WordPress maintenance and support
WordPress maintenance keeps your site fast, secure, and working while you get on with your business. Sites are not finished at launch — plugins update, security threats evolve, and small issues become big ones if left. I provide senior, direct maintenance and support so problems are caught early or prevented, not discovered when something breaks.
What is included
Maintenance plans can cover managed core, theme, and plugin updates (tested, not blindly applied), security monitoring and hardening, reliable backups, uptime and performance monitoring, and a set allowance of fixes and small changes. You deal with the same senior developer each time, who already knows your site — not a rotating support queue.
Security and peace of mind
Most hacks exploit out-of-date software, weak credentials, or unmonitored sites. Keeping everything current, hardened, and watched dramatically reduces the risk, and reliable backups mean a fast recovery if anything does go wrong. If the worst happens, I also handle malware removal and emergency support.
Who it is for
Maintenance suits any business that depends on its site and would rather not manage updates and security in-house — and agencies who want a dependable partner to keep client sites healthy. It pairs naturally with ongoing performance care. I can also maintain a site I did not build, after a short audit. Talk to me about a plan, or see the case studies.
The same person, every time
With a maintenance plan you deal with the same senior developer who already knows your site, not a rotating support queue starting from scratch each time. That continuity means faster fixes, fewer repeated explanations, and someone who notices when something is drifting before it becomes a problem.
Why ongoing care matters
A WordPress site is software, and software left untouched drifts toward trouble — outdated plugins, expired certificates, creeping slowness, and security holes that only become visible when they are exploited. Regular, attentive maintenance turns that from a gamble into a non-event: updates are tested and applied, backups are verified, performance is watched, and small issues are handled before they become outages. It is the difference between a site you have to worry about and one you can forget about, knowing someone senior has an eye on it. Ask me about a plan that fits how much hands-on cover your site needs.
What it includes
A maintenance plan can include:
- Tested core, theme, and plugin updates
- Security monitoring and hardening
- Reliable, verified backups
- Uptime and performance monitoring
- A set allowance of fixes and small changes
- Priority emergency response
- Malware removal and recovery if needed
- A single senior contact who knows your site
Set it, and stop worrying about it
For most businesses the real value of WordPress maintenance is not any single task — it is no longer having to think about the site’s health at all. Updates happen on schedule and are tested first. Backups exist and are verified. Security is watched. Performance does not quietly degrade. And when you do need a change or hit a problem, there is one senior person who already knows your site and can act quickly. That peace of mind, and the avoided cost of the emergencies that maintenance prevents, is what makes a plan worth it. Ask me about a plan that matches how much cover your site needs, or see the case studies.

Frequently asked questions
What does a maintenance retainer include?
Updates, security monitoring, backups, fixes, and continued performance care — scoped to your site.
Do you offer emergency fixes?
Yes. Retainer clients get priority; one-off urgent fixes are also possible.
Will you keep my site secure?
Yes — managed updates, hardening, monitoring, and reliable backups reduce the risk of compromise.
Can you maintain a site you did not build?
Yes, after a short audit to understand the setup.
How are updates handled?
Tested before applying, not blindly — so an update never quietly breaks the site.
What if my site gets hacked?
I also handle malware removal and full recovery, then harden against a repeat.
