WordPress Maintenance & Support Plans

Most WordPress sites that get hacked or break after an update weren't neglected on purpose, nobody was checking. A maintenance plan is that ongoing check: updates tested before they're applied, backups that actually get verified, and a monthly report instead of radio silence until something breaks.

What This Actually Covers

Ongoing plugin and core updates, backups, and monitoring on a recurring plan, so problems get caught on a schedule instead of when a client notices the site is down.

Businesses that want a WordPress site to keep running correctly without hiring in-house, or that got burned once by an update or hack that nobody caught in time.

What You Get

Real outcomes, not just a checklist.

Updates tested before they're live

Core, theme, and plugin updates run on staging first, not applied blind to production.

Verified backups

Restore points are actually tested on a schedule, not just sitting untouched.

A monthly report, not silence

You get a clear record of what was updated, fixed, and flagged each month.

Fast when you actually need it

Priority response for small fixes and content updates, without scoping a brand new project each time.

My Process

How This Actually Runs

A clear process, on your timeline.

01

Assess

I review the current state of the site to find what is actually wrong or at risk, not just what a plugin scanner flags.

02

Resolve

The specific issues found get cleaned up, patched, or optimized, not just papered over.

03

Harden

The gap that let the problem happen gets closed, so it is fixed at the cause, not just the symptom.

04

Monitor

Ongoing monitoring is set up afterward, so the next issue gets caught in hours, not discovered weeks later.

No surprise 2am outages, no forgotten updates. Just a site that's actually looked after. 🛠️

Core, theme, and plugin updates are tested before going live, never applied blind.

Verified backup schedule

Restore points are actually tested on a recurring basis.

Uptime and security monitoring

Issues are caught the same day, not weeks later.

04

Monthly reporting

A plain report covers what was updated, what was fixed, and what needs attention.

05

Priority response included

Small fixes don't require scoping a new project each time.

06

Plugin conflict checks

Updates are checked against your actual plugin stack, never assumed compatible.

07

Security patches prioritized

Known vulnerabilities are patched faster than routine updates.

08

Performance checked periodically

Site speed is reviewed on a schedule, not just when it visibly slows.

09

Documented change log

Every update and fix is logged with what changed and when.

10

Maintainable long-term

Built to keep the site healthy for years, not just patch problems as they appear.

Why Clients Choose This

A remote senior developer, done properly.

The usual worry about going remote is communication and turnaround. Both dissolve when updates come straight from the person doing the work, not relayed through an account manager.

What's left is the math, and it favors not paying agency overhead for the same work.

FAQ

Questions before we start?

What’s the difference between this and the one-time cleanup service?+

Performance & Security cleanup is a one-time fix for a site that’s already slow or compromised. A maintenance plan is the ongoing version of that, ideally so the site never gets to that point in the first place.

Do updates ever break my site?+

That’s exactly what staging testing before a live update is meant to catch. Updates go onto a staging copy first, and only go live once they’re confirmed not to break anything.

Can I cancel or change plans?+

Yes, it’s a recurring plan, not a locked-in contract, and the scope can adjust if the site’s needs change.

How quickly can you respond if something goes wrong?+

Priority response is part of the plan. Most urgent issues get looked at the same day, not queued behind other work.

Is this a one-time fix or an ongoing plan?+

Both are available, a one-time cleanup for an existing issue, or an ongoing plan so the same problem doesn't come back.

What's included in the monthly cost?+

Scheduled updates, monitoring, and a set number of small fixes or requests, laid out clearly before you sign up, not vague "support" with no boundaries.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes, plans run month to month. You're not locked into a long contract.

What if my site is already down or compromised right now?+

That's treated as urgent. Reach out directly and cleanup starts as soon as scope is confirmed, not on a standard queue.

Do you work with clients outside the US?+

Yes, I work remotely with clients across the US, UK, Europe, and beyond.
