ZigCare Website Care Plans

All WordPress and ClassicPress websites need ongoing maintenance after they are built, to keep their components up to date and secure, and if you’re not a developer it can be quite a daunting prospect. A ZigCare website care plan takes care of everything.

ZigCare puts an expert in charge of the maintenance of your site, taking care of backups, security, updates and technical support, and leaving you to get on with running your business. Think of it as an insurance policy and warranty for your website, all rolled into one.

Our plans are shown below. If you’re not sure which one is right for your site, you should probably choose the professional plan. We’ve been working with WordPress for over 12 years so you’re in good hands.

Before we can accept you on a ZigCare website care plan, we need to take a quick look at your site, including the admin area, so that we can see what plugins are installed and what state the site is currently in. Occasionally a small amount of billable work may be required before a site is ready for ZigCare.

This is why the secure ZigCare enquiry form asks for an administrator login but does not demand payment up front. Once your site is approved for ZigCare, we’ll invoice you and start your subscription. At that stage we’ll also ask you for an FTP login to your hosting space.

Please note that ZigCare is only available for independently-hosted WordPress sites, not sites managed at wordpress.com.

* Our normal (non-ZigCare) price for repairing a hacked site is $200.
