Business Owners Without In-House Dev
You don't have time to manage updates yourself, and you don't want to risk a site going down unnoticed.
Website Maintenance
WordPress Maintenance Plans — Updates, Backups & Support
Websites break when nobody's watching. Monthly maintenance plans covering core and plugin updates, security monitoring, automated backups, uptime checks, and priority support.
Quick Answer
WordPress maintenance covers the ongoing technical upkeep a site needs to stay secure and fast: core and plugin updates, automated daily backups, malware and uptime monitoring, broken link checks, and a guaranteed response time for fixes. Without it, sites gradually accumulate security vulnerabilities and performance issues.

WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates
Daily automated off-site backups
Malware scanning and security monitoring
Uptime monitoring with instant alerts
Broken link and 404 monitoring

How It Works

Full site health check — plugins, themes, security, and backup status reviewed.

4
Reporting
Monthly report covering what was updated, fixed, and monitored.
What I commit to
Backups get tested, not just taken
A backup nobody has ever restored is a guess, not a safety net. Restores get tested to a staging environment on a schedule, so the day you actually need one isn't the day you find out it doesn't work.

Common Questions
Uptime monitoring alerts me immediately, and emergency response is included in all plans — Business tier guarantees same-day response, while Basic and Pro target next-business-day resolution.
I can recommend and help manage hosting, but hosting itself is billed separately by your provider — maintenance plans cover the WordPress layer, not server infrastructure costs.
Yes, all maintenance plans are month-to-month with no lock-in contract.
Minor bug fixes are covered under Pro and Business tiers. Larger feature work or redesigns are quoted separately as project work.
