WordPress maintenance plans and builds that hold up

We build WordPress sites, keep them updated, and fix them when a plugin update goes sideways.

WordPress that stays working

WordPress runs a huge share of the small-business web, and it mostly earns it. But it isn’t a build-and-forget platform: core, themes, and plugins all update on their own schedules, and an update nobody was watching is how a working site turns into a white screen on a Saturday.

We’ve built WordPress sites for restaurants, healthcare practices, schools, artists, skilled trades, and finance companies, and we maintain sites we didn’t build. Either way the deal is the same: updates get watched daily, changes get tested before they touch the live site, and when something breaks, you email the person who can fix it.

What’s included

Full site builds

Custom themes and rebuilds, designed for the business instead of bent around a template.

WooCommerce stores

Online ordering and storefronts, including per-pound pricing, delivery tiers, and deposit payments.

Maintenance plans

Core, theme, and plugin updates watched daily and applied deliberately, with security patches first in line.

Custom plugins

We build plugins from scratch and extend existing ones, so the site does what the business needs instead of what a marketplace happened to sell.

Hardening

Our own hooks, filters, and functions lock down what WordPress exposes by default, tightened per site rather than bolted on by a security plugin.

Broken-site fixes

When an update or plugin conflict takes a site down, we isolate the cause on a staging copy and fix it.

Speed work

Lighthouse-based audits with prioritized fixes, run with our in-house analyzer.

Hosting under the same roof

Most maintained sites run on servers we operate, so the fix and the server are never two vendors pointing at each other.

Questions owners ask

Can you take over a site someone else built?

Yes. Most of the WordPress sites we maintain started somewhere else. We audit what’s installed, remove what’s abandoned, and take it from there.

A plugin update broke my site. Can you fix it?

Yes. We reproduce the break on a staging copy, isolate which plugin or theme caused it, and either roll it back or replace it. The live site doesn’t become the test bench.

Do you work with WooCommerce?

Yes, including the awkward parts: per-pound pricing, tiered delivery zones, and deposit payments are all things we’ve shipped for real stores.

What does a maintenance plan cost?

It depends on the site and how much runs on it, so we don’t publish a one-size number. Tell us what you have and you’ll get a real quote.
