Care plans (monthly) — updates, security patches, backups and uptime monitoring on a predictable retainer.

Maintenance that means
someone answers.
Launch day is the start, not the finish. Care plans that keep your system secure, backed up and improving — with a developer who answers when something breaks.
who this is for
Sound familiar?
- Sites hacked, defaced or broken after a plugin update
- Businesses whose developer vanished — it happens more than you'd think
- Teams that need fixes and small improvements without a new project each time
- Owners who want monitoring before customers notice downtime
the honest bit
What it costs.
Care plans typically run KES 5,000–15,000/month depending on system complexity and response SLA; one-off rescues are quoted after the audit. Details in my website maintenance guide for Kenya.
deliverables
What you get.
Bug fixes & debugging — systematic diagnosis, not plugin roulette.
Emergency rescue — hacked-site cleanup, broken-checkout recovery, restoration from backup.
Small improvements — new sections, landing pages, tweaks — inside the retainer, no re-quote dance.
Hosting management — server updates, SSL renewals, email and domain admin handled.
Honest reporting — what was done, what broke, what I'd fix next — monthly, in plain language.
how it ships
The process.
step 1
Audit first
A review of your stack, backups (do they exist? do they restore?), security and update debt.
step 2
Baseline & monitor
Backups verified, monitoring live — then maintenance starts from a known-good state.
step 3
Scheduled upkeep
Updates applied on staging where sensible, security patches promptly, reports monthly.
step 4
Priority support
Care-plan clients get same-day response; emergencies get immediate triage.
proof
Relevant work.
Not mockups — systems running in production.

faq
Straight answers.
My site was hacked — can you fix it?
Usually, yes. The process: isolate, clean, restore from verified backup, close the hole (usually an ancient plugin or weak credentials), then set monitoring so it doesn't happen twice.
My previous developer disappeared — can you take over?
Yes — takeovers are common. I audit access (domain, hosting, code, credentials), document what exists, then either maintain or recommend a rebuild depending on what I find.
Do I really need monthly maintenance?
If the site makes you money, yes — unmaintained sites rot: PHP versions move, plugins get exploited, SSL lapses, forms silently stop sending. A year of neglect costs more than a year of care.
What does the 30-day warranty cover?
Every build I ship includes 30 days of defect fixes free — bugs in what I built, on supported browsers and devices. New features and third-party breakages are separate, and priced transparently.
Tell me what's broken, slow or worrying — I'll audit it and tell you what it actually needs.
Written scope, honest pricing, 30-day defect warranty on everything I ship.
