Website Maintenance Services
Because "Set It and Forget It"
Isn't a Strategy.

An unmaintained website is a liability β€” not an asset. Our website maintenance services keep your site secure, fast, updated, and online so you can focus on running your business instead of firefighting broken plugins.

What Happens When Website Maintenance Services Stop

Skipping website maintenance isn't a cost saving β€” it's a risk transfer. Here's what we see happen to unmaintained WordPress sites within 12 months.

πŸ”“

Security Vulnerabilities

Outdated WordPress core, themes, and plugins are the most common attack vector. Hackers automate vulnerability scanning at massive scale β€” your site is a target.

Performance Degradation

Database bloat, unoptimized images, accumulated plugin overhead, and expired caches slow sites down significantly over 12–18 months without maintenance.

β†’ Monthly performance audits and Core Web Vitals monitoring

Plugin & Theme Conflicts

WordPress updates auto-push to some sites and break functionality. Without a staging environment and compatibility checks, your booking form, checkout, or contact form breaks silently.

SEO Ranking Drops

Slow speed, broken links, crawl errors from plugin conflicts, and downtime all signal poor quality to Google. Sites without active maintenance drift down in rankings over time.

Do you maintain sites you didn't build?
Yes. We maintain WordPress sites built by any developer or agency. We do a thorough onboarding audit first β€” checking for code quality issues, plugin conflicts, security vulnerabilities, and performance problems β€” so we know what we're taking on. Occasionally we need to fix existing issues before beginning a maintenance plan.
What happens if my site goes down?
We monitor all maintained sites 24/7 via uptime monitoring. If your site goes down, we're alerted immediately and begin investigating within 30 minutes during business hours. Emergency response (2-hour SLA) is included on our Premium plan. We maintain daily backups so recovery is fast even in worst-case scenarios.
