What is a website maintenance plan?
A monthly retainer that keeps a live site healthy: applying updates safely, holding backups off-site, watching for security and uptime problems, keeping performance up, and covering small content or code changes as they come up. It replaces the scramble that happens when a site breaks and nobody has been looking after it.
What is included each month?
Updates to WordPress core, theme and plugins, applied on a staging copy and checked before they reach the live site. Daily off-site backups with restores that are actually tested. Security monitoring and malware scanning, uptime monitoring with alerts, and a monthly PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals check with fixes when a score slips. Each plan also includes a set block of time for content edits, small features and fixes; anything beyond that is quoted first. A plain-language report lands at the end of each month.
Who it is best for
Businesses that depend on their site and cannot afford it going down or getting hacked, owners who do not want to manage updates themselves, and anyone who has been burned by an unmaintained site. Plans work whether I built the site or not, after a short onboarding audit.
