How Essential hours get used

Essential fits websites that are mostly settled but still need regular updates and a few hours of help each month—without paying for a larger retainer you will not use.

Website updates & edits

Content changes, layout tweaks, new sections, and small page builds within your monthly hours.

Graphics & design tasks

Image updates, simple design adjustments, and visual polish that keeps the site looking current.

Light troubleshooting

Forms, plugin hiccups, and small bugs that should not wait for a full project quote.

Core maintenance included

WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates are handled separately and do not eat into your hours.

Backups & health checks

Backups, restorations, uptime monitoring, and a monthly health review keep the foundation stable.

Free WordPress hosting

Hosting is included with the plan, or we can work with your existing host if you prefer.

Simple monthly workflow

Unused hours do not roll over unless specified in a custom agreement. Routine WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates do not count against your monthly hours.
