Service spotlight
Web Maintenance keeps WordPress moving without a retainer
Ad hoc updates and fixes billed in 15 minute slices by a senior engineer.
- Fast edits with clear scope and async updates.
- Time tracked in quarter-hour increments; no padded hours.
- Discounted rate for FunkPd builds that stay clean.
FunkPd builds that still follow the MinimalStack sit at $60 per hour; third party stacks use standard rates below.
Discounted rate
FunkPd builds stay affordable when the stack stays sane
Clean stacks we built remain easy to edit, so the rate stays lean.
$60 per hour for FunkPd builds
If the site still follows the original build rules, ad hoc edits run at $60 per hour.
Quarter-hour billing
Work logs in 0.25 hour slices; a 15 minute fix shows up as 0.25 hours.
Batch small changes
Tiny edits ship together so you do not pay a minimum for every tweak.
When rates shift
Discounts pause when the stack drifts from MinimalStack
If the site needs cleanup or coordination, work moves to the standard rate.
What nulls the discount
- Another developer changed templates or the build rules.
- Heavy tools were added for simple content, like extra builders or ACF for plain text blocks.
- Custom code or asset sprawl now makes edits slow or fragile.
- Updates require coordination with another developer, designer, asset team, or SEO.

Web Maintenance runs in four clear steps
You see every step in writing so you know what shipped and why.
| Step | Process |
|---|---|
| Step 1; Intake and access | We collect WordPress, hosting, and repo access plus a short list of requested changes. |
| Step 2; Estimate and plan | We map each change to a time bracket and confirm the rate that applies to your stack. |
| Step 3; Execute in batches | We ship updates in grouped batches, log time in 0.25 hour slices, and keep notes async. |
| Step 4; Proof and wrap | We share before and after notes, links to tests if used, and invoice the tracked time. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What stacks qualify for the $60 rate?
Stacks qualify when the site still follows my MinimalStack. That means native fields, one template system, and no builders or plugins that hijack layouts. ACF, WPBakery or mixed editing models slow the work and push the job to the standard rate. If cleanup is simple I can fix the stack so you keep the lower rate.
How do you track time?
I bill in 15 minute slices. If a fix takes under 10 minutes I usually do it free because it is faster to fix it than send an invoice. You save more by batching edits. One clear list costs less than a stream of small requests.
What access do you need?
I need WordPress admin access for most jobs. Hosting access is only needed for heavy work like migrations or server issues. If the site uses Git I follow your SOP but Git and WordPress together usually run at the standard rate because it adds overhead.
When does the standard rate apply?
The standard rate applies when something in the stack slows me down. Extra builders, ACF fields or vendor coordination are fine until they affect the job. If I have to work outside MinimalStack speed I flag it before I start.
Do you work on WooCommerce?
Yes. I handle checkout issues, shipping, payments, product logic, templates and plugin conflicts. WooCommerce runs at the $150 rate because the system is larger and every change needs testing to keep orders running.
How soon can you start?
I usually start the same day. Two days max. I work seven days a week. You only pay for real work. The clock is off when I am not fixing the site. There is no billing for logins, uploads, emails, waiting or tool downtime.
