A website isn’t “done” at launch — it needs looking after. Plugins and frameworks update, security threats evolve, backups need to actually run, and small edits pile up. Website Maintenance takes all of that off your plate for a predictable monthly fee, whether your site is on WordPress, a custom framework, or an e-commerce platform.
Each month I keep everything updated and backed up, watch uptime, run security and performance checks, and handle a set allowance of content edits and small fixes — then send you one short report so you can see it’s all handled. It’s the quiet, boring work that keeps a site from becoming an emergency.
How the work runs
Maintenance is deliberately routine. Each month everything gets updated on a staging copy first where the site allows it, so a plugin update does not become an outage you find out about from a customer. Backups are checked by restoring them occasionally, because an untested backup is only a comforting assumption.
Uptime and performance are monitored between those checks, so problems tend to be caught before anyone else notices them.
What you actually get
Updates and backups handled, uptime monitoring, security and performance checks, and a set allowance of content edits and small fixes each month — then one short report so you can see it was done. It works on WordPress, custom frameworks or e-commerce platforms alike.
Why it is worth paying for
Almost every emergency rescue I take on could have been prevented by an hour of routine work a month. Outdated plugins, expired certificates and backups that were never actually running cause far more downtime than sophisticated attacks do. Maintenance is cheaper than recovery, and considerably less stressful.
Who it suits
Businesses without an in-house developer. Owners who have been meaning to run updates for months. And anyone who has already been through one emergency and would rather not repeat it.
