Straight talk

Clients' sites hold their customers' data. Use only legitimately licensed themes and plugins, keep backups, use a password manager and never hold the only copy of a client's logins or domain. Say exactly what maintenance covers and does not cover; do not promise security or uptime you cannot control.
