- Website Support & Maintenance
Website maintenance and support services
If you are standing still, you are going backwards. We are well past the set-and-forget outlook on websites.
Your website is not a one off project. It should be continuously evolving to support your business goals.
WordPress websites rely on regular updates, monitoring, and technical upkeep, and without it, things can break, slow down, or become vulnerable.
My website maintenance and support service gives you peace of mind that your site is being looked after properly, so you can focus on running your business.
Website Maintenance: What's included?
1. WordPress Core, Theme & Plugin Updates
Keeping WordPress and all plugins up to date is essential for security and performance. Updates are carried out safely and checked to ensure nothing breaks after installation.
2. Website Backups
Regular backups mean your website can be restored quickly if something goes wrong. No stress, no lost content.
3. Security Monitoring
Your site is monitored for suspicious activity, malware, and vulnerabilities. Preventative action is always better than a costly fix after the fact.
4. Ongoing Technical Support
Need help with small changes or technical issues?
Maintenance clients get access to ongoing support without having to find a developer every time something needs adjusting.
Support can include:
Minor content updates
Plugin configuration issues
Error fixes
Layout problems after updates
Advice on best practices and improvements
You always know who to contact, and you are not tied into confusing support systems or ticket portals.
5. Website Hosting [Optional]
Alongside website maintenance and support, I also offer optional WordPress website hosting. This is ideal if you want everything handled in one place without juggling multiple providers.
Your website is hosted on fast, reliable UK based servers, helping to improve loading times, reliability, and search engine performance for UK audiences. Local hosting also means lower latency and better overall user experience for your visitors.

Why Website Maintenance matters
An unmanaged WordPress website is one update away from problems. Outdated plugins are a common security risk, and broken features can quietly harm your credibility and search engine visibility.
Regular maintenance helps:
- Protect your website from security threats
- Prevent downtime and broken pages
- Maintain fast loading times
- Extend the lifespan of your website
- Protect your investment

Your Questions Answered
I operate on a no question is too silly basis, so if you have a query about whether your business can benefit from my website design services please get in touch with me today for free no-obligatory advice.
Can you look after my website after launch?
Yes, I currently provide this support for virtually all of my clients as it allows them to focus on other areas of their business while their website is professionally looked after.
This will include support for adding new content, website technical updates and troubleshooting.
Do I need to have website hosting for my website?
Yes, every WordPress website requires hosting.
A simple way to think about it is that hosting is the land, and your website is the house. Without land, the house has nowhere to sit and cannot exist.
Do you provide website hosting services?
Yes, I use a reputable UK based supplier with high uptime rates and you have the option of using a more affordable shared hosting server or a PCI-DSS compliant higher performance server.
How much does website maintenance cost?
This will depend on exactly what support you need from me but typically this starts from £40.00 per month
Why is website maintenance important?
Regular maintenance helps safeguard your website against security vulnerabilities, such as malware, hacking attempts, and data breaches. By keeping software, plugins, and themes up to date, you minimize the risk of security breaches and ensure the protection of sensitive user data.
Do I have to take out a plan if I purchase a website from you?
Website maintenance is a completely optional service. However, it is strongly recommended as it’s a more cost effective option should something go wrong with your website.
Is there a minimum term for website maintenance?
No, you won’t be locked into a contract for website maintenance services.
If you choose to move ahead with website hosting from me- there is a minimum term of 12 months as this is purchased annually to keep costs down.
