The Two Lucky Ducks Annual Plan:
Two Lucky Ducks Annual Software Update & Monitoring Service
At Two Lucky Ducks, we provide a low cost, paid (billed annually) service to:
- automatically monitor your website for new software versions / required updates (WordPress, Pro Theme, Plugins) using fantastic software we have installed on our this website (that connects to all client sites)
- update your website as new versions are released (and handle any issues that may arise) - unlimited updates. There is typically at least 1 or more updates required and performed every week.
- clear cache after updates (to ensure your site looks the same post-update)
- monitor hacking attempts and any login to your site (and where they originated from)
- monitor uptime and SSL status
- tweak server settings (including PHP version) when required
- keep a full off-site backup of your website (taken after any significant development), on a different server than your web hosting provider.
Standard Fees (for 1 year)
- 1 site - $140/yr
- 2 sites - $210/yr
- 3 sites - $280/yr
.... dependent upon the number of Two Lucky Ducks websites you have, the site complexity, and any specific client arrangements we may have agreed on.
This service does not cover any significant content, functionality, styling, or structure updates.
If you require these types of enhancements I can simply quote for them at my normal hourly rate (and you decide if you want to go ahead).
I hope this helps explain what you are paying for when you renew your annual Two Lucky Ducks Software Update Support service, and importantly why it's a good idea.
Kind Regards
Simon (Two Lucky Ducks)
Your Two Lucky Ducks website has been developed using PRO Theme and Cornerstone Editor and our Agency License
Pro Theme and Cornerstone editor are cutting edge website development tools, installed into the WordPress eco-system (with WordPress CMS as a foundation layer).
Pro Theme and Cornerstone are written and provided by Theme.co and would normally cost at least $99USD / year to buy and use.
However, as a Two Lucky Ducks client, on our Licence & Software Update & Maintenance Support plan, use of our PRO Theme/Cornerstone Agency license is included.
If you do decide to move away from Two Lucky Ducks in the future (or do not want to pay for our annual PRO License and Software Update Support Plan) then you can purchase your own licence from Theme.co and and manager your software, updates, hosting/server, and website yourself or with another service provider.
