Let me maintain your WordPress site,

• Updates

  Updates are of the utmost importance to keep your site performing as it should and prevent security issues. Did you know that out-of-date plugins and themes are back-door entry points for hackers?

  • Core Updates: Updates are always being made to WordPress itself and need to be done promptly after release.
  • Plugin and Theme Updates: done on monthly or weekly basis. These can sometimes cause conflicts and break your site, so I will test them and ensure your site is not adversely affected.

• Cloud Backups

  Don’t worry about losing your data! I will perform redundant off-site cloud backups of both your database and website files on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis. Should something break, I can restore your site to the latest backup and avoid excessive downtime.

  • Full Site Backup: Includes all files related to your WordPress installation only: themes,  plugins, images, etc…
    
  • Database Backup
    

• Monitoring

  Keeping an eye on your website…

  • Personal Site Check: I will visit your site after each update to ensure that the site is functioning properly.
