Service Requests

Need a blog post reformatted? A video embedded? Text updated? Existing products updated? Simply submit a Service Request through Shadeflower’s online form and let me handle the details behind the scenes — so your website stays polished, current, and beautifully maintained.

Depending on your plan, Service Requests may include up to 5 website updates per request. Additional updates can be purchased as needed.

Unused Service Requests do not roll over into the next month.

Minor Technical Issues

Sometimes small issues pop up — a downed page, a broken link, or even a puzzling email from your web provider. With your maintenance plan, you’ll have ongoing support for small day-to-day website issues and troubleshooting.

General Cleanup

Shadeflower routinely checks for broken links, slow-loading pages, spam comments, outdated plugins, and overall website health to help keep your digital garden thriving.

Software & Plugin Updates

Websites require regular updates and ongoing care to stay secure, functional, and running smoothly. For WordPress sites, this includes plugin, theme, and software updates; for Squarespace sites, this includes platform monitoring, feature updates, and performance oversight.

Shadeflower handles these behind-the-scenes updates so your website stays protected, polished, and ready to grow alongside your business.

Care Reports

Depending on your plan, you’ll receive monthly or quarterly Care Reports with analytics snapshots, maintenance summaries, and personalized recommendations to help your website thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between a Content Update and a Service Request?
A Service Request is what you would submit to make Content Updates to your site. A maximum of 5 Content Updates may be submitted per Service Request. 

Does Shadeflower Studios guarantee that my site won’t be breached?
Unfortunately, no. There is no company that can guarantee that (and if they do, they probably get around on flying pigs, too!). Botnets and hackers are getting more and more sophisticated all the time. It’s a bad guys versus the good guys on the Internet – but fortunately, there are a lot of good guys. Shadeflower works hard to keep on top of threats so that appropriate measures can be taken to protect your site.

How often are plugin, theme, and core updates released?
Depending on the plugins installed, updates and patches are sometimes released weekly. The core is less frequent, but security patches are usually released at least once a month.

Why do I have to pay a Setup Fee?
The fee pays for my time to optimize your website with my recommended plugins and security features and to familiarize myself with your site. The fee is waived for customers who have had Shadeflower Studios service website within the last 6 months.

How do I submit a Service Request?
Visit the Member Resources page and click the Service Request Form link. You may submit up to 5 Content Updates per Service Request. Please be as detailed as possible so that your modifications are done right the first time. But if Shadeflower has misinterpreted your request or it just doesn’t look the way you envisioned, simply let us know and we will amend it as soon as possible at no extra charge.

How soon will my Service Request be posted?
Your Service Request will post within 3 business days. Though if you need something done faster, please indicate that in your Service Request and I’ll do my best to make that happen!

Please note: Shadeflower Studios reserves the right to close business for any reason (i.e., holidays, vacation, family emergencies, bereavement, maternity, hospitalization, or sickness). Whenever possible, you will receive an email notification for a date when all new Service Requests must be submitted. If Shadeflower Studios is closed for an extended amount of time, your monthly membership fee may be prorated or refunded, at Shadeflower’s discretion.

What happens if one month I need more?
Shadeflower Studios wants to make life easier on you. For the occasional overages, you can purchase a Content Updates for $20 or a Service Request (bundle of 5 Content Updates) for $75. If it makes more sense to upgrade, you can do so at any time without any commitments. Stay at your upgraded plan, or downgrade back to where you were – it’s up to you! Simply reach out to Shadeflower to amend. Note: Service plans are sold by the month and cannot be prorated. Downgrades and Upgrades will be effective after each billing cycle.

What if I decide to cancel?
I hope you will be so happy with my services that you wouldn’t ever dream of canceling – but I understand that things change. Simply reach out to Shadeflower via text or email and I’ll get you squared away. However, if you are dissatisfied with the service in any way, please let me know so that I can get a chance to make it right! Note: Service plans are sold by the month and cannot be prorated. Downgrades and Upgrades will be effective after each billing cycle.

I don’t have a WordPress or Squarespace site – can you still support my website?
Shadeflower specializes in WordPress and Squarespace sites, but is comfortable with many other platforms. Each platform has different needs and requirements. Please contact Shadeflower to see if a plan can be applied to your website.
