01 / THE SERVICE
Less “what broke?”
More business as usual.
A store is more than a collection of plugins. I look after the parts that keep customers moving from a product to a completed order.
A checkout that gets checked.
Test orders and a review of key shopping pages help catch broken payment flows and layout changes before release.
A way back when it matters.
Verified backups, uptime monitoring, and a record of every change. When something goes wrong, there’s a place to start.
02 / HOW IT WORKS
A little structure.
A lot less guesswork.
Before I touch your live store, we agree on what needs doing and how it will be handled.
Start with a conversation- 01
First, understand your store.
We discuss what’s working, what’s frustrating, and how your store is set up. I confirm the scope and price before onboarding.
- 02
Get the foundations right.
I check access, verify a backup, prepare staging, and establish your checkout test. Existing problems get their own plan.
- 03
Keep it cared for.
One planned update cycle each month, checkout checks, ongoing monitoring, and a readable report. You know what changed and what comes next.

03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
Hi, I’m Migen.
I’ll be looking after your store.
I’ve spent 15 years building and maintaining websites, from custom WordPress themes to WooCommerce stores and ecommerce integrations.
My work spans WooCommerce and Shopify, ecommerce integrations, and automation across storefronts, product catalogs, and email marketing. I understand how one small website issue can turn into a much bigger day for the people running the business.
CartTend brings that experience to your store, with careful changes and a direct line to the person doing the work.

More about my experience 04 / SIMPLE, AFFORDABLE CARE
Good care.
A fair monthly price.
Routine work is designed to run through automation. I review updates and investigate exceptions, so you get careful maintenance at a lower monthly cost.
$199 to get properly set up.
A one-time fee for a standard store: access checks, a verified backup restore, staging, monitoring, and your checkout test. Existing problems get a separate quote before work starts.
For one standard store using Stripe, WooPayments, or PayPal, with working checkout and a host that supports staging and automated updates. Page builders, custom checkouts, subscriptions, multilingual stores, and complex integrations need a separate assessment.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before we talk.
How do you keep the price at $99?
The plan focuses on standard stores and a repeatable maintenance process. Automation handles routine checks and reporting, while I review releases and investigate exceptions. The price covers defined maintenance work; additional repairs and development are quoted separately.
What does the $199 setup cover?
For a qualifying store, it covers access checks, verifying a backup restore, setting up staging, configuring monitoring, and establishing your checkout test. I confirm eligibility before you pay. If your store needs repairs or a migration first, you receive a separate quote. Monthly billing starts after onboarding is complete.
My store is already behind. Can you help?
Yes. We first assess the backlog and any existing conflicts. Bringing an unsupported or broken setup to a stable baseline is separate work, quoted for your approval. The $99 plan begins once your store meets the standard intake requirements.
Doesn’t my hosting company handle this?
Your host may include backups, updates, and monitoring. I review what’s already covered and focus on your store’s application: plugin compatibility, checkout behavior, and tested changes. If your current setup already meets your needs, I’ll tell you.
Do you need my passwords to assess the store?
No. Our first conversation and a check of public pages need no login. If we work together, you provide a separate account for the agreed work. Please don’t send passwords through this form or email.
What happens if an update causes a problem?
Testing reduces risk, but no process catches every issue. Diagnosis and a safe rollback of updates I apply are included. If a permanent solution needs replacement software or custom development, I explain the options and quote any additional work before proceeding. Monitoring runs automatically; human response is during the published support hours.
Are urgent security updates left until next month?
Verified critical security updates affecting the supported software in your store are assessed outside the regular cycle. They still go through appropriate backup, staging, and checkout checks. This is not a promise of immediate or after-hours emergency response.
Can I get a one-time fix instead?
Yes. Tell me what’s happening and I’ll assess whether a focused repair, migration, or maintenance plan makes sense. One-time work, content changes, and new features are quoted separately; the monthly plan has no general development-hour allowance.
Is there a contract or a cancellation fee?
The plan runs month to month. Email me before your next renewal to cancel, with no cancellation fee. Care continues through the period you’ve paid for. The $199 setup fee is charged once, separately from the monthly plan.
A QUICK FIRST LOOK
Wondering where your store stands?
A quick check of your public page can identify WooCommerce and visible software details. It does not test payments or verify what’s happening inside your store.
