What is not automatically included

Standard Website Care is intentionally narrower than a custom development project. Larger jobs are discussed first, then quoted separately so there are no surprises.

Major redesign or new templates

New page systems, significant layout redesign, large content builds and major service updates are separate project work.

Custom functions & integrations

Ecommerce, booking systems, customer records integrations, APIs, custom PHP/plugins and complex forms are quoted separately.

Third-party costs

Domains, hosting, premium licences, paid plugins, advertising, AI/API usage and third-party subscriptions are separate unless expressly quoted.

No unused-time rollover

Included monthly website-change time resets each month. It does not accumulate, convert to cash or become credit for another service.

Your website stays yours

Customer ownership is part of the service design.

Where reasonably practical, your business owns and controls the domain, WordPress website, hosting and key accounts. If Website Care ends, the website remains yours; our routine maintenance, monitoring and monthly change allowance stop.

For an existing WordPress site, we first check the theme, plugins, hosting, backups, licences, admin access and obvious security issues. Cleanup or service update may need to be quoted before ongoing care starts.

Monthly change time

Up to 1 hour of minor website changes each month. Routine care tasks such as standard WordPress updates and health checks do not normally reduce that customer-requested change allowance.

Time required to correct an error directly caused by our Website Care work is not deducted from the included change allowance.

Search, AI answers & local discovery

Built so customers and search systems can understand what the business offers.

The standard build uses crawlable HTML, sensible headings, page titles and descriptions, team-only links, clear service wording and structured information where appropriate. That helps conventional search systems and AI answer systems understand the page, but it is not a promise of rankings or an ongoing SEO campaign.

SEO-ready foundation

Indexable pages, canonical URLs, descriptive titles, team-only links, image alt text and clean service-page structure.

GEO / answer-ready wording

Direct answers, FAQs, service boundaries, ownership details and location context written in plain English so customers and answer systems can interpret the offer.

Local relevance

Service-area context can reference genuine areas you serve, including Melbourne North and relevant nearby suburbs, without creating thin repeat location pages.

Human-first content

Useful information comes before keyword repetition. Search visibility is supported by clarity, not by stuffing pages with unnatural phrases.

Questions before you choose

Solo Website Care FAQs

What counts as a minor website change?

Examples include changing supplied text or images, updating opening hours or contact details, adding a supplied testimonial, adjusting a button, making a small layout change or updating an existing service section. New systems, major redesigns and substantial new pages are quoted separately.

Does unused website-change time roll over?

No. Included change time resets each month and does not accumulate, convert to credit or exchange for another service.

Do I own the website and domain?

Yes. The aim is for the customer to own and control the domain, website, hosting and important business accounts wherever reasonably practical.

Is hosting included in the $169 monthly price?

No. Domain registration, hosting, paid licences, premium plugins and third-party subscriptions are separate unless they are expressly included in a written quote.

Can I cancel Website Care?

Website Care is intended to be month-to-month after launch with 30 days notice, subject to the Website Care Terms and Australian Consumer Law. The website remains yours when care ends.

Can you take over an existing WordPress website?

Possibly. We first check the WordPress version, theme, plugins, licences, hosting, backups, security and admin access. Cleanup or service update work may be required before an existing site can be accepted into Website Care.
