WordPress Maintenance & Support

Why WordPress Maintenance Matters

WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet. That popularity makes it a target. Hackers actively scan for outdated WordPress installations, vulnerable plugins, and weak security configurations. If your site isn't regularly maintained, it's only a matter of time before something goes wrong.

Security vulnerabilities are discovered in WordPress core, plugins, and themes on a weekly basis. Each update that goes unapplied is an open door. And it's not just security. Outdated plugins can conflict with each other, break your site's functionality, slow down page load times, and even cause your site to display errors to visitors. One bad plugin update on an unmaintained site can take your entire business offline.

We've seen it happen hundreds of times. A business owner skips updates for a few months, then one day their site is redirecting visitors to a spam page, or their contact form stops working, or Google flags their site as unsafe. By that point, the damage is done. Customers have already left, and the fix is more expensive than prevention would have been.

What Happens When You Neglect Your WordPress Site

An unmaintained WordPress site is a ticking time bomb. Outdated plugins accumulate known vulnerabilities that automated bots actively exploit. Your site could be injected with malware that redirects visitors, steals customer data, or sends spam emails from your domain. Google may blacklist your site entirely, destroying your search rankings overnight.

Beyond security, performance degrades over time. Database tables bloat, unused post revisions pile up, and outdated code conflicts with newer PHP versions. Your site gets slower, your bounce rate climbs, and your conversions drop. By the time you notice something is wrong, you've already lost business.

The good news? All of this is preventable. A consistent maintenance routine keeps your site secure, fast, and working exactly the way it should. That's what we do.

Maintenance Plans That Fit Your Budget

We offer three straightforward maintenance tiers designed for different needs. Our Starter plan at $50/month covers the essentials: core updates, plugin and theme updates, weekly backups, and basic security scanning. It's ideal for simple sites that need to stay current and protected.

Our Standard plan at $100/month adds uptime monitoring, performance optimization, priority support, and monthly reporting. For businesses that depend on their website for leads and sales, this is where most clients land. The Premium plan at $150/month includes everything in Standard plus daily backups, advanced security hardening, malware removal, and dedicated support with faster response times.

Every plan is month-to-month with no contracts. View our full pricing breakdown to compare what's included at each level.
