When something goes wrong on your website, you want a straight answer from someone who knows your site, not a ticket number. With my WordPress maintenance plans you deal with me directly, backed by a small, hands-on team. I've been building and looking after websites for 13+ years, and I'm rated 4.9 stars from 33 Google reviews. I'm a CSS Design Awards winner, so I care how the site looks and performs, not just whether the plugins are up to date. Maintenance also covers sites built by other designers and developers. 01 / Services ## What Every Maintenance Plan Covers Maintenance keeps the site secure, fast and reliable, and catches problems before your customers find them. 01 ### Website Backups Scheduled backups of your files and database, stored offsite, so a hack or a failed update can be reversed quickly. Basic plans include monthly backups; Plus and Pro include daily backups. 02 ### Core, Plugin & Theme Updates WordPress core, plugin and theme updates applied with compatibility testing first, so updates protect your site without breaking it. Plus and Pro plans test updates on a staging site before they touch your live site. 03 ### Security Monitoring Malware and vulnerability monitoring, with a web application firewall where appropriate. Strong login security, including multi-factor authentication, and limits on login attempts help stop brute-force attacks. 04 ### Performance & Speed Checks Regular speed tests and Core Web Vitals monitoring, plus caching and database clean-up (post revisions, spam comments and expired transients) to keep queries fast. 05 ### Uptime Monitoring Monitoring with instant alerts, so downtime is caught early and fixed before it costs you enquiries. 06 ### Broken Link Checks & Content Updates Monthly scans for broken links, which hurt both user experience and search rankings, plus periodic content reviews and basic SEO upkeep. 07 ### SSL Certificate Management SSL monitoring and renewal so your site stays secure in browsers and in the WordPress dashboard. 08 ### Monthly Maintenance Reports Clear reports on the work completed, security status, performance results and recommendations for further improvement. 02 / Process ## My Maintenance Process Every plan starts with an audit, so the plan fits the site it looks after. Get a free estimate: call [02 8317 3526](tel:+61283173526)- 01 ### Website audit and assessment A review of your WordPress setup, security status, performance and hosting, including confirming the server runs a supported version of PHP (at least 8.1). - 02 ### Custom maintenance plan Proactive monitoring, updates and protection tailored to your site and its traffic patterns. - 03 ### Staging environment On Plus and Pro plans, updates are tested on a staging site first, including forms and ecommerce processes, before they reach your visitors. - 04 ### Monthly reports Detailed reports on maintenance completed, security and performance results, and recommendations. 03 / Pricing ## Maintenance Plans No contracts, and you can cancel anytime.

Talk it through with me directly, Monday to Friday, 9 to 5.[Call me on 02 8317 3526 →](tel:+61283173526)How often does WordPress need maintenance?+ Core, theme and plugin updates should be applied regularly, and security monitoring runs continuously. Backups are monthly on Basic and daily on Plus and Pro. Can I handle WordPress maintenance myself?+ You can, if you have the technical skill and the time. Many business owners outsource it so they can focus on running the business, and a plan covers backups, security and updates consistently. What happens if my site breaks during maintenance?+ On Plus and Pro plans, updates are tested on a staging site before they touch your live site. If something goes wrong, backups let me restore the site. How much does WordPress maintenance cost?+ Plans start at $299 a month for Web Manager Basic, $449 a month for Web Manager Plus and $599 a month for Web Manager Pro. There are no contracts, and you can cancel anytime. Who will I be dealing with?+ You'll be dealing with me directly, backed by a small, hands-on team. When you call or email, you're talking to the person who knows your site. Can you look after a site someone else built?+ Yes. I start with a website audit, tell you what shape the site is in, what needs fixing and which plan fits. Sites built by other designers and developers are welcome. Our guarantee ## Web Design Happiness Guarantee Website builds start with a 50% deposit, and my guarantee covers the final balance. You don't pay it until you're 100% happy with the finished site.
