Website Maintenance

Updates for the platform, the theme and the plugins, backups you can rely on, uptime and performance monitoring, security patching, and fixing whatever breaks. The point is that nothing about running a site should need your attention unless you want it to.

On a schedule we agree upon. Monthly is the usual minimum that keeps a site current, and more frequent is available if you publish often. Between the scheduled visits, monitoring means a problem is usually reported before you notice it yourself.

You tell me, or the monitor tells me, and I look at it straight away.

Yes. I start with a short review of the site. How it was built, what technologies it uses, and which platform is used for hosting. Then we can decide together what to fix now and what to leave alone.

No. Anything that changes what visitors see is approved by you first, in writing.

It depends on the size and complexity of the site, and I quote a fixed monthly figure rather than billing by the hour, so you know the cost before anything happens. Work that falls outside the plan is flagged and priced separately.
