- Active security and monitoring
- Routine updates handled for you

What website maintenance normally covers
Whoever does the work, a well-kept business website needs the same basics.
WordPress, themes and plugins need regular updates to fix bugs and security holes.
Firewalls, monitoring and malware cleanup if something goes wrong.
A way to restore the site if an update or an attack breaks it.
A reliable server and fast page loads, especially on mobile.
New phone numbers, hours, photos, services and offers.
Making sure the domain, hosting and security certificates do not lapse.
Signs your website needs maintenance
If any of these sound familiar, your site is probably overdue for attention:
- The site loads slowly, especially on a phone
- Your phone number, hours or services are out of date
- You see browser warnings about security or an expired certificate
- You are afraid to touch anything in case it breaks
- The person who built it is hard to reach, or no longer around
- You are not sure who is hosting it or when it renews
