Ask about maintenance What’s included

Ongoing care

Websites need looking after,
just like any other asset.

WordPress, themes and plugins release updates regularly to fix bugs, add features and close security holes. Left alone, a website gradually becomes slower, less secure and more likely to break when an update is finally applied.

Our website maintenance keeps everything current and checked, and gives you a team to call when you need a change or something isn’t working.

What’s included

Website maintenance services.

We agree what you would like us to maintain and provide a monthly quote for that scope. Your proposal sets out the work included and the monthly cost.

  1. Core and plugin updates

    WordPress, theme and plugin updates applied carefully and checked afterwards, so updates don’t break your site.

  4. Backups

    Regular backups of your website files and database, so it can be restored if something goes wrong.

  5. Bug fixes

    Fixing errors, broken layouts and features that stop working.

  6. Content updates

    Updating text, images, pages and products when you don’t have the time to do it yourself.

Maintenance vs hosting

Hosting keeps your site online.
Maintenance keeps it healthy.

Hosting is the server your website runs on. Maintenance is the ongoing work on the website itself. We can provide both, or maintain a website hosted elsewhere. Find out more about our website hosting.

Warning signs

Signs your website needs maintenance.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to get your website checked.

  • Update notices piling up in WordPress
  • Pages loading slowly
  • Broken links or layouts
  • Forms not sending enquiries
  • Security warnings in the browser
  • Plugins no longer supported
  • Nobody sure who manages the site
  • Content that’s out of date

Changes made easy

A team to call when you need something done.

New pages, updated prices, a new form or a refreshed banner: if changes like these are part of your maintenance, send us the request and we’ll take care of it. Because we keep your website maintained, we already know how it’s built.

We can also look after websites built by other developers. If your current developer has moved on, we can review your website and take over its care.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about website maintenance.

Can you maintain a website you didn’t build?

Yes. We’ll review the website first to understand how it’s built and identify anything that needs fixing, then take over its maintenance.

Is maintenance only for WordPress websites?

No. WordPress is our specialty, but we can also help with Shopify stores and custom-built websites. Get in touch to discuss your website.

What happens if an update breaks something?

We back up your website before updating and check it afterwards. If something goes wrong, we fix it or roll back to the previous version.

Do I need maintenance if my website is hosted with you?

Hosting keeps your website online, but it doesn’t update the website itself. Maintenance covers the software updates, security and fixes. Many clients choose both.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Our support comes with no lock-in contract.

Can maintenance include SEO?

Maintenance keeps the technical foundations healthy. For ongoing improvements to your search visibility, see our SEO services.
