Website Maintenance
Updates, backups, speed and security handled every month, so the site you paid for stays the site you have.
Nothing breaks a site faster than nobody owning it
WordPress sites do not stay still. Plugins update, PHP versions move on, and a theme that worked last year quietly starts conflicting with something this year. The failures are rarely dramatic. A contact form stops sending, a page starts taking six seconds instead of two, and nobody notices for a month.
The other half of the problem is security. An unpatched plugin is the most common way a small business site gets compromised, and the clean-up afterwards costs far more than the patching would have. None of this is difficult work, but it does have to happen, on a schedule, whether or not anything looks wrong.
The cheapest month of maintenance is the one before something breaks.
Six things we do
01
Updates on a scheduleCore, theme and plugin updates applied to a staging copy first, so a bad release never reaches your visitors.
02
Off-site backupsTaken daily, stored away from the server, and restore-tested, because a backup nobody has ever restored is only a guess.
03
Uptime monitoringWe find out the site is down before your customers are the ones telling you about it.
04
Security hardeningLogin protection, sane file permissions and malware scanning, with patches applied as they ship rather than quarterly.
05
Speed checksMeasured every month, so gradual slowdown gets caught while it is still gradual instead of becoming the new normal.
06
A monthly noteWhat we did, what we found, and anything you need to decide. In plain English, not a link to a dashboard.
12
Checks run on every site we look after, every month
Boring, on purpose
Good maintenance produces no stories. The measure of it is that nothing interesting happened: no outage, no compromise, no slow creep in load time, and no unpleasant surprise on the day you need the backup.
Website Development
If the underlying build is the problem, maintenance manages the symptoms rather than fixing it.
