Bring Your Current Website

Some agencies want to charge you thousands of dollars for a new site to start working together. Not at Sterner Stuff.

We’re experts in WordPress websites, not just a couple plugins. We’ll gladly bring you and your current WordPress website aboard, working to fix the specific issues you’re having today without throwing away everything else.

We call it a website rescue, and it’s a great way to improve your website, sleep better at night, and not spend five figures doing it.

Make Your Website Faster

Slow WordPress website? With our no-AI, human-powered site review and the improvements we recommend, plus moving to our hosting platform, most of our clients’ websites get faster. No costly rebuild. Just good, fast hosting.

Site speed is a ranking factor for Google searches and keeps more people on your website no matter how they got there. Don’t let your WordPress site be slow.

Human-Powered WordPress Support

Our team is based right here in Eugene, and we’re a community-first operation. Our work isn’t outsourced to India or ChatGPT or anywhere else. We handle it in house.

And we don’t like unexpected bills. Our monthly WordPress hosting and support plan comes with “an hour” of support time, but we’ll let you know ahead of time if something is going to fall outside of that or if your support needs are outgrowing that cost.

So when you see $75/mo, that’s all-in. No hourly billable support. Many small business websites never need anything more.

Stop Worrying About Your WordPress Website

If you’re ready to stop holding your breath when you hit the update button, this is the right place. If you have questions first, try our general contact form!

When we adopt your WordPress website, we’ll conduct a website tune-up. We’ll audit your site and provide you with a report that includes anything we think you need to know—concerns, recommendations, etc. This one-time migration and tune-up is $350.

Then, every month, you get the great benefits above. It’s truly worry-free. Start by filling out the form below.

The Technical Details

Keep reading below to get into the weeds of our WordPress hosting and support plan.

How Often Is Your Website Down?

Any form of “website down” means your business is losing money. It shouldn’t happen.

And at Sterner Stuff, it doesn’t! As of writing, the last 30 days showed 100% uptime for all our clients. The last outage was a planned hardware update for one client. The site was down for 3 minutes.

Prevent Hacks with Managed Updates

99% of WordPress security is keeping plugins and themes up-to-date. So we do that. Stop putting it off.

Security flaws can be discovered and patched in days or weeks, so running updates is important. At Sterner Stuff, we’ve got it covered for you. Our centralized tools allow us to update all instances of anything with a new security flaw all at once.

And with the Sterner Stuff update plan, not only are you getting regular updates, but if for some reason your site does get hacked, or an update breaks functionality on your site, we’ll fix it. The timer still isn’t running—it’s covered.

Support Without Hourly Billing

Our managed WordPress offering includes an hour of time each month for small support requests. Forgot how to change a photo on your website? Want someone else to change a photo on your website? Maybe a button isn’t working or an external link was updated. These ticky-tack items come up, and we don’t want to run the timer on you to take care of it. On the monthly update and support plan, you’re covered.

Really Nitty-Gritty Details

Alright, this section is going to get into stuff you really don’t need to worry about, but it’s here for the technically inclined.

Our Hosting Partner – Kinsta

We partner with Kinsta for hosting our clients. Their excellent team is keeping your site up 24/7. Some old-school providers are still hosting client websites with servers on their premises, which means if something goes wrong in the middle of the night, they probably don’t have anyone on staff to fix it.

Kinsta is serving your site from across the globe, which means it loads faster for visitors. They also host your site on better, faster, and more managed hardware than those bottom-of-the-barrel shared hosts. We’re big fans.

Performance Improvements

We use caching and image optimization plugins to make sure your site is faster than the competition. Some agencies charge you for licenses for these paid plugins, but we bundle all that into your existing monthly cost. Learn more about our performance work.
