What Happens to Unmaintained Sites

Websites don’t stay healthy on their own — this is how they fail.

Simple Monthly Pricing

Maintenance starts at $99/month for a standard WordPress site. What moves it:

Site size & type

A brochure site vs. WooCommerce with daily orders.

Content updates

Need text, image, or product changes handled monthly? Add content hours.

Performance tier

Include ongoing speed optimization, not just monitoring.

Response time

Standard next-business-day, or priority same-day response.

No contracts — monthly, cancel anytime. Most clients stay because it works.

If the site matters to your business, yes. WordPress and its plugins update constantly; unpatched sites get hacked by bots, not hackers targeting you specifically. Maintenance is cheap insurance against expensive weeks.

Yes. I start every takeover with a full audit and backup, fix anything urgent, then move it onto the monthly routine. Sites built by vanished developers are half my maintenance clients.

Anything under about 30 minutes — a broken layout, a form issue, a plugin conflict, a text change. Bigger jobs get a fixed quote first, always with your approval before work starts.

Uptime monitoring alerts me automatically. Critical outages get handled as they happen, not when the ticket queue opens — there is no ticket queue.

No. Month to month, cancel anytime, and you keep every backup and credential — it’s your site, always.
