Core, theme & plugin updates
Applied on a schedule and checked afterwards, not clicked blindly.
Ongoing care that keeps your website updated, backed up, monitored and fixed — before a small problem becomes a weekend emergency.
A WordPress site is not a finished product; it is software that needs updating. Skipped updates are the single most common cause of hacked sites, and the second most common is having no working backup when something goes wrong.
Maintenance means updates tested before they are applied, backups verified rather than assumed, uptime monitored, and a person who responds when you send a message. It is unglamorous work that prevents expensive weeks.
Ongoing website care covering updates, backups, security checks, fixes and improvements.
Scope adapts to the project, but these six areas are covered in every maintenance & security engagement.
