Websites need regular maintenance, just like a car

A website is an active with 'moving' parts that need regular attention and 'tuning up'.

As technology and software advances the website needs to be kept up to date and regularly optimised to perform at its best.

Done regularly the website can run for years without a hiccup.

If neglected, the website can become bloated and slow, and often vulnerable to malware and exploits that can be expensive to fix.

WordPress tutorials and help library

All plans include access to our WordPress resource library with video walk-throughs, website manual and help guides.

Many questions you have on how to manage your website are contained there and available 24/7.

If you have staff or Virtual Assistants, they are able to access the library also the assist them in their work on the website.

The information is regularly updated to the current release of the WordPress version.

Premium Plugin & Theme Licenses

We have developer licenses to a number of paid premium themes and plugins.

If you have any of those our developer license covers your renewals of those licenses, so you don't need to pay the annual fees.

Often the costs of these license renewals annually can balance out or exceed the payment on your Website Maintenance & Support plan annually.

You may also request other premium plugins to be added to your website that are covered by our developer license without having to fork out more money.

Anti-Hack Guarantee

Fortunately, when your website is maintained with us, you are covered by our Hack Guarantee.

Should you discover malware or your website is hacked, then it is cleaned up or restored from the most recent 'clean' backup at no additional cost.

It doesn't matter how many times this occurs, with the Hack Guarantee you will never pay anything additional to have your website cleaned and restored.

N.B. it can cost upwards of $500 - $1,500 to pay to have a website cleaned and restored after being hacked - and that excludes reputational and SEO damage.

After a website is hacked, part of the clean up is to ensure additional security measures are implemented to minimise it reoccurring. Your website is safe when you place it in our care.

Why do I need a maintenance & support plan?

Often website run smoothly, but issues and problems do occur. When this happens and you don't know how to fix it or don't have the time, your support team will resolve these quickly because they know what to do.

How does it work?

As soon as you sign up, your website is added to the maintenance and support schedule.

The very first thing that happens is we take a full backup and store it securely off the server. This is done just in case there is a problem requiring a point to roll back to.

There are regular maintenance and support tasks we do that happen in the background like backups, optimisations, malware monitoring, uptime tracking.

Other tasks you can submit a support request for.

How do I submit a work request?

If you notice an issue or need assistance simple lodge a support request with the form on the support page or send an email. These will be queued in the support system immediately and usually resolved within a business day. 

How long are issues fixed?

It depends on the task. Minor changes are often completed within 4- 8 hours. Larger issues can take up to a day. The aim is always to provide same day turnaround.

What is the refund policy?

We guarantee to fix and resolve all issues, to 100% satisfaction. If you are not happy that the issue is resolved, our team will go out of their way to ensure it is resolved. If it is not then we are happy to refund that month's payment.

Can I change my plan?

Of course! You can upgrade, downgrade, change and cancel your plan at any time. You’re not tied to a long term contract. For some websites a recommended minimum plan my be required for the level of maintenance and support needed. If that is the case, you will be notified when you sign up.

What if I want to cancel?

Of course, we don’t want you to leave but you have the option to terminate at time. Simply let us know and your service will stop at the end of the current month.

What happens when I choose a plan?

Once you select and pay for your plan, you will provide login details in a secure form for WordPress and your Web Host.

We will also perform an initial site audit to identify any issues needing attention immediately, and make recommendations on anything we find.

Where are you located?

The head office is in Robina on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. All of the team work remotely and can provide support across many time zones.

What website platforms are covered?

At this stage these plans are for WordPress Websites.

Other platforms like Wix, SquareSpace, Weebly, Kajabi, ClickFunnels, etc are not supported.

This may change in the future if there is sufficient demand.

However, you are welcome to submit a one-off support request for any of these platforms and we will let you know if we can help at our casual rates or recommend you to a specialist in that platform.

Why shouldn't I rely on my Web Hosts Backups?

Often web hosting companies back up the server your website is hosted on, but these should not be relied upon.

If the whole web server is hacked, then it can be difficult to get a clean backup of just your own website, as they try to recover the server. This can sometimes take days, and sometimes has taken weeks.

If a web server goes down du to malware or an attack, then the backups saved to the server may also be inaccessible and compromised.

Some web hosts charge additional fees to retrieve a copy of a stored backup.

The safest way to back up is to a secure remote cloud storage facility like we offer.

These backups can be restored often in a matter of minutes, and can be deployed to another web host quickly in the event of catastrophic web server failure (which happens more often that you may hear about).

What if my request is outside the scope of these plans?

If you need work that are outside what these maintenance and support plans require, you can submit a special support request.

We will be in touch to discuss the work and provide you with a fixed price quote and estimated timeframe.

If you are happy to proceed, you accept the quote, make payment and the work will be completed by the team.

When you have one of the plans, your quote will be at a special rate which is less than the standard casual pricing.

How many websites do the plans cover?

The plans cover 1 WordPress Website. Each website needs it's own plan.

If you have more than 3 WordPress Websites please submit an enquiry for an Enterprise options.

What type of requests are included?

Requests should fall within the following categories:

  • UI troubleshooting (HTML, CSS, Javascript)
  • Styling elements with CSS
  • Content population & image manipulation
  • Creation of basic graphics (e.g. buttons, banners, etc.)
  • WordPress consulting (advice and support)
  • Optimisation of CSS, Javascript and Images
  • Theme/plugin audits
  • Plugin installation and implementation

If you are unsure about the whether or not a request meets these criteria, submit it as a ticket to our support system and we will either accept the ticket or deny the ticket based on managerial approval.

Example of work not included?

Examples of requests which are outside the scope of these plans include items like

  • Website redesign
  • Landing page design
  • Custom plugin development
  • Custom theme development
  • Search marketing/SEO services
  • Any fix estimated to exceed 60 minutes of work

We will let you know when any request falls outside the scope and will provide you the option of a fixed price quote at the special rates provided in each plan.

These rates are less than the standard casual rates.

Outstanding!!

I recently had a business consultation with Nik Cree from SmashGo and I cannot recommend him more highly. He first sought to understand my business challenges before offering any information, which was very refreshing. He then provided me with insightful information of a technical nature. He also generously offered several of his key contacts to help support me further, which have already proved fruitful and provided further opportunities for me to connect with the right people. Outstanding!!
