WordPress Care Plan
WordPress maintenance for Australian small businesses
DRA Digital's WordPress Care Plan includes routine updates, daily off-site backups, security and uptime monitoring, performance checks and monthly reporting.
Regular WordPress maintenance is important for keeping your website secure, up to date and running reliably, helping reduce the risk of downtime, errors and security problems.
Why choose DRA Digital for WordPress care?
You deal directly with me
I'm Bruce, the owner of DRA Digital. I've been building and supporting WordPress websites for over 15 years. When you choose my Care Plan, you deal directly with me, not a call centre or a rotating support team.
Regular care, not just emergency fixes
I handle routine updates, backups, security monitoring and website checks to help identify potential issues before they become bigger problems.
Clear reporting and straightforward pricing
You'll receive a monthly report showing what's been done, with a clear $35 monthly fee. If your website needs work outside the plan, I'll explain what's involved before proceeding.

Purchase the WordPress Care Plan online, or get in touch if you'd like to discuss your website first.
Why does a WordPress website need regular maintenance?
WordPress, themes and plugins need updates as security fixes and compatibility improvements become available. Leaving software outdated can increase the risk of website errors and security vulnerabilities.
Regular maintenance reduces avoidable risks, although no service can guarantee a website will never experience downtime or a security incident.

Website review
I'll assess your website and identify any existing issues needing separate attention.
Ongoing care
Once accepted, your website receives routine maintenance, monitoring and monthly reporting.
What's not included in the WordPress Care Plan?
The plan covers routine maintenance and monitoring. The following services are quoted separately:
- Content changes, new pages or website redesigns
- SEO services or major speed optimisation
- Repairs and troubleshooting outside routine maintenance
- Extensive malware removal or hacked website recovery
- Premium plugin and theme licence fees
I can usually maintain WordPress websites I didn't build, subject to an initial review. If additional work is needed, I'll explain the options and provide a separate quote before proceeding.
