It's been a pleasure...
Dear Evergreen Natural Pet-
It’s been a pleasure working with you on updating your website. I hope you love the results and are proud to share your website with your customers old and new. I also am excited to see your organic traffic pick up as we’ve done a lot to optimize your SEO!
This page is not public facing – it is for your eyes only. This page will serve as a receptacle for your training videos, a reference for how things work, and a celebration of how far you’ve come.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out at any time if you have a question or need support with your site. Your project comes with 30 days of support related to the work we did together. I want you to be 100% confident that you know how to use and update your site. Please email me at [email protected] with any questions.
Your 30 days of free support end on July 15, 2022.
If you find that you need help maintaining your website, I can help you with a monthly maintenance agreement where I do all your website updates, backups, and security checks, plus you’ll get up to 30 minutes of support per month for just $100. Other options are available if you need more or less support. If you’d like to explore that option, you can get more information by emailing me at any time. You also get discounted pricing on my VIP days and half days, if you have further projects you would like help with.
I want to thank you again for putting your business in my hands. I appreciate the trust you placed in me and I hope the process was smooth and enjoyable for you.
As I’m sure you know, referrals and words from happy customers make growing an online business so much easier, and I’d be thrilled if you spread the word about our work together and/or provide me with a Google review or a quote that I could use on my website or on social media. Please use either or both links below to submit your feedback (note: the feedback form is kinda longish, but if you could take the time to answer the first main question, I would be forever grateful!!)
Best wishes, and please stay in touch! I’m excited to see all the results of your forward momentum!

Reminder About Maintaining and Updating your Website
I recommend setting a reminder on your calendar to check your website over, and see if anything needs updating on the front end AND the back end at least once a month (for you guys, probably twice). If anything seems odd or is not working correctly, please give me a call. If it’s not an easy fix, we should have a number of backups in various places (you have the most current ones on your Google Drive, GreenGeeks has a copy, and I take monthly copies – the easiest ones to restore from would me either mine or yours though).
Remember that the place to update plugins is from the Updates page instead of the Plugins page.
The Updates page will show you if a plugin is compatible with your version of WordPress.
List of Plugins on your site and their purpose and cost
Chaty Pro – Chat icon in lower right corner – $149/lifetime (you purchased)
