Maintenance coverage
Routine care and technical support, organised around the real risks.
The exact scope depends on the website. A stable company site does not need the same maintenance routine as a busy store or a custom platform.
Backups & Recovery
Scheduled backups, restore-point checks, off-site storage where supported, and recovery guidance when something fails.
Security Monitoring
Malware checks, vulnerability awareness, login-protection review, and practical hardening recommendations.
Uptime & Critical-Page Checks
Monitoring for downtime and important website availability, followed by investigation when service is interrupted.
Performance Reviews
Periodic checks for caching, images, scripts, database overhead, hosting limits, and changes affecting page experience.
Troubleshooting & Repairs
Support for layout problems, forms, plugin conflicts, errors, failed updates, and unexpected website behaviour.
Database & Site Cleanup
Review of revisions, transients, logs, spam, and other avoidable overhead where cleanup is safe and useful.
Maintenance Reporting
A clear record of updates, checks, issues, recommendations, and items that need separate project work.
The maintenance rhythm
Instead of running every update automatically, each maintenance cycle follows a visible sequence with checks before and after changes.
Four controlled checkpoints keep maintenance clear and predictable.
Review
Check backups, pending updates, uptime alerts, security notices, and known website concerns.
Protect
Create a restore point and use staging or controlled deployment where the risk justifies it.
Maintain
Apply approved changes, test important functionality, and resolve routine technical issues.
Report
Record completed work and explain anything that needs monitoring, approval, or separate improvement work.
When something breaks
A shorter, clearer route from problem to resolution.
Unexpected issues still happen. The response should protect the current state, focus on the affected area, and document what changed.
Request website support →Assess
Confirm what is affected, when it started, and how urgent the issue is.
Protect
Verify backups and avoid uncontrolled changes that may complicate recovery.
Resolve
Fix the issue and test the pages, forms, transactions, or workflows involved.
Prevent
Document the cause and recommend changes that reduce repeat risk.
Frequently asked questions
Before choosing WordPress maintenance
Why do WordPress websites need ongoing maintenance? +
WordPress websites depend on hosting, core software, themes, plugins, integrations, and content. These components change over time. Maintenance helps manage updates, backups, compatibility, security, performance, and unexpected issues in a controlled way.
Do you update everything automatically? +
Not blindly. Automatic updates can suit some low-risk components, but important websites may require backups, staging, compatibility checks, or controlled deployment.
Can you maintain a website built by another developer? +
Yes. We first review the hosting, theme, plugins, custom code, licences, current issues, and available access. Some websites may need cleanup or repair before ongoing maintenance begins.
Is emergency work included in maintenance? +
The included allowance depends on the agreed care scope. Routine troubleshooting may be included, while major incidents, malware cleanup, custom development, or extensive recovery may require separate approval.
Do you offer WooCommerce maintenance? +
Yes. WooCommerce care can include controlled updates, checkout checks, payment and shipping review, backup planning, troubleshooting, performance oversight, and integration support.
