Care Plans
Most WordPress problems come from sites left untouched after launch. A maintenance plan keeps the software current, the backups recent and the site monitored, so it stays secure and quick and you are not the last to know when something breaks.
Core, theme and plugin updates applied carefully and checked, rather than left to auto-update and break unnoticed.
Regular off-site backups and uptime monitoring, so the site is recoverable and you hear about downtime from us first.
Ongoing scanning, hardening and speed checks to keep the site protected and fast as it grows.
A monthly allowance for the content edits and tweaks every site needs, without raising a new job each time.
We do the unglamorous work that keeps a site healthy on a predictable plan, and report what we did. It is far cheaper than emergency recovery, and it protects the investment you have already made.

The single biggest cause of WordPress sites breaking, slowing down or getting hacked is neglect. A site is built, launched, and then left untouched for a year or two while the software underneath it quietly goes out of date. By the time anyone looks again, there are dozens of pending updates, a security hole or two, and a backup situation nobody is sure about.
Maintenance is the boring, valuable work that prevents all of that. It keeps the software current, the backups recent and the site monitored, so problems are caught early and the site stays fast and secure. It is far cheaper than emergency recovery, and it protects the money you have already spent building the site.
Plenty of hosts and plugins offer automatic updates, and they have their place. But automatic updates also break sites, because a plugin update can conflict with your theme or another plugin and take a page, a form or the whole site down with no warning. Applying updates carefully, checking the site afterwards, and keeping a recent backup to roll back to is the difference between maintenance that protects you and automation that occasionally bites.
Each month you get a short report of what was done: what was updated, what was backed up, anything that was flagged and fixed. You do not have to think about the plumbing, but you can see that it is being looked after. And if the worst does happen, a maintained site with recent off-site backups is dramatically faster and cheaper to restore than one that has been left alone. If you have already been hit, our hacked WordPress recovery service is the place to start, and a maintenance plan keeps it from recurring.
A site that seems fine is often the one quietly running out-of-date software with no recent backup. Maintenance is insurance and prevention: it keeps small issues from becoming the expensive emergencies that "fine" sites tend to turn into without warning.
Yes. Most maintenance plans are for existing sites built by someone else. We start by getting the site into a known good state, then keep it there.
A reasonable allowance for the routine content edits and minor tweaks every site needs, such as updating text, swapping images or adding a page. Larger pieces of work are quoted separately, but the day-to-day changes are covered so you are not raising a new job for every small thing.
Because we apply updates carefully and keep recent backups, we can roll back quickly if an update causes a problem, then resolve the conflict properly before reapplying. That safety net is a core reason to have managed updates rather than automatic ones.
It can work hand in hand with it. We host and maintain in one place through our preferred supplier, which means performance and security issues are caught and fixed together. Our web hosting page has more on how we approach it.
