Monthly website maintenance plans for small businesses in Moses Lake and across Central Washington. A maintenance plan is how you stop losing nights and weekends to plugin updates, security patches, and uptime alerts — and how you turn your website into a steady, predictable line item instead of a source of surprise bills. Plans start at $89 per month, scale with the size of your site, and are handled by the same local team that built your site in the first place.
What’s included in every plan
Managed WordPress hosting — LiteSpeed-powered hosting with NVMe storage, free SSL certificate, and a global CDN.
Daily backups — full-site backups retained for 30 days, with one-click restore from any point.
Updates — WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates applied weekly with a staging-site test first.
Uptime monitoring — 60-second checks from 6 global locations; you get an email and SMS if your site goes down.
Content edits — a monthly allowance of copy, image, and layout edits handled within 1 business day.
Monthly report — uptime, traffic, security events, and a summary of edits performed.
Maintenance plans compared
Three tiers, billed monthly, cancel any time. All plans include hosting, backups, security, updates, and uptime monitoring — the difference is the size of your site, how much content editing you need each month, and whether we run a monthly SEO health check.

For small business brochure sites (up to 10 pages).
Managed hosting and SSL
Daily backups (30-day retention)
Security monitoring and weekly updates
Uptime monitoring with email alerts

Why a local Moses Lake team instead of DIY or overseas
The cheapest path is to handle updates yourself. The second cheapest is to hand the site to a low-cost overseas service. Both have a cost that does not show up on the invoice.
DIY updates — the hidden cost
Plugin updates, security patches, and uptime monitoring take 2-4 hours a month if you know what you are doing. Most small business owners do not — and a bad update can take the site offline for half a day while you figure out the rollback. Your time is worth more than $89.
Overseas maintenance — the timezone gap
Offshore maintenance services can be cheaper per month, but the handoff overhead eats the savings. A 12-hour timezone gap means your site can be down for half a business day before anyone looks at it. When something breaks at 8am Pacific, you want a phone number that rings in Moses Lake, not a ticket that gets picked up 14 hours later.
A local team that built your site
If we built your site, we already know every plugin, every template, every integration, and every workaround. If we did not build it, we audit it during onboarding and bring it up to our baseline before the monthly fee kicks in. Either way, you get a single point of contact, a written monthly report, and a phone number that rings in Grant County.
Add-on services
Any of these can be added to any plan, billed monthly or one-time as needed.
Extra content edits — $65/hour. Blocks of 30 minutes, billed only for what we use.
Blog post writing — managed by one of our partner writers, from $180/post.
Photography and video — quarterly on-site shoots for businesses in Grant, Adams, and Franklin counties.
Google Business Profile management — monthly posts, photo updates, and review responses, $75/month.
Schema and AI-search optimization — quarterly audits and content updates to keep your site visible to ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity.
One-time site rebuild — most maintenance clients pair a plan with a redesign after year two or three. We credit the first 6 months of maintenance against the rebuild.

Moses Lake medical practice
On the Growth plan for 22 months. Two patient-facing forms, a HIPAA-aware contact flow, and an intake page that gets the most traffic of any page on the site. The practice has had zero downtime and one security event in that span — caught by the login-hardening rule and resolved within the hour.
Ephrata retail shop
On the Starter plan, came to us from a DIY Squarespace site that had not been updated in 14 months. We migrated the site to WordPress, brought the plugins current, set up daily backups and uptime monitoring, and now run a 30-minute content edit block each month for new product photos.
