Who each one is right for.
Choose a WordPress care plan if
You have a complex WordPress site you want to keep, with WooCommerce or custom plugins, and you need WordPress-native maintenance, security, and edits. A specialist like WP Buffs is built for exactly that.
Choose InkySites if
Your site is tired and you want it redesigned, not just kept alive, without juggling hosting, a care plan, and a developer. We redesign, host, and maintain it as one service for a flat $29 a month.
Questions people ask.
Do I need a WordPress care plan if I use InkySites?
No. We host and maintain the redesigned site ourselves - keeping every version of it and checking several times a day that it is up - so there's no separate WordPress install to patch, back up, or secure, and no separate hosting bill. The flat $29 a month covers hosting, changes, and upkeep together.
My site is on WordPress. Can InkySites take it over?
We redesign from your live site and host the new version, so you stop paying for WordPress hosting and a care plan. If you have a complex WordPress setup with WooCommerce and custom plugins, a WordPress-native care plan like WP Buffs may suit you better, and we'll say so.
Why is a care plan so much more than $29 a month?
Care plans bill for human WordPress work by the month, and plans that include edits start around $179 a month (WP Buffs Protect), with hosting usually separate. InkySites is a flat $29 because the redesign, hosting, and changes are one bundled service, not separate line items.
