WordPress Care

Your WordPress site, looked after by a person.

Every Care plan gives you hours of an engineer's time each month, somebody who is accountable for how your site is running, and a document at the end of the month that says exactly what was done to it. Your hosting already applies the updates and takes the backups. Care is the person on top of them.

  • Engineer time included every month
  • A written report at the end of every month
  • Kora answers immediately, at any hour

Care plans

Three ways to have somebody looking after it.

Every plan includes engineer time, a monthly performance and security review, and the written report. Care Pro adds hours, weekly malware scans and the fastest response we publish. WooCommerce Care is the same idea aimed at the parts of a shop that need watching.

What you get

Somebody who knows your site, every month.

Your hosting already updates WordPress, scans it, backs it up and renews the certificate. Care is the four things that take a person.

  • Hours of an engineer, kept for youEvery plan sets aside real engineer time each month and it is yours to spend: a plugin that fights another one, a page that got slow, a form that stopped sending, a theme change you would rather hand over.
  • A review of how the site is actually runningOnce a month somebody sits down with your whole site, sees how fast it is running and how well it is protected, and writes you what they found and what they did about it.
  • One person accountable for the resultWhen something needs a decision, you hear it from somebody who already knows your site, your plugins and what was changed last month, so you are not explaining your setup from the beginning.
  • A document you can forward to anyoneAt the end of every month you get the report as a document. Forward it to a client, a board or an accountant who works outside your panel, and a year in you have twelve of them.

The report

At the end of the month, you get it in writing.

One document, emailed to you, with a plain verdict on the front and the month underneath it. Every figure on it is produced by the panel rather than typed by hand.

  • What monitoring didYour site is checked every sixty seconds, which comes to 44,640 checks in a thirty one day month.

A drawn example of one month's report.

The person

Somebody answers, and you know how fast.

Kora answers immediately on any page in the panel, at any hour. When a question needs a person, one takes it over inside 4 business hours, and inside 1 hour on Care Pro.

  • Kora answers immediatelyIt has already read your site's logs, your updates and your backups, so the first answer you get is about your site rather than about WordPress in general.
  • A person inside 1 hour on Care ProEvery other plan hears from a person inside 4 business hours. Those are the response times we publish, and they are the same on every page of this site.
  • Moving in is free, on every planThe migration tools bring your site, your mail and your DNS across, they are free on every plan, and Kora will run them with you. For a move with a complicated plugin set, a person can do the whole thing for a published price.
Before you start

Four things people ask.

  • How is this different from the hosting?

    The hosting already updates WordPress overnight, scans it for malware, backs it up every night and renews the certificate for you, on every WordPress plan. Care is the part that takes a person: hours of an engineer's time each month, one person accountable for how your site is running, and a document at the end of the month that says what happened.

  • What is in the report?

    The updates applied and verified, the security outcome for the month, where your certificate stands, what the monitoring did, and how the engineer time on your plan was spent. It arrives by email as a document, so you can forward it to somebody who works outside your panel, and every month issued stays available to you.

  • What if I only need somebody once?

    Buy an hour. Both hourly rates are published on this page in your own currency, so you can read the number, buy the hour and have the work done.

  • I am on somebody else's managed WordPress.

    The migration tools are free on every plan and bring your site, your mailboxes and your DNS across while your current site keeps serving, and Kora will run them with you. Where a move has a complicated plugin set, a person can do the whole thing for a published price.

Ask us for last month's report.

Any host will tell you they look after your site. Care hands you the document at the end of the month that says exactly what was done to it.
