Your Website Needs Maintenance Whether You Realize It or Not

What Most Agencies Get Wrong

The SEO Risks of a Redesign (and How We Avoid Them)

Hacked Website

Outdated WordPress plugins are the #1 entry point for hackers. We’ve cleaned up sites that were injecting spam links, redirecting to malware sites and sending phishing emails — all because a plugin update was ignored for 6 months.

30,000+ WordPress sites are hacked daily

Broken Functionality

WordPress updates can break plugins. Plugin updates can break themes. If nobody is testing after updates, your contact form might stop working and you won’t know until a customer tells you they couldn’t reach you.

Most broken forms go unnoticed for 2-4 weeks

Slow Load Times

Databases bloat over time. Unused plugins accumulate. Image files pile up. Without regular optimization, a site that loaded in 2 seconds at launch can slow to 6-8 seconds within a year.

53% of visitors leave if a page takes over 3 seconds

Google Penalties

Google actively penalizes sites with security issues, broken pages and poor mobile performance. An unmaintained site gradually loses rankings as Google detects these problems during regular crawls.

Security issues can drop rankings 50-90%

Real Stories

Things We've Seen Go Wrong

These aren’t hypothetical scenarios. These are real situations from businesses we’ve helped recover.

The Contractor Who Lost 3 Months of Leads

A roofing contractor’s contact form stopped working after a WordPress update. He didn’t have a maintenance plan and didn’t notice for 11 weeks. During peak storm season, every form submission went to a dead end. He only found out when a customer called to ask why nobody responded to their online request.

How We Prevent This

We test every form submission after every update. If something breaks, we catch it the same day.

The Restaurant That Got Blacklisted by Google

A restaurant’s website was hacked through an outdated plugin. The hackers injected hidden links to pharmaceutical spam. Google flagged the site as compromised and removed it from search results entirely. It took 6 weeks to clean up and get the site reinstated.

How We Prevent This

Our security scans catch vulnerabilities before hackers exploit them. Prevention costs a fraction of cleanup.

The Law Firm That Couldn't Update Their Site

A law firm’s previous developer disappeared. When they needed to update their attorney bios and add a new practice area, they couldn’t access their own website. The developer had used a proprietary page builder and never shared login credentials.

How We Prevent This

We build on standard WordPress with documented access. You always have your own admin credentials and hosting login.

Questions

Maintenance FAQ

Can't I just update WordPress myself?

You can click the update button, but that's the easy part. The hard part is knowing which updates are safe to install, testing for compatibility issues afterward, having a backup ready if something breaks and knowing how to fix it when it does. We've seen well-meaning business owners break their sites by clicking 'Update All' without testing first.

Do I need maintenance if my site is new?

Yes. WordPress releases security updates regularly and plugins update even more frequently. A brand-new site is just as vulnerable to security exploits as an old one if the software isn't kept current. We recommend starting maintenance from day one.

What's included in content changes?

Text updates, image swaps, adding new team members, updating pricing, changing phone numbers, adding new services to existing pages. Most small changes take 15-30 minutes. We quote anything larger before starting so there are no surprises.

Can I cancel anytime?

There's nothing to cancel. We bill hourly at $225/hour. If you're on optional monthly hours, those are month-to-month with no contract. You can stop anytime.

Do you maintain sites you didn't build?

Yes, as long as they're built on WordPress. We'll do an initial audit to understand your site's setup, plugins and hosting environment. If we find any existing issues, we'll let you know what needs to be addressed before we take over maintenance.

How do I request changes?

Email us with what you need changed and we'll handle it. Most routine changes are completed within 1-2 business days. Urgent requests like broken functionality or security issues are addressed the same day. You don't need to explain technical details — just tell us what you want and we'll figure out the how.
