Website support and maintenance

Technical Virtual Assistant keeps small business websites updated, secure and fast. Monthly care plans from £39 cover updates, backups, security scanning and uptime monitoring, and we fix problems when something breaks.

We support WordPress and static HTML websites. A few care plan features, such as daily backups, come from the hosting control panel, so they are included only on hosting we provide.

Your hosting

Support works on any host. Some features need ours.

Daily on-server backups and some monitoring come from the Hepsia control panel used on our hosting. If your website is hosted elsewhere, we still support it, but those features may not be available.

Questions

Questions about website support

What does a website care plan include?

Every plan includes plugin and theme updates, security checks, broken link checks and access control. Growth adds malware scanning, uptime monitoring, content changes and database optimisation. Pro adds a development queue of 4 tasks a month and SEO improvements.

Are backups included?

Daily on-server backups are included when your website is on our hosting. Copies to your own Google Drive or Dropbox need a one-time setup, and you keep enough storage space available for them.

What counts as a minor fix?

A minor fix is a change to something that already exists on your website, such as a text edit or a layout correction. Adding new features or content is development work, handled through the Pro plan queue or quoted separately. Work to recover a website that has stopped working is not a minor fix and is handled as support.

How quickly do you fix problems?

Most support tickets are closed within 24 hours, and the average fix takes about 2 hours.

Do you support websites hosted elsewhere?

Yes. We support WordPress and static HTML websites on any host. Daily backups and some monitoring come from the control panel on our hosting, so they may not be available on other hosts.

What is Answer Engine Optimisation?

Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) is preparing your website so AI assistants and search engines can understand it and cite it in their answers. It uses structured data and content that states answers plainly.

Can I get help without a care plan?

Yes. Fix My Site is one-off help for a single problem, from £55.
