How much does WordPress maintenance cost?

A managed WordPress site typically runs $79 to $299 a month, and what you pay tracks risk rather than page count. Answer four questions for a ballpark, then see what the money is actually buying.

What moves the price

You are paying for risk, not page count.

A 200-page brochure site can be cheaper to look after than a 12-page store. What costs money is how much breaks, how fast it has to be fixed, and what it costs you when it is down.

What the site does

A content site that goes down costs you traffic. A store that goes down costs you orders while it is down, and an update that quietly breaks checkout can cost you a weekend of sales before anyone notices. WooCommerce sites need more careful updates, more testing, and faster response, which is the whole gap between a $79 plan and a $299 one.

How many plugins you run

Every plugin is another author's release schedule and another chance for two updates to disagree. Thirty plugins is not twice the work of fifteen, it is more, because the combinations grow faster than the count. This is the single most common reason a site is more expensive to maintain than its owner expects.

How often it changes

A site nobody edits mostly needs updates, backups, and watching. A site with regular content and layout changes needs someone available to make them, and each change is a chance to break something that then needs fixing. Small edits included in a plan are cheaper than the same edits billed one at a time.

How fast you need answers

Standard support means your issue joins the queue. Priority means it jumps it. That is worth paying for when downtime costs real money per hour and worth skipping when it does not. Be honest about which one you are, because paying for speed you never use is the easiest money to waste here.

WooCommerce and revenue-critical sites. Careful updates and faster response, because downtime bills you.

No lock-in and no long contract. Cancel any time. Multi-site and agency white-label pricing on request.
