# Website Maintenance

Website care for businesses that do not want surprises. Daily backups, updates, security checks, and human oversight via ManagedWP - so routine work gets done and real problems get a person, not only an automated email.

How I work with you

You depend on the site but do not have time to babysit plugins. I keep the boring essentials handled and talk to you when something needs a decision. Experience helps here too: knowing which updates are risky, when to use staging, and when a "small" warning is actually urgent.

## Who it's for

Business owners and teams who rely on WordPress and want peace of mind - without hiring a full-time developer for day-to-day care.

## Problems I solve

-   →Updates and backups that keep getting postponed
-   →No plan for when the site goes down
-   →Security issues discovered too late
-   →No one keeping an eye on forms, SSL, or uptime
-   →Fear of clicking "update" on a live shop
-   →Agencies that vanish after the project invoice

## What you get

-   ✓Daily backups
-   ✓Plugin and theme updates handled with care
-   ✓Security checks and firewall protection
-   ✓Uptime monitoring with human oversight
-   ✓Clear escalation when project work is needed

## Maintenance is about sleep, not dashboards

If you are reading this, you probably want fewer "is the site okay?" moments. Maintenance is the quiet system underneath: backups, updates, monitoring, and someone who notices when something looks wrong.

Plans and signup live on the [maintenance page](/maintenance/). For deeper WordPress work beyond care plans, see [WordPress & WooCommerce](/services/wordpress-woocommerce/). If you already suspect a compromise, go to [security & cleanup](/services/security-cleanup/).

## Human oversight beats alert fatigue

Automated emails are easy to ignore. I treat uptime and security signals as work: check, decide, fix or escalate. That is the difference between "we have monitoring" and "someone is actually watching."

## How I work

1.  1
    
    ### Onboard and baseline
    
    Backups, security scan, update status, and uptime monitoring - so we know the starting point before touching anything.
    
2.  2
    
    ### Update with care
    
    Plugin and theme updates on a schedule, with staging checks when a site is business-critical.
    
3.  3
    
    ### Watch and respond
    
    Uptime alerts, security events, and broken forms get human attention - not just an automated email you ignore.
    
4.  4
    
    ### Report and advise
    
    You hear from me when something needs a decision. Small fixes are included; bigger projects are quoted separately.

## Common questions

What is included versus project work?+

Maintenance covers updates, backups, monitoring, and minor fixes. New features, redesigns, and major troubleshooting are quoted as separate projects.

Do you maintain non-WordPress sites?+

The maintenance plans are built for WordPress. Static or hybrid sites I built can be covered - ask me and we will match the right plan.

What if an update breaks something?+

Backups are daily. If an update causes trouble, we roll back and fix properly - that is the point of maintenance.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. Monthly plans are flexible. I would rather you stay because the service is useful, not because of a contract trap.

Will you explain issues in plain language?+

Yes. When something needs your decision, you get a clear recommendation - not a raw server log dump.
