WordPress Maintenance Plan Packages

All of our WordPress Monthly Maintenance and Hosting Packages include our exclusive “WE BUILD FREE WEBSITES” program.

This allows our website maintenance clients to get started with a FREE and Professionally Developed Website. We will either build you a FREE website (from the ground up) or upgrade an existing website that you already had for FREE.

You'll notice that our various Monthly Maintenance Packages include a FREE Website for your business with a maximum number of pages that are included. We will fully build out your FREE website with the number of pages you need, or enhance existing pages that you already have, so they can look professional and properly represent your business. You will always have the opportunity to build and add additional pages to your website on your own at no additional cost. (If you don't know how, we will train you. There's nothing to fear. We are training experts!)

The web pages we build for you can include “Call To Actions”, “Contact Forms”, “Photo Galleries”, “Testimonials”, “Popup Messages”, “Tables with a list of Products or Services”, and many, many other features.

We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Here are some important details regarding our exclusive Step Ahead Web Free Website Program:

Step Ahead Web allows our clients to use the website that we build for FREE as long as they remain a client of Step Ahead Web. And we will also re-build a brand new website every 72 months for our clients, upon request. Step Ahead Web retains all ownership rights to all of the website development work that is provided, including all of the features that we include under our “We Build Free Websites” program. But it's important to note that our client's retain full ownership of their domain name!

Premium Website Hosting

Unlike cheap hosting plans, as offered by GoDaddy, BlueHost, HostGator, and many, many others, each of our DEDICATED SERVERS or STORAGE LOCATIONS hold a maximum of 100 websites. Once we exceed the 100 maximum allotment, we create and set up a NEW additional server for the next 100 websites. This helps to ensure that all of the websites for our clients run at peak proficiency, all the time.

Most cheap hosting services hold thousands of websites (which can easily exceed 1000, 2000, 3,000, or even more) on each individual server or storage location. Any issue with any of these thousands of websites can cause problems, outages, etc., for the others.

All of our servers use Premium SSD storage devices and run in a RAID 10 (keeping all of your website data backed-up for redundancy and improved performance). SSD stands for Solid State Drives. Most other hosting companies use HDD, which stand for Hard Disc Drives.

SSD storage devices are faster, more durable and run with greater reliability. HDDs are simply an older and less expensive type of disc drives.

Step Ahead Web realizes the importance of keeping our client's websites up and running 24/7, 365 days a year. And premium website hosting begins with using the best possible equipment and making sure you have quality bandwidth connections to the Internet.

Keep your website up-to-date by making Website Edits, Changes, and Modifications on a continuous and regular basis. You can do this on your own or with our expert assistance.

Ensuring your website remains up-to-date is a critical aspect of maintaining a successful online presence. Here are just a few of the benefits to keeping your website up-to-date and frequently changing your information.

• Keep your valued customers and website visitors informed with timely updates about your business.
• Boost your search engine visibility – Google and other search engines favor fresh and relevant content. Regularly updating your website with high-quality content increases your chances of ranking higher in search results.
• Your website is your digital showcase to the world, and first impressions matter. A simple change to a headline, photo, video, or testimonial on your homepage can breathe new life into your brand.

Your website, built on the world-renowned WordPress CMS and powered by the versatile Divi Premium Theme, empowers you to make a wide range of edits, changes, and modifications with ease. You have the power to easily make many website edits yourself. If you need a hand in getting started, no worries. We provide ongoing training to ensure that you'll always feel confident and prepared when ever you want to jump in and make some changes on your own.

However, we understand that certain modifications may require expert assistance, such as selecting and adding compelling photos, promotional and training videos, designing specialized and interactive pages, creating online forms and surveys, finding and fixing broken links, sending out an important email newsletter, and much more.

At Step Ahead Web, we take pride in helping our clients maintain visually stunning and high-performing websites. Depending on your chosen maintenance plan, we allocate dedicated time each month to collaborate with you, ensuring your website not only looks exceptional but also drives in leads, contact forms, surveys, sales, and many other types of business critical outcomes.

Website Backups are extremely important, but even more important is storing your website backups OFF-SITE, and in TWO secure locations.

For every website we maintain for our clients, we create two unique backups every day and store them in two different locations. You may think this is a bit excessive, but if your website should ever experience a catastrophic issue, you'll be extremely pleased to know we have your back (in more ways than one) and we store your website backups in a secure off-site location.

Step Ahead Web specializes in securing WordPress websites to ensure that they are protected from SPAM, HACKERS, and other types of malicious attacks. 

It's important to understand that nothing on the internet can be completely locked down from attacks, which is why having multiple and off-site BACKUPS are so important. In the event of an intrusion to your website that causes any or all of your content and information to be removed, replaced, or corrupted, Step Ahead Web will be able to restore your website from a recent backup, within just minutes.

Rest assured that Step Ahead Web ensures the comprehensive safeguarding of your website through daily backups to two off-site, fully protected locations, inaccessible to hackers. This meticulous backup protocol guarantees that, if needed, a copy of your website can swiftly be reinstalled, allowing you to resume seamless operations promptly.

At the end of each day, both our esteemed clients and the Step Ahead Web team can rest assured, as we ensure that every website under our management is meticulously secured, impervious to any and all attacks, and maintained with utmost vigilance. This unwavering commitment to safeguarding your online presence allows for peaceful nights of sleep, knowing that your websites are locked down and protected as firmly as a tightly-tuned drum.
