How much do you pay for website support?
Enter your current terms — the figures shown are examples only.
?Check your invoice or contract — e.g. "200 €/mo for website maintenance".
€/mo
?Your contract may state e.g. "4 hrs/mo of support work". If you pay a flat fee with no hours specified, select "Not sure".
hrs
?For example, if you contact your vendor twice a month for about 1 hour each time, that is 2 hours. If you rarely contact them, enter 1.
hrs
?You report an issue by email — how long until you receive a reply or resolution?
What do you get from your vendor?
Select "Yes" only for services you actually receive. If you are unsure, choose "Not sure".
?We will send your report to this address.
You receive a monthly report
?Does your vendor send a monthly report covering work completed, visitor numbers, and updates applied?
You receive security reports
?Does your vendor inform you about WordPress updates, detected threats, or backups created?
Website speed is monitored
?Does your vendor check page load times and share Google PageSpeed or similar results?
Accessibility (WCAG) is checked
?Does anyone verify that the website is accessible to people with disabilities — text size, contrast, keyboard navigation?
Proposes improvements quarterly
?Does your vendor proactively suggest improvements every quarter, such as "We could optimise X, add Y, or update Z"?
Who controls your website?
If you do not know, that is already a warning sign. Choose "Not sure".
Who manages the server (hosting)?
?Where does your website live? If you have access to the hosting control panel, you manage it. If only your vendor does, they control it.
Who manages the domain (address)?
?Who can change the DNS settings for your domain (e.g. organisation.eu)? If only your vendor has access, they control it.
Do you have admin access to the website?
?Can you log in to yoursite.eu/wp-admin with your own credentials and edit content?
You have access to backups
?Can you download a copy of your website or restore an earlier version yourself if something goes wrong?
