Maintenance Plans
Maintenance thatprevents disasters.
Proactive WordPress maintenance that keeps your site secure, fast, and up-to-date — so you can focus on running your business instead of worrying about your website.
Continuous care
on autopilot.
Monitor
24/7 uptime monitoring with instant alerts. If your site goes down, I know within minutes -- often before you or your customers notice.
Update
WordPress core, themes, and plugins updated on a staging environment first, then deployed to production after passing compatibility tests.
Backup
Automated daily backups stored off-site with 30-day retention. One-click restore capability so recovery takes minutes, not hours.
Scan
Regular security scans for malware, vulnerabilities, and suspicious file changes. Threats are neutralised before they become incidents.
Report
Monthly reports covering uptime, updates applied, security status, performance metrics, and recommendations for improvement.
Always protected,
always performing.
What security updates are included?
WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates applied promptly and tested on a staging environment before going live. Security patches are never skipped or delayed.
How do daily backups work?
Automated daily backups of your files and database, stored securely off-site. If anything goes wrong, I can restore your site to any point within the last 30 days in minutes.
What is uptime monitoring?
Your site is checked every 60 seconds from multiple global locations. If it goes down, I receive an immediate alert and begin investigating before you even know there is a problem.
What are performance audits?
Monthly performance reviews covering load times, Core Web Vitals, database health, caching efficiency, and actionable recommendations to keep your site running at peak speed.
What content updates are included?
Text changes, image swaps, new pages, and minor layout adjustments handled within your monthly allowance. Your site stays fresh and current without you touching the backend.
How does priority support work?
Direct access to me via email or message -- no ticket queues, no chatbots, no waiting days for a response. Maintenance clients always go to the front of the line.
What happens to unmaintained WordPress sites.
An unmaintained WordPress site is a ticking time bomb. WordPress releases security patches multiple times per year, and plugins push updates even more frequently. Every skipped update is an open door for attackers. The WordPress security ecosystem is transparent by design -- when a vulnerability is patched, the details are published, which means hackers know exactly what to exploit on sites that have not updated.
Beyond security, performance degrades silently. Database tables accumulate orphaned data, post revisions bloat, transient caches expire and are not cleaned, and autoloaded options grow unchecked. After 12 months without maintenance, most WordPress sites are noticeably slower than they were at launch -- even if no content has changed.
The cost of reactive fixes is always higher than proactive maintenance. A hacked site can cost thousands to clean, days of downtime, and lasting damage to your Google rankings and customer trust. A maintenance plan costs a fraction of that and prevents the problem entirely.
WordPress sites are hacked every single day, predominantly those running outdated software with known vulnerabilities.
uptime target for all maintained sites. I monitor continuously and respond to incidents within minutes, not hours.
cheaper to maintain a site proactively than to fix it after a hack or crash. Prevention always beats emergency repair.
Why choose me for site maintenance?
I am not a managed hosting company running automated update scripts and calling it maintenance. I am a developer who personally reviews every update, tests it on staging, and deploys it to production only after confirming there are no conflicts. When something does go wrong, I do not send you a ticket number -- I fix it myself.
My maintenance plans are designed for business owners who want to stop worrying about their website. You should not need to know what PHP version you are running or whether your SSL certificate is about to expire. That is my job. You focus on your business; I make sure your website supports it reliably.
Every client gets a monthly report showing exactly what was done, what was found, and what is recommended for the coming month. Full transparency, no hidden work, and no surprise invoices. The monthly fee covers everything listed in your plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Every plan includes WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates, daily backups, 24/7 uptime monitoring, security scanning, monthly performance audits, and priority support. Higher-tier plans add content update hours, quarterly strategy calls, and emergency bug fixing at no additional cost.
Plans start at a monthly rate that covers all core maintenance tasks. The exact cost depends on the size and complexity of your site, how many plugins you run, and whether you need content update hours included. Get in touch for a custom quote based on your specific site.
Maintenance clients receive same-day responses for all requests and immediate attention for critical issues like downtime or security incidents. Most non-urgent requests are handled within 24 hours. Emergency situations are addressed within 1-2 hours during business hours.
Security patches are applied within 24-48 hours of release. Feature updates are batched and applied weekly after staging tests. WordPress core major updates are applied within the first week of release after thorough compatibility testing. You are never left running outdated, vulnerable software.
Backup restores are included at no extra cost. I maintain 30 days of daily backups stored off-site, so I can restore your site to any specific date. Full restores typically take 15-30 minutes, and partial restores (like recovering a deleted page) can be done even faster.
