WordPress maintenance planswith hosting in the same bill.
Updates tested before they go live, security handled, backups ready to roll back, and hosting in the same plan. One bill, one team, from the studio that builds on WordPress every day.
WordPress runs on three things that never stop moving: the core software, the plugins bolted onto it, and the theme it all sits on. Each one updates on its own schedule, and the most common way a WordPress site breaks has nothing to do with hacking. A plugin update ships, it clashes with the theme, and a page goes blank. Nobody gets an alert. You find out when a customer emails to ask why the booking form disappeared.
That is the job a real plan does. This is the WordPress-specific side of our full maintenance and hosting service: the same person who keeps the site running knows it is a WordPress build, knows which plugins it leans on, and treats an update as something to test, not something to fire off and hope.
Owner-operators do not have a marketing team watching for this. You have a business to run. The site is supposed to bring in work, not become another thing you have to babysit.
What a WordPress maintenance plan covers.
A plan worth paying for is not a plugin-update checklist. It is the whole thing that keeps a WordPress site earning while you are busy running the business.
WordPress software gets updated in a controlled way with a recent backup in place, so a version clash is a rollback, not a broken page.
WordPress is the most-attacked platform on the web because it runs most of the web. We watch for the trouble that targets it specifically, so a problem gets caught early instead of on a Monday when a customer flags it.
A clean, recent copy of the site exists. A bad update or a bad day becomes a restore, not a rebuild.
If the site goes down, we know. You should not be the one to notice first.
A price change, a new service page, swapped photos. Send it through the Client Hub and a person who knows your site handles it.
The site lives on our own server, and your login gives you invoices, live monitoring, and a support form that reaches a person.
Two sides to it. The proactive work happens on a schedule whether or not anything is wrong. The reactive side is what happens when something breaks, and on WordPress, something eventually does. A plan covers both.
Hosting is in the plan, not a separate bill.
Here is the part most WordPress maintenance shops leave out of the headline. Their plan covers the upkeep, then hosting shows up as a second charge somewhere else, often more than the maintenance itself. Read the fine print on the guides ranking above this page and they will quietly tell you to budget an extra line for managed WordPress hosting on top of the plan you already bought.
We do not split it. Your WordPress site runs on our own server, and hosting is part of the plan. One bill, not two. The Client Hub comes with it: your login, your invoices, live site monitoring, and a support form that goes to a person, all in one place.
You can host somewhere else if you would rather. Plenty of good reasons exist to. But most clients keep the site on our hosting because the monitoring and the Hub come attached, and because chasing a hosting company when something breaks is exactly the runaround a plan is supposed to end.
Why WordPress specifically needs a plan.
WordPress is open and endlessly extendable, and that is the whole point of it. It is also the reason it needs looking after in a way a hand-coded brochure site does not.
The plugin ecosystem is the strength and the liability at once. Every plugin is code written by someone else, updating on their timeline, sometimes abandoned by a developer who moved on. An abandoned plugin does not announce itself. It just sits there until its outdated code becomes the hole someone walks through. Add version drift between core, theme, and a dozen plugins, PHP versions getting bumped on the server, and the constant brute-force attempts against the wp-admin login, and you have a site that works right up until the afternoon it does not.
None of this is dramatic. That is the trap. The failures are dull and specific, and they surface at the worst possible time, which is any time a customer hits them before you do. A plan is the difference between catching that on a schedule and hearing about it from someone who was about to buy.
A person who tests updates, not a bot that pushes them.
There is a cheap end of this market, and it is worth naming plainly. Budget WordPress plans are usually a bot running automated updates and pushing them straight to the live site with nobody watching. That is not maintenance. It is an automated way to break your site on a subscription. When one of those updates clashes with your theme and blanks a page, there is no person to call, only a ticket queue and email-only support run at the scale of a hundred other sites.
Every update we apply runs in a controlled way with a recent backup ready to roll back. If something clashes, we catch it and reverse it instead of leaving you with a dead page. A person who knows your specific WordPress build is doing the work, which is why a fix takes a fraction of the time it would from a vendor meeting your site for the first time.
The same goes for the “unlimited edits” line you will see on the plan grids. Read closely and it is capped at twenty or thirty minutes and excludes anything real. We do not play that game. Content edits and requests are handled by a person, bigger work is scoped and priced with you first, and no surprise overage lands on your invoice.
Core, plugin, and theme updates run on a copy of the site with a recent backup in place, so a version clash surfaces here, not on the live page.
The site your customers see updates only after the change is clean, so a bad plugin never reaches it in the first place.
Rollback: if an update clashes, the backup restores the last clean version. A bad day becomes a restore, not a rebuild.
Plans that fit the site.
Not every WordPress site needs the same level of watching, so the plan flexes to fit what you are actually running. No quantities to decode, no tier grid to reverse-engineer.
Hosting, security, updates, monitoring, backups, content edits, and the Client Hub. The whole plan, for a WordPress site that informs and generates leads.
A checkout, a payment gateway, and live inventory carry more risk than a brochure site, so a store sits on a closer-watch plan with more frequent updates. When money moves through the site, a broken plugin is a lost sale, not just a blank page.
Larger WordPress sites, heavy monthly changes, or maintenance bundled with an ongoing SEO program.
Which one fits is a short conversation about your site, not a form you fill out to see a price.
We build on WordPress, so we already know yours.
We build on WordPress and Elementor every day, which means keeping a WordPress site running is not a side service we bolt on. It is the same stack we design in.
That shows up in the sites we still keep running. A construction brand we still support today and a Front Range contractor site we keep running on WordPress are both WordPress builds on an ongoing plan, and a Denver-area shop whose site we have kept ranking for years sits on maintenance and SEO together. We built those sites, so we already know how each one is wired. Problems get caught before they go live, and fixes do not start with a discovery tax.
No competitor ranking for this term can say that. They maintain sites they have never seen and start every relationship with an audit to figure out what they are looking at. If we did not build yours, that is fine. We take on WordPress sites we did not make, starting with a review to learn how yours is put together, then bringing it onto a plan. If you are having us build the site too, the WordPress sites we design and build come off launch straight onto maintenance, no gap and no cold handoff. The same holds for the custom tools and integrations we build: they need the same upkeep as the site they plug into, and they run on the same plan.
What it costs.
No numbers here, and no “get a quote” wall either. Both are games. Here is how the price actually works.
You get a flat monthly figure in writing before anything starts, and you can bill it monthly or annually, whichever is easier to manage. Two things move it: how complex the site is, and whether you sell online. A five-page WordPress site needs less watching than a WooCommerce store taking orders every day, so it costs less. That is the whole logic, no mystery to it.
If something bigger comes up, a new page or a redesign, we scope and price it with you first. Nothing lands on your invoice that you did not approve, and there is no “unlimited edits” asterisk hiding a cap. Straight figure, straight terms.
One honest note. Maintenance keeps a sound WordPress site healthy. It cannot rescue one that is two or three major versions behind and held together with patches. When that is what we are looking at, a rebuild is the better use of your money, and we will tell you that before you pay for either.
