifications. | N | Y | Y |
App / plugin updates & testing I manually apply App or plugin updates and test to ensure success. Includes updates that contain fixes, improvements, and minor feature adjustments. Major upgrades that require coding are not included. I will inform you whenever we face that scenario, usually not very often, depends on how many third party Apps or plugins that you use. | N | Y | Y |
Platform / core updates WooCommerce releases each month, WordPress a few times a year, Shopify seldom. I apply platform updates unless they require coding, in which case I’ll get in touch with you. | N | Y | Y |
Monthly Zoom meeting (30 minutes) We meet briefly every month over Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, or Skype to catch-up on your project. Meetings are scheduled on my Meetings page, typically with a day or two notice. | N | N | Y |
Quick support requests (10 minutes/ea) Email me requests and I answer them accounting for the time in up to 10 minute increments used against your credit of 24 per plan cycle. | N | N | Y |
Plan cycle (number of months) This is the period in which you are paying for services. Prices are quoted monthly for convenience and comparison purposes, but are charged in advance (prepaid) for a specific period. Smaller plans require a longer commitment whereas larger plans are kept shorter for flexibility. You can change plans at the end of your plan cycle. There is no automatic renewal. Failing to renew means your service will be cancelled. I will be in touch when the time approaches. | 12 | 6 | 4 |
Total price over plan cycle | $588 | $954 | $1,476 |
