The technical upkeep your WordPress site needs to stay secure, stable, and online — handled for one flat monthly price.

A WordPress site needs work to stay safe, even if you never touch it. Plugins update every three to six weeks. Security holes get patched constantly. Backups have to happen daily — and have to actually work when you need them.

Most small business owners don't have time for any of that. So they don't do it. Then a plugin update breaks the site, or the site gets hacked, or a backup that was supposed to exist doesn't.

Our $45/month maintenance plan is the floor. It covers the essentials, every week, on a fixed price. If your site doesn't change much and you just want it kept safe, this is the plan.

What's Included in Your Maintenance Plan

Everything in this plan is built around one goal: keeping your site secure, functional, and recoverable without you having to manage the technical side.

No contracts. No confusing tiers. Just solid WordPress maintenance for $45/month.

Why WordPress Maintenance Matters

WordPress is the #1 attack target on the web. Thirteen thousand WordPress sites get hacked every single day. The median time between a vulnerability being disclosed publicly and being actively exploited is five hours.

Ninety-one percent of WordPress vulnerabilities live in third-party plugins. Most aren't in the original WordPress software — they're in the twenty to fifty plugins your site is probably running, written by hundreds of different developers, each updating on their own schedule.

Here's what happens to sites without active maintenance:

  • They get hacked. Ninety-six percent of WordPress operators have faced at least one security incident. Sixty-four percent have suffered a full breach.
  • They go down. The average hacked site is infected for eleven days before the owner notices.
  • They get blacklisted. When Google flags a site as dangerous, traffic drops 70 to 95 percent immediately. Full SEO recovery takes 45 to 90 days after cleanup.
  • They cost more to fix than to maintain. Emergency malware removal runs $300 to $800. A full rebuild after catastrophic compromise can start at $2,000 and exceed $10,000.

$45 a month is the cheapest insurance you can buy for a WordPress site.

What Maintenance Is — and What It Isn't

Maintenance keeps the site safe and updated. It doesn't change the site for you.

If you want us to write new content, redesign a page, tweak the layout, add a new section, or actively work on the site every month — you want WordPress Website Management, which starts at $75/month.

If you just want your site safe, backed up, updated, and monitored — and you'll handle changes yourself (or you're not making changes) — maintenance is the right plan.

How It Works

The process is simple. No drawn-out onboarding, no complicated consulting process, and no unnecessary calls.

FAQs

Common Questions About Website Maintenance

Answers to the questions small business owners ask before starting a WordPress maintenance plan.

WordPress website maintenance is the recurring work that keeps a WordPress site safe and running — updates to the WordPress core software, updates to plugins and themes, daily off-site backups, security monitoring, uptime checks. Maintenance does not include changing things on the site for you. That is management, which is a separate plan.

Daily off-site backups (kept 30 days), weekly WordPress core updates, weekly plugin updates with site checks after each one, theme updates when released, active security monitoring, 24/7 uptime monitoring, a monthly summary email, and hack cleanup if your site gets compromised while on the plan.

Maintenance keeps your site safe and updated — backups, updates, security, uptime. $45/month. Management includes everything in maintenance plus active work on the site — content edits, design tweaks, performance work, monthly check-ins. Starts at $75/month. Pick maintenance if your site is set; pick management if your site needs ongoing changes.

WordPress is the most-attacked website platform on the internet — about 13,000 WordPress sites get hacked every single day. Most attacks come through outdated plugins (91% of vulnerabilities are in third-party plugins). Without active updates and monitoring, a WordPress site is a target. Maintenance is the layer that keeps it safe.

We clean it. Included in your $45/month. No emergency fees, no separate cleanup charge, no "that's outside scope." We restore from backup, identify the vulnerability, patch it, and harden the site so the same attack does not work again.

No. We perform updates without taking the site offline. Updates that risk breaking something (major plugin or theme version jumps) get tested in a staging environment first.

Yes. The work is well-documented and you can absolutely do it. The honest question is whether you will consistently set aside two to four hours a month, every month, to do it right. Most small business owners do not, which is why their sites end up with thirty pending updates and no recent backup when something breaks.

No. We don't host. You keep your hosting where it is. If your hosting is the problem (slow, unreliable, security-thin), we'll let you know and recommend better options.

Yes. Every plan is month-to-month, no contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel whenever, no questions.
