Website Maintenance & Care Plans in Chicago

A website isn’t a crock-pot — you can’t set it and forget it. My care plans keep your site secure, updated, backed up, and improving, handled by the person who knows it best: the one who built it.

What happens to unmaintained websites

Outdated sites get hacked, slow down, and quietly lose rankings. Contact forms break and nobody notices for months. Software updates conflict and the site goes down on your busiest day. None of this is dramatic — it’s just entropy. A care plan is the difference between a website that quietly makes you money and one that quietly costs you customers.

A real person, not a support ticket

When something needs changing — new hours, a new service, a photo swap, a menu update — you call or email me directly and it gets done. No ticket queue, no “your request is important to us,” no waiting two weeks for a text change. Most updates are handled within one business day, because the person maintaining your site already knows every line of it.

Reporting you’ll actually read

Every month you get a short, plain-language report: uptime, backups confirmed, updates applied, and how your traffic and rankings are moving. If something needs attention — a slowing page, a dropping keyword, a broken link — you hear it from me before it costs you a customer. In English or Spanish, whichever you prefer.

What’s included

  • Software & security updates applied monthly
  • Daily/weekly backups with verified restores
  • Uptime & performance monitoring
  • Monthly content changes included
  • Direct line to your web pro — no tickets
  • Plain-language monthly report (EN or ES)

How this works

  1. Onboard & baseline

    I document your site, set up monitoring and backups, and fix anything urgent in the first week.

  2. Maintain monthly

    Updates, backups, security checks, and your content changes — handled on a schedule, not when something breaks.

  3. Report & improve

    A short monthly report plus honest recommendations when something’s worth improving. No upsell pressure.

What it costs

Care plans start at $95/month for standard business sites. No long-term contract — you stay because it’s worth it, not because you’re locked in.
