SET-AND-FORGET IS HOW SITES GET HACKED
Most small business websites are launched, admired for a week, and then left alone for years. Meanwhile the software underneath — WordPress core, themes, plugins, PHP — keeps ageing. Unpatched sites are the single most common way business websites get compromised, blacklisted by Google, or simply fall over.
Our maintenance plans give your website the same proactive care we apply to business IT: scheduled updates with pre-update backups, security patching, uptime monitoring, malware scanning, and a local team to call when you want something changed. You focus on your business; we keep the site healthy.
Updates & Patching
CMS, theme, and plugin updates applied on schedule, with backups taken first and the site tested after.
Monitoring & Backups
Uptime monitoring, daily backups, and malware scanning — problems get caught and fixed before your customers see them.
Content Changes
Need a price updated, a staff photo swapped, or a new page added? Send it through and it's done — no wrestling with the site editor.
Performance & SEO Health
Regular checks on page speed, broken links, and search visibility so the site keeps earning its keep.
CHEAPER THAN THE EMERGENCY
We regularly get called after a site has already been hacked or gone dark — and we fix those too — but recovery always costs more than prevention: emergency work, lost enquiries, and sometimes a Google blacklisting that takes weeks to clear. A modest monthly plan, paired with solid hosting, means that call never has to happen. Read what recovery involves when a site goes down — then let's make sure yours doesn't.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does website maintenance include?
Core plans cover software and plugin updates, security patching, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and malware scanning. Higher tiers add content changes, performance tuning, and SEO health checks. We tailor the plan to your site and platform.
Why does my WordPress site need maintenance?
WordPress core, themes, and plugins release security fixes constantly — unpatched sites are the number one way small business websites get hacked. Maintenance keeps you patched, backed up, and monitored so problems are caught before customers notice.
Can you maintain a website you didn’t build?
Yes. We start with a site audit to understand how it was built and flag any existing issues, then take over updates, backups, and monitoring. Most of the sites we look after were built by someone else.
What if my website breaks after an update?
We take a backup before every update and test the site afterwards. If an update causes a problem, we roll back and resolve it — that’s the point of having a professional handle it rather than auto-updates running unattended.
Do I need a maintenance plan if my site rarely changes?
Static content doesn’t mean static software. Even a site you never edit still needs security patches, SSL renewals, backups, and monitoring. A small monthly plan is far cheaper than an emergency rebuild after a hack.
