WordPress Website Maintenance Plans

Your website is an investment. Don’t neglect it!

WordPress maintenance is important. Websites these days are rarely static, and the internet is changing constantly to keep up with the desire for more functionality, improved security for users and better browser performance. In order for your site to continue growing with this change, regular and planned maintenance is required.

Yeah yeah, show me the price...

The 3 main reasons for regular WordPress website maintenance are:

Security

If you don’t properly maintain your WordPress powered website, an out of date version of WordPress, plugin, theme, or script could lead to a security issue such as a hacked site or your site details and client information being misused. The best way to avoid this is to ensure you have the latest security patches in place.

Functionality

The team at WordPress and its vast community of developers are continually working on new functionality for this rapidly growing CMS.

Your Premium functionality components are also being worked on tirelessly and being up to date means you can take advantage of the latest version of the software used on your site.

Bug Fixes

While minor, bugs in the software still get uncovered and the WordPress community work tirelessly to fix these, often releasing updates to fix them. Updates to the theme, plugin and WordPress core files are often required.

The following packages are suitable for clients with existing websites who have NOT engaged the Live By 5 website in a day process.

All packages allow you to add additional time for support at updates at checkout. Adhoc support, trouble shooting and updates outside the allocated times in your chosen package will be billed in 15 min blocks. You can request an estimate for any additional work you require done.
