WordPress Maintenance & Support

Your WordPress site needs regular care to stay secure, fast and reliable.

Our maintenance service handles monthly updates, daily monitoring and routine backups for £99 per month.

No hidden costs, no surprises. You focus on running your business while we keep your website working properly.

We’ve maintained WordPress sites for over 10 years.

We understand what small business owners need: reliable service, clear communication, and fair pricing.

Your website is too important to leave unattended.

Why Regular WordPress Maintenance Matters

WordPress sites need ongoing attention.

Without regular updates, your site becomes vulnerable to security threats and performance problems.

Outdated plugins create security holes.

Old themes cause compatibility issues.

Neglected sites slow down, crash or get hacked.

The cost of fixing a hacked site far exceeds the cost of preventing it.

Downtime loses you customers. Security breaches damage your reputation.

Small businesses can’t afford either.

Regular maintenance prevents these problems. Monthly updates keep everything current.

Daily monitoring catches issues before they become serious and routine backups mean you can recover quickly if something goes wrong.

What’s Included in Your Maintenance Package

Our WordPress care package makes sure your site is running smoothly, safely and reliably.

Here’s what happens.

Monthly WordPress Updates

We update your WordPress core, plugins and themes every month. Before applying any updates, we check for compatibility issues. If an update might cause problems, we’ll contact you before proceeding.

Everything is tested to ensure your site continues working correctly.

Daily Uptime Monitoring

We monitor your website 24/7 using automated tools. If your site goes down or develops problems, we’re alerted immediately.

We check the issue and work to resolve it quickly. You won’t need to worry about whether your site is working. We’re watching it for you.

Routine Backups

We will configure regular automated backups of your website. We use UpdraftPlus or work with your existing backup solution.

If something goes wrong, we can restore your site from a recent backup. Recovery is usually quick and straightforward.

What’s Not Included

This service covers technical maintenance only. We don’t include design changes, major content updates or major functionality changes.

Those services are available separately. Being clear about what’s included helps avoid confusion. You know exactly what you’re paying for.

How Our Maintenance Service Works

We apply updates on a monthly schedule. Before making any changes, we check for potential conflicts or compatibility issues. Updates are tested to ensure everything works correctly.

Our automated monitoring systems check your site every few minutes throughout the day. If problems occur, we receive immediate alerts and investigate.

We’ll need admin access to your WordPress site and hosting account. This allows us to perform updates and troubleshoot issues.

All access is kept secure and confidential.

We’re always available if you have questions or concerns.

You might need maintenance if:

  • You run an ecommerce site that must stay online and secure.
  • You’re a professional service provider whose website generates enquiries.
  • You operate a membership site or booking system.
  • You simply don’t have time to manage technical updates.

Perhaps you’re not technically confident with WordPress. You value reliability and want expert support available.

Frequently Asked Questions

We update your WordPress site monthly. This includes WordPress core, plugins and themes. Before applying updates, we check for compatibility issues to prevent conflicts.

Some security patches require immediate attention. If a serious vulnerability is discovered, we’ll apply emergency updates outside the regular schedule and inform you.

Monthly updates strike the right balance between staying current and avoiding unnecessary changes to a working website.

We only apply updates that are 100% compatible with your version of WordPress.

However, if an update does cause problems, we have your recent backup ready. We can restore your site immediately and investigate the issue.

We’ll identify which update caused the problem, contact the plugin or theme developer if needed, and find a solution. In some cases, we might need to temporarily roll back an update while waiting for a fix.

You won’t be left with a broken website. We take responsibility for resolving any update-related issues quickly.

This is why backups and monitoring are essential parts of any maintenance service.

Yes, we maintain multiple sites for many clients. Each site requires its own maintenance package at £99 per month. There’s no discount for multiple sites as each requires the same amount of work and attention.

Some businesses operate multiple sites for different brands or locations. We’re experienced at managing maintenance for clients with multiple WordPress installations.

Contact us to discuss your specific requirements if you have several sites needing maintenance.

No, we don’t offer website hosting. We work with your existing hosting provider. This keeps costs transparent and gives you flexibility to choose hosting that suits your needs.

We can assess your current hosting if you’re experiencing performance problems. We’ll recommend better options if your hosting is inadequate. However, you purchase hosting directly from the provider.

We’re comfortable working with any reputable WordPress hosting service. Separating maintenance from hosting means you’re not locked into one provider.

WordPress websites need updating for three main reasons.

First, security. Hackers constantly search for vulnerabilities in outdated software, and updates patch these security holes before they can be exploited.

Second, compatibility. Your plugins, themes, and hosting environment all evolve, and updates ensure everything continues working together properly.

Third, functionality. Updates fix bugs that cause errors, improve performance, and add new features that keep your site running efficiently.

Without regular updates, your site becomes increasingly vulnerable to security breaches, technical problems, and compatibility issues that can damage your business.

Our maintenance service covers scheduled updates and monitoring. Urgent fixes for new problems fall outside the regular service.

If you experience an urgent issue like a hacked site or critical error, contact us immediately. We’ll assess the problem and provide a quote for emergency work. Most small fixes can be handled quickly.

Our monthly maintenance significantly reduces the likelihood of urgent problems occurring. Prevention is better than emergency fixes.

Yes, you can cancel at any time. We require 30 days’ notice so we can complete any scheduled work and provide proper offboarding.

We believe you should stay because our service is valuable, not because you’re locked in. If we’re not meeting your needs, you’re free to cancel.

Before cancelling, we’ll discuss any concerns to ensure we’re providing the service you expected. Sometimes issues can be resolved with better communication.

If you cancel, we’ll provide final reports and ensure you have recent backups.

Content updates aren’t included in our maintenance service.

These are often quite time consuming and so additional time is required.

However, if you have very simple (and quick) updates, please drop us an email with the details.

We maintain automated backups using UpdraftPlus or your existing backup solution. Backups run on a regular schedule.

Server based backup solutions are preferred but we protect many websites with WordPress based backups.

If you need to restore your site, we handle this for you. Restoration usually takes a few hours depending on site size.

You can access your backups if needed. We’ll provide instructions on accessing the backup storage. However, most clients prefer us to handle restoration as it’s technically involved.

Regular backups mean we can recover your site quickly if something goes wrong. This is essential protection for your business website.

Yes, we maintain WordPress sites using WooCommerce and other popular plugins. WooCommerce updates are handled as part of regular plugin maintenance.

However, we don’t provide ecommerce management services like adding products, processing orders or managing stock. That remains your responsibility.

We’re experienced with most popular WordPress plugins including membership systems, booking systems, form builders and SEO plugins.

If you use specialised or custom plugins, tell us during the consultation. We’ll confirm we’re comfortable maintaining your specific setup.

Maintaining your own WordPress site is very much possible but is time-consuming and requires a certain level of technical expertise.

You need to check for updates regularly, test them before applying, monitor for problems and maintain backups.

Most business owners underestimate the time required. Updates aren’t just clicking a button. You need to check compatibility, test functionality and have backups ready.

If something goes wrong, you need technical knowledge to fix it. Without experience, a small problem can become a major issue.

Our service does it all for £99 per month.
