WordPress Website Management, Made Simple

Our clients often tell us they don’t have the time or interest to maintain their WordPress website.

We understand.

WordPress is a great platform, but it’s not “set it and forget it.”

Without regular maintenance, your website could experience plugins that no longer work. Your website may incur long page-load times, which can frustrate visitors. Outdated plugins and software pose a threat to the security of your website.

WordPress websites need regular maintenance.

Maintenance Basics & Solutions

Website maintenance involves daily, weekly, monthly and ongoing tasks. Here are the primary items you need to be concerned about.

Database and file backups. Daily offsite back-ups of your website are absolutely critical in order to preserve site information in the event of a website crash or hack. While your hosting company may create backups for you, you should also create backups in an independent location.
WordPress core updates. WordPress frequently issues software updates to improve performance and prevent security vulnerabilities. These updates need to be promptly installed to protect your website.
Plugin updates. You need to install plugin updates as soon as they are released. Doing so will increase functionality and the security of your website. If you add a new plugin, only install plugins listed by WordPress.
Security monitoring. A good security plugin will alert you to potential problems. You will want to respond quickly to any alert.

There are a few approaches to site maintenance.

Do it yourself. Log into your WordPress dashboard on a weekly basis to check for required updates. Set up an offsite backup process. Monitor each page of your site to spot any problems.
Hire a vendor to do it for you. We can suggest WordPress maintenance agencies for you to work with. Typically, vendors don’t monitor your website for search engine problems and they don’t provide support for your Google My Business listing. You will need to monitor Google Search Console for issues and manage your Google My Business listing to make changes and additions.
Hire us to do it for you. Many of our clients don’t have the administrative staff or the inclination to deal with these tasks. For those clients, we offer a comprehensive Website Care Plan.

Our care plan also includes an overview of how your website is performing. We check to be sure Google Analytics is enabled and functioning.

We can provide information that permits you to understand how your audience is connecting to your content.

Because our program is personal and “high touch,” we limit the number of clients we agree to service.

The cost of our plan is $400 per month. You would still be responsible for annual hosting charges, domain registration renewal fees, and premium plugin renewal fees.

If you decide to implement recommendations based on the web analytics data we provide, we can assist you for an additional fee, depending on the scope of the project.
