Keep your WordPress website running smoothly

BASIC WEBSITE MAINTENANCE

Get essential monthly maintenance on your WordPress website to ensure it remains updated and in good working order.

Make sure your WordPress website is well-maintained.

WordPress websites require regular maintenance in order to continue functioning properly and running smoothly.

Outdated software can present serious security risks and cause features to stop working. Plus, we all need to stay on top of licenses and registrations, and make sure websites are backed up in case of emergency. Regular reporting helps us keep an eye on a website’s performance. A sudden, drastic change in performance can be a red flag, indicating that the site needs attention.

Basic Website Maintenance is one of my most popular service plans. It’s ideal for websites that only need essential maintenance, including software updates, backups, and other routine tasks, such as comment moderation or checking for broken links and images.

Basic Website Maintenance:

Keeps your website fully functional, updated, and running smoothly.
Protects your website with regular backups and security checks.
Monitors performance with routine reporting.
Includes time for troubleshooting if and when when problems arise.
Ensures that your website is administered by a pro who can provide expert insight and advice.

Best of all, you’ll have an expert on hand when you need extra work done, from design and content updates to marketing projects.
