Neglected websites become liabilities

Websites degrade over time without attention. WordPress core updates release monthly. Plugins require updates. Security vulnerabilities emerge frequently. Performance degrades as content accumulates. What launched perfectly becomes slow, vulnerable, and unreliable with time without proper care.

Why website maintenance is essential

Contact us

Business continuity

Downtime costs money, both in lost revenue and damaged reputation. E-commerce sites lose sales directly. Service businesses lose leads. All businesses lose credibility when sites fail. Proactive maintenance minimizes downtime risk and resolves issues quickly when they occur.

Security protection

Data breaches damage customer trust and carry legal liability. WordPress powers 43% of the web, making it a prime target for automated attacks. Without maintenance, your site is vulnerable. With maintenance, security layers and rapid patching protect against threats.

Performance preservation

Sites slow down over time as content accumulates and code degrades. Slow sites lose visitors, 40% abandon sites taking over 3 seconds to load. Regular optimization maintains speed, preserving user experience and search rankings.

Cost predictability

Maintenance provides predictable monthly costs instead of emergency repairs. Preventing problems costs less than fixing them reactively. Budget €100-500/month for maintenance versus €1,000-10,000 for emergency restoration after breaches or failures.

Our website maintenance approach

Proactive security management

Security isn't optional, it's essential.

We monitor for vulnerabilities, apply security patches promptly, implement hardening measures, and maintain firewall configurations. WordPress core, themes, and plugins receive updates within 48 hours of release after compatibility testing. We scan for malware weekly and monitor for suspicious activity continuously.

Automated backup system

Mistakes happen

Websites fail. Servers crash. We maintain automated daily backups stored off-site with 30-day retention. Before major updates, we create additional recovery points. If anything goes wrong, we can restore your site to any previous state within hours, not days.

Performance optimization

Fast sites rank higher

We monitor page load times, optimize images and assets, configure caching systems, and audit code efficiency. When performance degrades, we identify causes and implement solutions. Database optimization, CDN configuration, and server tuning keep your site running smoothly as traffic grows.

Plugin & theme management

WordPress’s strength, its extensibility through plugins, is also a vulnerability point. We manage plugin updates carefully, testing compatibility before applying changes. Unnecessary plugins get removed to reduce attack surface and improve performance. When plugins conflict or cause issues, we troubleshoot and resolve problems quickly.

Uptime monitoring

If your site goes down, we know within minutes, not hours or days. Automated monitoring checks your site every 5 minutes from multiple global locations. When downtime is detected, we receive immediate alerts and begin troubleshooting. Most issues resolve within 30 minutes.

Technical Support

Maintenance includes technical support for questions, minor updates, and troubleshooting. Need to add a new page? Update content? Fix a broken element? We handle it without separate project estimates for minor work. This ongoing relationship means issues resolve quickly without waiting for quotes and contracts.
