The problem

Why DIY WordPress maintenance fails.

90% of business owners start out maintaining their own WordPress site. Within 12 months, most have either been hacked, lost data, or shipped a critical update that broke production. Four reasons.

Plugin conflicts after updates

WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates ship constantly. One bad update breaks the site — usually on a Friday afternoon. Without a staging environment to test first and a tested backup to roll back, you're staring at a broken site with no clear path forward.

Security holes you don't know about

WordPress vulnerabilities are disclosed daily. The plugin ecosystem has 60,000+ plugins, dozens of which get exploited yearly. Without active scanning (Wordfence, Sucuri), 2FA, and login hardening, your site is one outdated plugin away from a malware injection.

No backups (or untested ones)

"My host backs up my site." Maybe — but have you tested a restore? Many host backups are 24-72 hours stale and stored on the same server. When ransomware hits, both production and backup are encrypted simultaneously. We've seen agencies lose 6 months of content this way.

Performance degrades silently

Six months after launch, page speed has crept from 1.5s to 4s. New plugins added bloat. Database has 50,000 spam comments. Image library has 8,000 unoptimized photos. Without monthly health checks, you don't notice until rankings drop.

FAQs

Common maintenance questions.

Yes. We onboard inherited WordPress sites every week. The first 30 days include a deep audit, security baseline, backup setup, and any critical fixes. From month 2, you're on the standard maintenance flow.
UptimeRobot detects within 60 seconds. SMS + Slack alert hits our team. We diagnose immediately. For Standard tier, response is <4 business hours. For Premium tier, it's same-day with same-hour response on weekdays.
Premium tier yes — emergency phone for site-down or hack situations. Standard tier, 4-hour response during business hours (we cover Lagos, Houston, London time zones). Basic tier is best-effort within 1 business day.
We don't sell hosting. We recommend Cloudways or Kinsta and configure your account. The hosting bill stays in your name (so you own it), and we manage the server stack on your behalf. This avoids vendor lock-in.
We restore from the most recent clean backup (typically <24 hours of data loss), patch the vulnerability, harden security, and submit reconsideration to Google if blacklisted. On Standard and Premium, hack recovery is included.
Yes. Month-to-month, no contracts. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. We hand over admin access, document everything, and don't lock you in.
