WordPress core, theme and plugin updates tested before they go live, with a rollback plan if something doesn't behave.
Maintenance & Support Your site, looked after.
Your site, looked after.
Every month.
Updates, backups, fixes, content changes and on-page SEO — handled by a senior developer who knows your codebase, so you can focus on your business.
Maintenance
Less worry, fewer surprises
A WordPress site is never really finished: core, themes and plugins change constantly, content needs updating and small issues grow if nobody watches them. Ongoing maintenance keeps your site secure, fast and up to date — and gives you a developer to call when you need something done.
A good fit if you
- Don't have a developer on your team, or yours is too busy
- Postpone updates because you're afraid something will break
- Need small changes and content updates done quickly and correctly
- Want someone to apply your SEO team's recommendations on the site
- Are an agency that needs reliable support for your clients' sites

Frequently asked questions
Can you maintain a site you didn't build?
Yes. Onboarding starts with a review of your site so I understand how it's built, what's customized and where the risks are before making any change.
What if an update breaks something?
Updates are tested before going live, and backups are taken right before applying them. If something still goes wrong, it gets rolled back or fixed quickly.
How do I send requests?
By email or through your preferred project tool. I work async, so you don't need to schedule a call to get a change done — although I can join meetings when needed.
Do you support agencies?
Yes. I've maintained client sites for U.S. agencies for years and can work behind the scenes as part of your team.
Can maintenance include new features?
Yes. Beyond routine care, the time can be used for improvements, new pages or small features — whatever your site needs most that month.
