WordPress Maintenence Service
Our WordPress Maintenance Service keeps your site in tip-top shape and safe from hackers and frequent, frustrating crashes.
Don’t Be Vulnerable
It’s important to keep up with your maintenance. Failing to do this can leave your site vulnerable to hackers or in a fragile state where crashes are frequent and frustrating!
Avoid Automatic Problems
The problem with automated updates to WordPress core files or plugins is that they can automate you right into a broken website, especially on major updates to WordPress or one of the plugins. It always comes as a surprise and it could take you days to find out that your site broke while you weren’t looking. It can also take a bunch of money to fix, especially if you don’t have a recent backup.
Get an Expert to Do It
Invouq’s website maintenance packages are different. A real WordPress expert will handle all of the updates, deciding each time which ones to do and which ones to wait on a little bit until they’re more mature. This even includes dreaded database updates.
Get a Ton of Value
The basic plan has your updates covered. The Business and Managed Hosting plans are packed with additional value. In addition to updates, you’ll also get a secure firewall, off-site backups, up-time monitoring, and analytics reporting.

Service Notes
“Auto-fix time” is the amount of time that we use to automatically address any issues that may arise during updates and security scan audits. If we see an issue pop up while we are performing the monthly updates, we simply fix it and we’ll tell you about it in the monthly report. If an issue arises that can’t be resolved within the allotted “auto-fix” time then the website will instead be restored to a previous, functioning version wherever possible. (It’s almost always possible.) We’ll then have time to assess options and make a plan while the website remains up and running on the previous version. “Auto-fix time” is not client-directed and does not carry over from month to month.
“Development time” is client-directed time spent adding content or making changes to the website. You can also use this as consulting time for marketing or technology planning. This time is discounted by 30% to $87.50/hr. from the regular rate of $125/hr. Development time does not roll over from month to month. Your discounted rate will not change for at least one year after signup.
This is a WordPress website service. Plans do not include the backup, restoration, support for, or management of any email accounts, domain registration/hosting, or other add-on services that may be included in your hosting plan.
In certain cases, there may be extra charges for setup. For example, if your website hasn’t been updated within the last year, or if your site uses a theme or plugins that have been abandoned by their authors. This will also be the case if your site has been hacked or compromised. These issues will be identified during our initial evaluation and a quote will be provided. If you don’t wish to move forward then you will receive a full refund.
If your website uses a premium theme that doesn’t use the theme update functionality built into WordPress or provides a similar update functionality, then your theme and any premium plugins that come bundled with it can be manually updated twice per year under this service. You must provide your login credentials to your theme vendor or marketplace (like Themeforest, Envato Market, etc.) to facilitate this.
Off-site cloud storage is used for WordPress website backups only. This is not available for any other purpose like email storage, photo storage, or computer backups.
Uptime monitoring provides useful information on how well your hosting provider keeps your site up and running over time. If there is too much downtime, a switch in hosting providers may be indicated. Please note that uptime monitoring does not imply a rapid-restore service.
Invouq recommends that your domain is registered with a different company than the one that hosts your website. If your hosting provider ever has an issue or their performance isn’t up to par then switching to a new one will be much easier. I.e. Keep your domain registered with GoDaddy, NameCheap, Register.com, etc., and keep your actual website hosted with A2, CloudWays, SiteGround, WPEngine, or our premium managed service.
Plugins for backup, firewall, analytics, etc. may need to be installed on your site in order to provide the services. The cost of these plugins is included in the service. If you cancel your service then these plugins will remain on your site but their licenses will be removed.
Administrator-level access to your Google Analytics account is required for analytics reporting. If you don’t have a Google Analytics account then we will create one for you. You will always have access to this account, even if you cancel the service in the future.
Cloud hosting does not include email accounts; you’ll need to purchase separate email hosting. We can provide recommendations for high-quality email hosting services. We will work to ensure that your domain works correctly with your chosen email service.
