The updates are how security vulnerabilities get patched, performance gets improved, and compatibility problems get caught before they become a problem for your visitors.
Of course, the updates don’t apply themselves. And an unmaintained WordPress site is one of the most common entry points for the kind of attack that doesn’t just take your site down—it can quietly damage your reputation and your search rankings while you’re completely unaware.
Most small business owners know this in the abstract and then don’t think about it again until something breaks. Our maintenance plan makes sure that never happens.
What’s included
We keep WordPress itself current and secure, apply plugin and theme updates carefully with compatibility checks before anything goes live, and run daily backups that we store securely off-site so your site is fully recoverable in a worst-case scenario. We monitor for unusual activity, malware, and vulnerabilities, and we run regular performance checks to make sure your site stays fast as it grows and changes.
In short: you focus on your business. We keep an eye on your website.
If you’d rather go it alone
That’s completely fine—WordPress is designed to be manageable by non-technical users, and we’ll walk you through everything before we hand the site over. If you ever change your mind, maintenance is available whenever you need it.
Pricing
Maintenance is priced as a monthly retainer. The cost depends on the size and complexity of your site. We’ll include a maintenance option in your project proposal so you can decide at launch whether you’d like us to stay involved.
