WordPress Maintenance & Care Plans
Most hacked WordPress sites I clean weren't attacked because they were important — they were attacked because nobody was updating them. A care plan keeps your site updated, backed up, monitored and fast, every month, so problems get caught before they cost you.
Quick answer
WordPress maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps a site secure and working: updating WordPress core, plugins and themes safely, taking off-site backups, monitoring for malware and downtime, checking speed and fixing issues. A care plan bundles that into a predictable monthly service.
SECURE BY DEFAULT
Built by someone who fixes hacked sites for a living
Because I do malware removal, maintenance here is built around preventing the problems I see every week: abandoned plugins, missed updates, weak admin accounts and no working backups. If something does slip through, cleanup is handled by the same person who has been watching the site.
Already have a site? Get a WordPress security audit before building on it.
A GOOD FIT FOR
- Business sites with nobody in charge of updates
- Owners who have been hacked before
- WooCommerce stores where downtime costs sales
- Sites built by a developer who is no longer around
WHAT'S INCLUDED
What's included in WordPress Maintenance & Care Plans
HOW IT WORKS
From first call to launch
01
Onboarding audit
I check the site's security, plugins, backups and speed, and fix anything urgent before the plan starts.
02
Monthly care
Updates, backups, scans and monitoring run on a schedule, with updates tested before they go live.
03
Monthly report
A short plain-English summary of what was updated, checked and fixed.
04
Fast help
When something breaks or looks wrong, you have someone who already knows your site.
05
Launch, handover and care
I launch with backups, monitoring and security in place, walk you through managing the site yourself, and stay available for updates and support so it doesn't quietly fall behind.
FAQ
WordPress Maintenance & Care Plans FAQs
Why do WordPress sites need ongoing maintenance?
WordPress, plugins and themes release updates constantly, many of them security fixes. Sites that fall behind on updates are the easiest targets for automated attacks.
Can't I just turn on automatic updates?
Auto-updates help, but they can break a site without anyone noticing, and they don't cover backups, malware scanning or downtime. A care plan tests updates and watches the whole site.
Do you maintain sites you didn't build?
Yes. Every new site starts with an onboarding audit, and any existing malware or security issues are cleaned up first.
