01 Sound familiar?
Who’s looking after your website?
If any of these sound familiar, a care plan takes them off your list. Here’s how.
02
“I don’t know if I even have a backup.”
How we fix itDaily off-site backups, kept for 30 to 90 days depending on your plan, so a bad update or a hack is never the end.
03
“I only find out it’s down when a customer tells me.”
How we fix itEvery plan includes uptime and security monitoring, so we hear about a problem when the monitor does, not when a customer does.
04
“Small changes sit on my to-do list for weeks.”
How we fix itGrowth and Priority include 1 or 3 hours of content edits a month: new photos, prices, team members or a new page section.
02 What you get

03 How we work
Three things you never have to think about again
Most hacked small business sites we clean simply missed updates for months. A care plan makes sure yours doesn’t.
Updates
Updated every week, tested first
We run WordPress core, theme and plugin updates every week. On Growth and Priority we test them on a staging copy first, so an update never breaks the live site.
Weekly updates on every plan
Tested on staging on Growth and Priority
A backup before every change on Priority
Backups
A backup you can actually restore
Daily off-site backups mean a bad update, a hack or a mistake can be undone. You keep all your backups if you ever cancel.
Daily, stored off-site
Kept 30 or 90 days, or before every change
Yours to keep if you leave
Report
A plain-English report every month
Each month you get a short report: what we updated, what we checked, how fast the site is and anything you should know. No jargon, no 20-page PDF.

Next Nova, a local agency or doing it yourself?
An honest look at the three usual ways to keep a website maintained.
| Question | Next Nova | Typical local agency | Doing it yourself |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | From $79 a month | Varies widely; often a monthly retainer | Free, but costs your time |
| Contract | Month to month | Often 6–12 months | None |
| Updates tested first | On staging, on Growth and Priority | Varies; ask how | Only if you set up staging |
| Backups | Daily, off-site, yours to keep | Usually included | Only if you set them up |
| When something breaks | Reply within 4 hours to 1 business day | Depends on the agency | You fix it yourself |
| What you see | A plain-English report every month | Reports vary; ask for a sample | Whatever you track yourself |
| Who owns the site and backups | You | Usually you; check the contract | You |
Where we’re not the best fit
If you’re comfortable running updates, checking backups and fixing what breaks, doing it yourself costs nothing but your time. And if you need someone on call around the clock, a larger agency with a 24/7 team may suit you better.

09 Is it right for you?
Who a care plan is for, and who it isn’t
Not every site needs a monthly plan. Here’s how to tell.
A good fit if you…
Run WordPress or WooCommerce and don’t want to think about updates.
Rely on your site for leads, bookings or sales.
Need small changes made every month without chasing anyone.
Want a backup you know you can restore.
Probably not a fit if you…
Enjoy running updates yourself and check your backups.
Have a site that’s broken right now. Start with speed & repair.
Need more visitors, not maintenance. Look at SEO.
Need a new website first. See WordPress websites.
10 Questions
Straight answers
Still unsure about something? Message us. A real person replies.
Ask on WhatsAppWhy does a website need maintenance?
WordPress, themes and plugins release updates every week, many of them security fixes. Most hacked small business sites we clean simply missed updates for months.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans are month to month, and you keep all your backups.
What if I need more than my included edit hours?
Extra work is quoted before we start, at a discounted rate for plan members.
Do you maintain sites you didn’t build?
Yes, after a one-time onboarding check (from $190) to fix anything risky first.
Which plan do I need?
Essential for a simple site that rarely changes, Growth if your site brings in leads and needs regular edits, and Priority for a busy site or store that can’t go down.
Do care plans work for Shopify, Wix and Squarespace?
Yes, with edits, monitoring and monthly checks. The platform itself handles updates and hosting, so the full plans are for WordPress and WooCommerce.
