Your WordPress maintenance

Reliable WordPress maintenance, with direct access to the person doing the work.

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.

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.
