WordPress website edits

Small changes to your WordPress site, made for you. New text, a replaced image, a menu item, a form field. Edit time is part of the Care, Business and Store plans. A larger change, or a change with no plan, is quoted as developer time.

In short

  • A small edit changes what is already on the site. It comes out of a care plan's monthly time.
  • Care includes 90 minutes a month, Business 3 hours and Store 5 hours, shared with fixes. Essential has none.
  • It suits owners who know what should change and would rather not make the change themselves.
  • We place the words and images you send. We do not write or design them.
  • A larger change, or a single change with no plan, is quoted as developer time before work starts.
  • The edits listed here need no code. If you are at home in the dashboard, you can make them yourself.

You know what needs to change. A phone number is out of date. A banner still promotes last month's event. Someone has left and is still on the team page. None of it is hard, but each one means logging in, finding the right place, and checking the result on a phone.

With website edits, you send us the change and we make it. Edit time is part of the Care and Business plans, and of the Store plan for WooCommerce. A change that is too large for a plan's time is sold as developer time and quoted before work starts. The prices for Care, Business and developer time are on this page.

Who it is for, and who it is not

Website edits fit a working site with an owner who knows what should change. Usually one of these is true:

  • Details change most months, such as prices, hours, staff or events, and nobody has the time to keep up.
  • The person who used to make the changes has gone. If you no longer hold the logins, start with how to take over a WordPress site.
  • You can make the change yourself and would rather not.

A different page fits better in these cases.

  • Something is broken. A fault is a fix, not an edit. On a plan, fixes use the same monthly time, and WordPress support describes it. Without a plan, see the one-time fix, or emergency support if the site is down.
  • You want the site to do something new. A change to how the site works is custom development, and it gets a written quote.
  • You want new pages designed, or the whole site redesigned. See design and development.
  • You have a finished design in Figma. Figma to WordPress builds a site from the file.
  • You want to move to or from another platform. That is a platform migration, quoted in writing after a free assessment.
  • You only want updates and backups. The Essential plan has no edit time. See WordPress maintenance.
  • You are an agency with three or more client sites. White label has a block of agency hours that can be used across all of your sites.

You may not need us at all. The edits listed below are made in the WordPress dashboard, with no code. If you can log in and are at home there, they are yours to make. The section "Before you buy" below links the guides for the changes that take a little more.

What you get

  • The change made for you. You send it, and we make it.
  • Edit time inside a plan. Care includes 90 minutes of fixes and small edits a month, along with the plan's updates, backups, monitoring and security scanning. Business includes 3 hours, with updates tested on a staging copy first. Store, the plan for WooCommerce, includes 5 hours.
  • Developer time for the rest. A change larger than a plan's time, or a change when you have no plan, is sold as developer time. It is sold in blocks and quoted before work starts.

A small edit is a change to what is already on the site. Typical ones are:

  • changing text on a page, such as opening hours, contact details or a team bio
  • replacing an image with one you send
  • adding, removing or reordering menu items
  • publishing a post you have written
  • adding or removing a field on an existing form

The Essential plan has no edit time. The Store plan's price is on the WooCommerce maintenance page and the pricing page.

How it works

  1. Step 1: Send the change

    Use the free diagnosis form to tell us which page, what it shows now, and what it should show. Include the new wording in full.

  2. Step 2: We tell you how it fits

    A small edit comes out of your plan's monthly time. For a larger change, or if you have no plan, you get a fixed quote first.

  3. Step 3: We make the change

    On a plan, the time taken comes off that month's allowance.

  4. Step 4: Check the page

    Look at it on a computer and on a phone. If it is not what you asked for, tell us.

What we need from you to start

The free diagnosis form asks for your name, an email address for the reply, and your site's address if you can share it. In the message, give:

  • which page the change is on
  • what the page shows now, and what it should show
  • the new wording, in full
  • any image to be placed, since we use the ones you send

We reply to the address you give, and we use these details to reply to you about this request and for nothing else.

What it does not cover

  • Writing and design. We place the words and images you send. We do not write copy, take photographs or design graphics.
  • New features. A change to how the site works, such as a new kind of page layout or a link to another system, is development. It gets a written quote. See custom development.
  • Time beyond the allowance. Unused minutes do not roll over. Work beyond the allowance is charged at the hourly rate and quoted first.
  • A number of requests. The allowance is an amount of time. No plan promises a count of edits.

Before you buy: do it yourself, or check first

These are free, and none of them asks you to buy anything.

Everything on plans is listed under WordPress maintenance and care plans.

Common questions

How many edits is 90 minutes?

It depends on the edits. The allowance is counted in time, not in the number of requests, and fixes use the same time. Changing a line of text uses far less of it than building a new page.

Do unused minutes carry over?

No. Each month has the plan's allowance, and what is left from the month before does not roll over.

I only need one change. Do I need a plan?

No. A single change can be quoted as developer time. Plans are month to month, and you can cancel any time. The pricing page compares them.

Will I know whether a change counts as a small edit before you start?

Yes. When you send the change, we tell you how it fits. A small edit comes out of your plan's monthly time. A larger change gets a fixed quote first, and whether to go ahead is up to you.

Can you write the text or make the image for me?

No. We place the words and images you send. We do not write copy, take photographs or design graphics.

Is there a contract?

No. Plans are month to month with no minimum term, and you can cancel any time. Your first payment for a care plan is refunded if you ask within 30 days.

Can I make these changes myself?

Often, yes. Text, images, menus and posts are all changed in the WordPress dashboard. The guides under "Before you buy" cover the changes that take a little more, such as a few lines of CSS. This service is for owners who would rather hand the changes over.

Not sure what is wrong?

Tell us what you see. We reply with the cause and a fixed quote, and the diagnosis is free.
