What's included ## What every WordPress plan includes ### Updates tested on staging Every WordPress, plugin and theme update runs on a staging copy first. If something conflicts, we fix it before it reaches your live site. ### Fast managed hosting Your site runs on managed cloud hosting with a CDN, SSL and server-level caching, monitored around the clock. ### Security and backups Malware scanning, a firewall and daily off-site backups, so a bad update or a hack is a quick rollback, not a rebuild. ### A simple client portal Requests go through our own client portal, not a crowded inbox.

Every request becomes a ticket you can follow from start to finish, with the hours used shown as you go. 4. 04 ### Ongoing care & reporting Updates, backups and monitoring run every month without you asking, and you get a monthly report of everything we did.

Mint Media takes the whole job off your plate on a monthly plan. We host the site, apply WordPress core, plugin and theme updates on a staging copy first, keep daily off-site backups and scan for malware. If something breaks, a senior developer fixes it using the hours included in your plan. ### What is the best managed WordPress hosting for a small business? The best option is hosting that comes with people who maintain the site, not just a fast server. Most managed hosts look after the server, while plugin conflicts, broken layouts and content changes stay your job. Mint Media's plans combine managed hosting with a CDN and the developer hours to fix and improve the site, starting at $450 per month. ### How much should a WordPress care plan cost? Automated care plans start under $100 per month but include little or no developer time. Agency plans that include hosting and real developer hours usually run $350 to $1,000 or more. Mint Media's WordPress plans are $450, $750 and $1,050 per month for 3, 5 and 7 developer hours, with hosting included. ### Do you test plugin updates before they go live? Yes. Every update is applied to a staging copy of your site and checked before it reaches the live site. If an update causes a problem, we hold it back and fix the conflict first. FAQ ## Plan details ### Can you take over a WordPress site another developer built? Yes. Onboarding starts with an audit of the theme, plugins, hosting and security so we know what we are inheriting. We flag anything risky and fix it as part of your plan hours. ### Do you maintain WooCommerce stores? Yes. WooCommerce stores add $150 per month to any plan for checkout and payment testing after updates, order and stock monitoring, and extra caching for store pages. ### Is there a setup fee or a long-term contract? No. There is no setup fee and no minimum contract. Plans are billed monthly and you can cancel at any time. ### What happens to hours I don't use? Unused hours roll over for up to 3 months, so a quiet month is not wasted. If you need more time in a busy month, extra hours are billed at your plan's hourly rate. ### What isn't included in the monthly hours? Plan hours cover fixes, content changes and small improvements. Larger projects such as a redesign or a new feature set are quoted separately, and extra hours are billed at $150 per hour.
