Where we start
Get support for the website you have
You may be struggling to reach your current provider, falling behind on updates or spending too much time making website changes yourself.
We start by understanding your website and what you need from it. We assess its condition, identify any initial work and explain how we can support it moving forward.
A new website isn't automatically the first step.
If your existing site can continue to serve your business, we'll discuss how to maintain and improve it.
What's covered
Website maintenance & support services
Your care agreement defines the services, update schedules and support included.
Managed Website Hosting
Bring hosting and website maintenance together with one team responsible for the agreed setup and support.
If you're moving from another provider, we review the migration requirements and coordinate the transition.
WordPress & Plugin Updates
Keep the software behind your website maintained, with attention to compatibility and key website functions.
Regular updates help address known vulnerabilities and reduce problems caused by outdated software.
Security Monitoring & Malware Support
Security monitoring and protective measures help reduce risk. Ongoing care includes malware removal, with any existing infection or security issue assessed before service begins.
Website Backups
Maintain a recovery option if something goes wrong. We confirm backup frequency, storage and recovery arrangements as part of your care agreement.
SSL Certificate Support
An SSL certificate supports an encrypted connection between your website and its visitors. We manage the certificate included in your hosting arrangement.
Performance Maintenance
Review the performance features appropriate to your website, including caching and optimization tools.
Where slow performance requires larger development changes, we explain the work and scope it separately.
Website Content Updates
Keep your pages current with help updating text, replacing images and publishing material you supply.
Technical Support
Have a clear point of contact for website questions and issues. Our team explains what needs attention and whether the work falls within your agreement.
Why maintenance matters
Most WordPress attacks never target you personally
With over a billion live websites in the world, you might assume the odds of someone attacking yours are slim. But most WordPress attacks aren't a person choosing your business — they're bots probing every site they can reach, looking for an outdated plugin or a known vulnerability to walk through.
That's why updates, monitoring and backups matter more than the size of your business. An unpatched site is found automatically, without anyone deciding to come after you.
Don't worry — we have you covered.
Included with your care plan
Our custom WordPress dashboard
Your care plan details, quick links to our client support and accounting portals, and a task request form — all inside the WordPress dashboard you already log into. No separate system to learn, and no wondering what your plan covers.
Content support
Keep your website content current
Your services, team and project experience change over time. Your website should reflect the business customers will work with today.
Send us your content and we can help.
- Updating your About page and existing service information
- Replacing images on existing pages
- Adding or updating team details
- Changing contact information and business hours
- Uploading and formatting completed blog posts
Routine content updates use text and images you provide. Content writing, new page designs and custom functionality are scoped separately.
Switching providers

Review the Existing Setup
We review your hosting, theme, plugins and available access to understand how the website works and identify issues that need attention.
Explain the Requirements
We outline any initial fixes, licence requirements or migration work, along with the recommended maintenance scope.
Coordinate the Transition
Once the arrangements are agreed, we coordinate access and any hosting move, check key website functions and establish ongoing care.
Beyond upkeep
When your website needs more than maintenance
Maintenance keeps your website supported. Your business may also need clearer service information, a better customer experience or stronger search visibility.
We can help you understand which improvements would address the problem.
Website Improvements & Redesign
If your website is difficult to use, hard to update or no longer reflects your business, we can assess whether focused improvements or a redesign would be appropriate.
Our website design work brings together your services, project experience and clear inquiry options.
SEO & Local Search
If customers aren't finding your services, an ongoing SEO campaign can address search visibility through content, website optimization and local search work.
We develop campaigns around the services you offer, the areas you serve and the work you want to attract.
AI Search Optimization
Select advanced SEO campaigns include work focused on how your business and expertise are represented in AI-powered search.
AI search optimization is part of the broader campaign and is not offered as a standalone maintenance feature.
