Someone to look after your site.

WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates — tested in a staging environment before going live. We don’t just click “update all” and hope for the best. Every update is checked for compatibility issues, tested against your site’s functionality, and only pushed to production once we’re confident nothing breaks.

We monitor the WordPress security ecosystem and patch vulnerabilities quickly — often before you’ve even heard about them. Your site gets hardened login protection, file integrity monitoring, firewall rules, and regular malware scans. If something does get through, we handle the cleanup and remediation.

Security isn’t a one-time setup. It’s an ongoing process that needs someone paying attention. That’s what a WordPress specialist brings to the table — not just the ability to update things, but the knowledge to understand what each update changes and whether it’s safe for your specific setup.

Regular performance checks and optimisation. We monitor uptime (you’ll know within minutes if your site goes down), page speed, and Core Web Vitals. When something starts slipping — a plugin update that adds weight, a new page that’s loading slowly, a database that needs optimising — we catch it and fix it proactively.

Prevention is better than cure. Rather than waiting for Google to flag a Core Web Vitals issue or a customer to complain about slow loading, we run monthly performance audits and make incremental improvements. Database optimisation, image compression, cache tuning, query optimisation — the small things that keep your site fast over time.

If your site was built by someone else and performance isn’t where it should be, our SEO consultancy includes a technical audit that identifies exactly what’s holding things back.

Automated daily backups stored off-site — your entire site, database and files, kept in multiple locations. If something goes wrong — a bad update, a hack, an accidental deletion, a hosting failure — we can restore your site quickly. Full restores typically take under an hour.

We’ve rescued enough sites to know how valuable good backups are. We’ve also seen enough businesses lose data because their “backups” were just their hosting provider’s weekly snapshot that turned out to be corrupted. Our backup system is independent of your host, tested regularly, and retained for 30 days so we can roll back to any point.

Disaster recovery isn’t just about backups — it’s about having someone who knows your site well enough to get it back online quickly. When your developer is the same person who built the site and maintains it every month, recovery is fast because there’s no learning curve.

Need a new page? Some text updated? A banner changed for a promotion? A new form added? Maintenance plans include a monthly allowance for small content and development changes, handled by the person who built your site — not a support ticket queue in a different timezone.

This is one of the things clients value most. When you need something changed, you email or call one person. That person already knows your site, understands your brand, and can usually turn things around within a working day. No briefing documents, no three-week lead times, no surprise invoices.

For larger changes — new features, redesigns, additional landing pages, or app development — we handle those as separate projects. But the small, ongoing stuff? That’s what the maintenance plan is for. It keeps your site current and saves you from accumulating a backlog of “things we really should update.”
