What is a WordPress virtual assistant?
A WordPress virtual assistant is someone you hire to run the day-to-day of a WordPress site: updates, backups, content and layout changes, and the messy errors in between. I do that work myself for a small number of clients, using the tools already on your site (including Divi, Elementor, or Gutenberg) and a monthly maintenance rhythm so you are not the person Googling plugin conflicts.
What does a WordPress virtual assistant do?
A WordPress virtual assistant offers support for updating and maintaining all aspects of a WordPress website and can range from very simple tasks to complex.
Do I work with a team or with you?
I handle the work myself unless you ask otherwise.
How do I send tasks?
Email; I acknowledge receipt and notify you when done.
How fast are tasks completed?
Most tasks 1–2 business days; I reply within 24 hours. Weekdays; emergencies excepted.
What does monthly maintenance include?
WordPress, theme, and plugin updates; full backups with 90-day retention; issue support; hosting/domain help as needed; extras customized after a consult.
What does it cost?
The monthly rate depends on the site and scope. We set it on a free consultation. No long-term contract.
