What maintenance covers,
in plain English.
Maintenance means keeping your website, theme, and plugins safely updated. It means backing everything up so it can be restored instantly, monitoring security 24/7, and having someone to call when something odd happens.
- Updated safely to prevent conflicts
- Backed up daily
- Enterprise-grade firewall to prevent threats
Skip it, and problems
accumulate quietly.
Like the apps on your phone, the software behind your website is updated constantly. Left alone, an unmaintained site gets slower, update conflicts arise, and security vulnerabilities stay open.
With a tailored maintenance plan, updates happen on schedule in a safe environment, backups exist when you actually need them, and problems are fixed before you or your visitors even know they happened.
Why I don't do
"One Size Fits All"
Every business is different. Whether you are a local tradesman or run a high-traffic e-commerce store, I don't force you into a rigid pricing tier with features you don't need. We have a quick chat to figure out exactly what support your specific website requires and nothing else.
Common Maintenance Questions
Why do websites need looking after?
Just like your business, the technology powering your website is constantly evolving. Regular updates keep things running fast and close security loopholes. Ignoring maintenance eventually leads to broken features, slow loading times, and expensive emergency repairs.
Can I look after my own website?
You absolutely can, provided you're comfortable testing plugin compatibility, managing database backups, and fixing the occasional software conflict. Most of my clients simply prefer to invest their time running their business, leaving the technical heavy lifting to me.
What does website maintenance cost?
A lot less than fixing a broken or hacked website! Because every business needs something slightly different, I don't use rigid pricing tiers. Get in touch and we can discuss a package that fits your exact needs.
What if I say no to maintenance?
That is always your choice! I will still be here if something goes wrong, though emergency repairs on unmaintained sites are charged at a standard hourly rate. You will also need to manage your own premium hosting in that scenario.
