Most WordPress problems don’t happen suddenly. They build up through missed updates, ignored warnings, and small issues that compound over time.
I provide hands-off WordPress maintenance and support, so sites stay stable, secure, and uneventful without ongoing input or reactive firefighting.

What I Do and Why It Matters
WordPress maintenance isn’t about constant changes. It’s about preventing problems before they appear and handling issues calmly when they do.
This service focuses on ongoing care and oversight, sitting above hosting and infrastructure, ensuring sites remain healthy as WordPress, plugins, and environments evolve.
I take responsibility for
- Controlled WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates
- Monitoring for errors, breakage, or instability
- Addressing small issues before they escalate
- Responding calmly when something does go wrong
- Maintaining continuity and predictability over time
Instead of reacting to emergencies, this approach keeps sites boringly reliable.
The Benefit to You
- Fewer unexpected issues or urgent messages
- Reduced risk of updates breaking the site
- Clear ownership post-launch
- Less reactive support work
- Long-term stability without ongoing involvement
From your client’s perspective, the site just works.
From yours, maintenance stops being a source of anxiety.

FAQs
You have questions? Here are some answers
I aim to make working together as smooth and predictable as possible. Here are answers to a few common questions.
What does “hands-off” maintenance actually mean?
It means you’re not expected to monitor updates, review logs, or respond to small issues. I handle routine maintenance and oversight quietly in the background.
What’s included in WordPress maintenance?
Core, theme, and plugin updates, monitoring for errors or instability, small fixes as needed, and calm response if something breaks.
How is this different from hosting or performance support?
Hosting focuses on infrastructure. Maintenance focuses on the application layer — keeping WordPress itself healthy and stable over time.
Do you update everything automatically?
No. Updates are handled manually to reduce the risk of breakage, rather than pushed blindly.
What happens if an update causes a problem?
Issues are investigated and resolved calmly. Because changes are controlled, problems are usually isolated and fixable without escalation.
Do you support sites you didn’t build?
No, sorry! I take full ownership for all websites I maintain, and I’m unable to guarantee the health someone elses website build.
Is this suitable for business-critical sites?
Yes. In fact, this service is most valuable where reliability, reputation, or client trust matters.
Does this include security?
Maintenance includes preventative care that supports security, but it complements, rather than replaces, infrastructure-level security. Security is a included part of my hosting package.
Will this affect SEO or performance?
No. Updates and fixes are handled carefully to avoid unintended SEO or performance impact.
Is this an ongoing service?
Yes. Maintenance is continuous by nature and the value comes from consistency over time. This comes included as part of my hosting package.
Can this be white-label for agencies?
Absolutely. I can operate fully behind the scenes under your agency’s brand.
How much involvement is required from me?
Very little. The goal is to remove maintenance from your day-to-day responsibilities.
