What our WordPress maintenance covers
The jobs that keep a WordPress site safe, and the ones that get skipped until something breaks.
- Core, theme and plugin updatesTested on a copy of your site first, so an update doesn't take the live site down.
- Backups and restoresRegular backups stored away from your hosting, and a restore tested so we know they work.
- Security checksLogins, users, file changes and known plugin problems checked.
- Uptime monitoringIf the site goes down, we know about it.
- PHP and hosting checksYour server kept on a supported PHP version, so it keeps getting security fixes.
- Plugin clean-upUnused and duplicate plugins removed. Fewer plugins means fewer things to break.
- Small changesText, images and new sections, agreed in your plan.
WordPress support, with an honest second opinion
Sometimes the cheapest fix is a new site
Some WordPress sites are worth looking after. Others are so slow, so patched and so plugin-heavy that maintaining them costs more than replacing them.
We'll look at your site first and tell you which yours is. If maintenance makes sense, we agree a fixed price. If a rebuild is the better spend, we'll explain why: websites start from £499 + VAT, and our average is 5 days from kick-off to live.

WordPress maintenance FAQs
Updating WordPress, your theme and plugins, keeping backups, checking security and uptime, keeping PHP up to date and making small changes, with each update tested before it goes live.
Plugins and themes are written by different people, and an update to one can clash with another. That's why we test updates on a copy of your site first.
Tell us about it and we'll look first. We'll tell you honestly whether we can take it on, and whether maintaining it or rebuilding it is the better spend.
It depends on the size of the site and how many plugins it runs. You get a fixed price in writing after we've looked at it.
Message us or ring 01664 901025 and we'll reply within the hour in working hours. Our guide on what to do if your website is hacked covers the first steps.
Not always. If your site works and you change it often in WordPress, keep it maintained. If it's slow, fragile and full of plugins, a rebuild in fast code is often cheaper over time.
Maintenance is a job with a start and end, such as a tidy-up or a round of updates. A care plan is ongoing monthly support.
