Security Patching
WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates applied and tested on a regular schedule. We don’t just click "update all" — we test in staging, verify functionality, and deploy with a rollback plan.
WordPress Support & Maintenance
WordPress Support That Goes Beyond Keeping the Lights On.
Security patching, plugin maintenance, theme customization, WooCommerce support, and performance optimization — handled by a senior developer who knows WordPress inside and out. Retainer or project-based.

Emergency Break-Fix
White screen of death, plugin conflicts, hacked site recovery, broken updates — we diagnose and fix fast. Available to retainer and ad hoc clients.
Accessibility Remediation
WCAG 2.1 AA audits and code-level fixes within your WordPress theme and plugins. Semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, and screen reader testing — no overlay widgets.
Why WordPress maintenance matters more than most people think.
The security target
WordPress is the most attacked CMS on the internet.
WordPress powers 43% of the web, which makes it the biggest target for automated attacks. Outdated plugins, weak admin credentials, and unpatched core vulnerabilities are the most common entry points. A properly maintained WordPress site is secure — but "properly maintained" means regular updates, security monitoring, and someone who knows what they’re looking at when something looks wrong. That’s what we provide.
The plugin problem
Too many plugins, not enough oversight.
Most WordPress sites accumulate plugins over time — each one added to solve a specific problem. The result is a stack of dependencies, some maintained, some abandoned, some conflicting with each other. A plugin audit is one of the first things we do on every new engagement: identifying what’s essential, what’s redundant, what’s a security risk, and what can be replaced with cleaner custom code.
Performance and SEO See our SEO services →
Performance debt is SEO debt.
Slow WordPress sites don’t rank as well as fast ones — and WordPress sites get slow gradually, as plugins, unoptimized images, and database bloat accumulate. Core Web Vitals are now a ranking factor, and a WordPress site that scored well two years ago may be failing today. We monitor and optimize performance as part of ongoing maintenance, not as a separate engagement.
How we work
Getting started with WordPress support.
1
Free WordPress Audit
We review your WordPress site — core version, plugin inventory, theme health, security vulnerabilities, performance baseline, and hosting environment. You get a clear report of what needs attention now and what the ongoing maintenance load looks like.
2
Engagement Setup
We define the scope — retainer hours and priorities for ongoing clients, or project scope and timeline for one-off work. Retainer clients get a dedicated Slack channel, defined response times, and a monthly report.
3
Proactive Maintenance
Security updates applied as released, plugin updates tested and deployed, performance monitored, and a backlog of improvements worked through systematically. We treat your WordPress site as an asset to be improved, not just kept alive.
4
Monthly Reporting
A monthly summary of work completed, updates applied, site health metrics, and recommendations for the coming month. Migration planning included when relevant.
