What you get

The full maintenance package.

Four things that should be table stakes — done properly, not as an afterthought to hosting.

Staging-tested updates

Core, plugin, and theme updates are run in a staging clone first. If anything breaks, I roll back before you notice.

Daily off-site backups

Encrypted, 30-day retention, restorable to a sandbox in minutes. Your host's backup is the safety net, not the strategy.

Uptime & performance monitoring

1-minute uptime checks, transaction monitoring on key pages, alerts to me first so you don't get woken up.

Monthly written report

What was updated, what was patched, what threats were blocked, where uptime landed. Plain English, in your inbox.

Tools I use

Best-of-breed stack, my licenses.

No extra cost passed to you.

Common questions

Maintenance, specifically.

What gets updated?
WordPress core, all installed plugins (free and premium), and themes. Updates are run in staging first; if a regression appears, I roll back and either patch the underlying issue or hold the update until the vendor fixes it.
How often do you update?
Essential plan: monthly. Growth and Premium: weekly. Security patches are applied within 48 hours of release regardless of plan.
Where are backups stored?
Off-site, encrypted, with 30-day retention. By default I use BlogVault or your host's snapshot system; for compliance-sensitive sites I can configure backups to your own S3 / B2 / GCS bucket.
What's NOT included in maintenance?
Net-new feature development, theme customizations, content writing, and site redesigns. Small change requests are included in Growth (1/month) and Premium (up to 2h/month).
