Website maintenance that keeps your site from breaking silently.
WordPress + plugin updates weekly. Daily backups. Uptime monitoring. Small edits included.
Websites aren't set-and-forget. Plugins need updating, backups need running, vulnerabilities need patching — and when nobody's watching, sites break or get hacked silently. Maintenance is the cheap insurance that keeps small problems from becoming outages.
Why maintenance matters more than people think
Every WordPress plugin update is a potential incident. Every unpatched vulnerability is a potential hack. Every day a backup doesn't run is a day you're one server failure away from a hard rebuild. Websites are not "set and forget" infrastructure. They need weekly attention or they fail.
What "weekly updates" actually includes
Log into your WP admin (or ours if we host). Check plugin update queue. Apply low-risk updates immediately. Test high-risk updates on a staging clone first (WooCommerce, form plugins, page builders). Roll back if issues. Confirm site still loads. Log the change. That's ~30 minutes per site per week — done consistently, it prevents 95% of "the site is down" emergencies.
What's in the $49/mo plan
Weekly plugin + WordPress core updates. Daily off-site backups (kept 30 days). Malware scanning + firewall (Wordfence or Cloudflare). Uptime monitoring (5-minute checks). Up to 30 minutes of small edits per month (text changes, image swaps, adding a page). Priority email support (24-hour response). Monthly report.
Why 'set and forget' fails
Every plugin update is a potential incident. Every unpatched vulnerability is an open door. Every day a backup doesn't run is a day you're one server failure from a from-scratch rebuild. Sites that go untended don't stay fine — they fail quietly, usually at the worst possible moment. Weekly attention is what prevents that.
What weekly care actually looks like
We check the update queue, apply low-risk updates immediately, and test the risky ones (WooCommerce, forms, builders) on a staging clone before they touch your live site — rolling back if anything misbehaves. Then we confirm the site still loads and log the change. About thirty minutes a week, done consistently, prevents the large majority of 'the site is down' emergencies.
What's in the plan

Questions people ask about maintenance
Can't I just update plugins myself?
You can, until an update breaks checkout or the site and you're troubleshooting live at 9pm. We test risky updates on staging first and roll back safely — that's what you're really paying for.
What if my site gets hacked while on a plan?
Daily backups and active monitoring mean we catch and recover fast. Full incident cleanup is our security service, but maintenance dramatically lowers the odds you ever need it.
Are edits really included?
Yes — up to 30 minutes of small changes each month at no extra cost. Bigger changes are quoted separately, but the everyday tweaks are covered.
Do I have to host with you to get maintenance?
No — we can maintain a site hosted anywhere. It's smoother if we host too, but it isn't required.
