What Maintenance Actually Covers
The work behind keeping a site secure, fast and online
Security & Patching
Core, plugin and dependency updates applied on a schedule, with off-site backups taken before each change so a bad update can be rolled back rather than debugged live.
Uptime Monitoring
Automated checks alert us when a site stops responding, so problems are found before your customers find them. You get the monitoring reports, not a summary of them.
Content & Fix Hours
Each plan includes a set number of hours per month for content edits, small features and fixes. Unused hours are not billed as work we did not do.
