A site that stays working, not just one that launches
Plugin updates, core updates, security monitoring, and someone who actually knows why the site was built the way it was — not a support inbox that's never seen your code.
Maintenance that catches problems before they're outages
Most "maintenance plans" are a renewal invoice and nothing else. This one is a person actually looking at your site.
Core, theme & plugin updates
Tested before they go live, not auto-applied and hoped for — a bad plugin update has broken more sites than it's fixed.
Security monitoring
Malware scanning, login protection and firewall rules kept current, so a WordPress vulnerability doesn't become your problem.
Backups & recovery
Regular, verified backups — not just a checkbox in a settings page nobody's actually tested restoring from.
Performance checks
Regular speed and uptime checks, so a slow site gets caught before it costs you traffic.
A monthly rhythm, not a fire drill
Audit
I start with a full health check — updates outstanding, security gaps, backup status — before anything else.
Monthly maintenance
Updates tested before going live. Security and backups checked every month, not just when something breaks.
Direct line, not a ticket
Something looks wrong? You email me directly. No first-line support reading from a script.
Plain-English reporting
A short summary each month — what changed, what's outstanding, what's monitored.
FAQ
What's actually included in ongoing maintenance?
Core, theme, and plugin updates tested before they go live, security monitoring, backups, and uptime checks — the groundwork that prevents most emergencies.
What happens if something breaks between scheduled check-ins?
You reach me directly, not a support ticket queue — that's the actual point of a maintenance plan with one person behind it.
Is this only for sites you originally built, or can you maintain existing sites too?
Existing sites too, after an initial review — some inherited builds need a bit of cleanup first before ongoing maintenance actually protects them properly.
Tell me what's broken, or what you're starting.
One email or a fifteen-minute call. I read and reply to every one myself.
