What does website maintenance include?
- Updates: WordPress, plugins, and theme, monthly, with security fixes sooner.
- Backups: daily and off-site, and restored now and then to prove they work.
- Monitoring: uptime and security checks around the clock.
- Fixes: repairs when something breaks.
- Small edits: text, image, and price changes as requested.
- Checks: speed and contact forms, monthly.
- Report: a plain-English summary every month.
What makes maintenance good, not basic?
Updates tested on a staging copy before the live site, backups that are actually restored now and then, and alerts that reach a person instead of an inbox.
What is usually not included?
New pages, redesigns, SEO, ad spend, and paid plugin licenses, unless the plan says so. Compare what each of our monthly website maintenance packages covers.
