Website & WordPress Maintenance

Content updates are often a key piece in most business marketing plans, and they can be a time consuming and, for some, an overly technical process. We can make your life easier by updating your content for you!

Call or email your content change request, and we'll take care of the rest. For occasional content updates, we invoice hourly in fifteen minute increments. No contract is required, and you can use this service as little or as often as needed.

If you prefer a more hands-on approach, we always provide direct client access to manage and update content. You can even create additional editor level logins if you want to have several people in-house with access to the website.

NOTE: if you want to fully manage your website yourself, you will need to make sure that you keep the WordPress core, theme, and all installed plugins relatively up-to-date. We recommend logging in at least once every couple of months to handle any available updates.

WordPress Maintenance Plans

If you have a WordPress website and want to make sure the software is always kept up to date, we can be your set-it-and-forget-it by opting in to our maintenance plan. Or, if your website needs regular content updates, we offer levels of the monthly maintenance plan that will let you receive a significant discount on our standard hourly rate.

There are two "flavors" of our maintenance plan... one (Solo) is intended to just cover software updates (the WordPress core, themes, plugins, etc.) and the other (Duet, Trio, Quartet, or Orchestra) includes those software updates offered in the Solo plan, and adds a discount on requested content updates each month.

WordPress Software Updates

If you have a WordPress website, whether or not it was built by us, we can keep your core software and all installed plugins up to date for you. Keeping your software up to date on a monthly basis is important in preventing hackers from defacing content or injecting malware.

What's the worst that could happen if you don't keep your website's software updated?

Best Case Scenario...

Website slows down over time as database accumulates unnecessary information (page and post revisions, etc.)
Errors start to appear (things stop working) as the outdated software no longer works correctly with the server's software
Risk of being hacked grows bigger and bigger as weaknesses in the older software are better known by hackers

Worst Case Scenario...

Hackers gain access to your compromised website and deface your page content with images or links or worse
Malware is injected into your website, infecting your visitor's computers
Google adds your domain name to their blacklist, preventing the website from displaying (visitors instead get a warning about the site being a danger to them)

Can't it just be set to update automatically?

There are many automated maintenance tools, and WordPress itself does allow for some automated settings for updates. However, it's best if the website is actually viewed by a human being during and after the update process, to make sure any software conflicts or issues are caught sooner rather than later.

If there ARE conflicts or errors, and you're on our plan, there's no additional cost for us to troubleshoot and get your site back up and running. We're also able to catch potential future issues like discovering that a plugin has been removed from the WordPress repository and is no longer being maintained by it's developer. This can be a huge security risk for a website.

We'll worry about your website so you don't have to.
