What Our White Label WordPress Maintenance Services Include
Six pieces of site care we package under your brand, with clear tiers your account team can sell.
(06)
•Three named plans, written down
Each tier has a written scope, so an account lead sells a retainer without a scoping call behind it.
•A first-response standard you can quote
One answering time you may repeat to your client, with severity agreed before an incident rather than during one.
•Alerts land in your helpdesk
Monitoring points at a channel you own with a named responder. No alert beats you to your client.
•Updates on a schedule, staged first
Core, plugin and theme updates hit a staging copy before production, with a written record of what changed.
•Backups we actually restore
We restore to a scratch environment on a cycle and record the outcome, so what you resell is tested.
•Minor edits included in each tier
Every tier states a monthly allowance for minor edits, so anything past it is visibly chargeable.
•Common issues
What breaks when you resell site care
The problems agency owners describe on partner calls. Each one is a cost you absorb instead of billing.
Diagnose my site •01
Overnight outage calls your team misses
A site goes down overnight and the client tells you at breakfast. The alert reached an inbox that was not monitored after six, so the client believes you were not watching.
02
Plugin updates with no owner
Twenty-three updates sit pending, because updating is unbillable and applying one blind sometimes breaks a page. So it waits, and the backlog quietly becomes a security problem.
03
Backups never tested
A backup runs nightly and has never been restored. The software reports success on the files it wrote, not on files that would rebuild a working site.
04
Clients editing the live site
A client gets an editor role and nowhere to ask for help. They break a layout on the live site and call you, and the repair is unbillable.
05
Unbillable small requests
Fifteen minutes here, a swapped image there. Individually trivial, collectively a day each billing cycle that slips through because the invoice costs more than the work.
06
Inherited sites with no documentation
The load-bearing plugins, DNS owner and licence keys are unclear. Every task opens with an investigation you cannot bill.
Our White Label WordPress Maintenance Process
(06)
Phase 01
Phase 1 • Week 1
An inventory of what is actually there
Every site gets a written inventory: load-bearing plugins, hosting, DNS, licence keys, what is already broken. Phase timings are an estimate; real dates are agreed in your proposal.
Phase 02
Phase 2 • Week 1
Which tier the site belongs on
We place each site by what the inventory found, not by what the client hopes to spend. Otherwise one client quietly funds another's incidents.
Phase 03
Phase 3 • Week 1-2
Alerts point at your channel
Monitoring routes into a channel you own, with a responder named and severity agreed. The usual failure is not missing monitoring but alerts landing in the wrong place.
Phase 04
Phase 4 • Monthly
The first update cycle runs
Updates start on schedule, staged before production. Your account lead hears what might visibly change before a client spots it.
Phase 05
Phase 5 • Quarterly
We restore a backup for real
The first restore test runs in the quarter after onboarding, and the result comes to you in writing to pass on. On an inherited site it is usually the first time anyone finds out.
Phase 06
Phase 6 • Quarterly
Checking the tier still fits
We compare what a site used against its tier. If it needs to move, it moves with your agreement rather than us absorbing the gap.
•Accounts you can win
A care plan is the easiest thing you will ever sell twice.
Maintenance is the retainer clients renew without a conversation, and the one that rarely gets packaged, because pricing it feels like putting a number on goodwill. Three named tiers with written scopes fix that, and the spread between what you pay and what you charge is settled before you quote.
•
A priced plan on every build you hand over
•
Account leads sell a tier, no scoping call
•
Wholesale per site, held before you quote
•Revenue that stays yours
Every alert and every ticket arrives at your helpdesk first.
Maintenance touches a client more often than anything else you resell, which makes it the service where your name is likeliest to slip. So nothing we do has a route to your client: every incident, ticket and report reaches you first.
•
Alerts route to a channel you own and name
•
Client requests land in your helpdesk
•
The renewal conversation stays between you and the client
White Label WordPress Maintenance Deliverables
Three rebrandable care tiers, each with its own scope, response standard and reporting rhythm.
Entry tier
Essential
✓Covered — Monthly core, plugin and theme updates staged before production, uptime monitoring, nightly backups, a quarterly restore test.
✓Response — Our business-hours standard: a first response within one to two hours, and most requests resolved inside 24 to 48.
✓Small-request allowance — A stated monthly allowance for minor text, image and contact-detail edits; overflow is quoted.
✓Best for — Brochure and marketing sites, where the requirement is that nothing breaks unnoticed.
Mid tier
Managed
✓Covered — Everything in Essential, plus fortnightly updates, a hardening review, per-template performance checks and live staging.
✓Response — The same standard, with defects triaged ahead of Essential and a named responder on your escalation path.
✓Small-request allowance — A larger allowance, plus a request route so client asks arrive as tickets, not calls.
✓Best for — Sites generating leads or bookings, where downtime has a number attached.
Top tier
Critical
✓Covered — Everything in Managed, plus monitored transactional journeys and pre-release checks for your own deploys.
✓Response — Extended cover hours and a written out-of-hours escalation path. We publish no out-of-hours clock, because we will not sell one we cannot hold.
✓Small-request allowance — The largest allowance, and a written rule for anything raised outside cover hours.
✓Best for — Stores and booking systems, where revenue stops when the site does.

•Frequently asked questions
Common Questions
You buy at 20% off our list price and bill the client at retail, so the gap is yours. Wholesale is priced per site per tier rather than per hour, and three things move it: what the site does, what state it arrives in, and how much cover you want outside business hours. You get the number for every tier in writing before you quote. The client's half of the question, WordPress maintenance pricing, belongs to our client-facing team.
