We look after your WordPress website as if it were our own. Our technical team manages the critical software updates, automated cloud backups, and proactive security monitoring so you can focus entirely on growing your business.
Proactive Upkeep
Weekly cloud backups and software version control.
Technical Support
Expert troubleshooting when updates cause plugin errors.
Outdated WordPress core software, themes, and plugins will eventually conflict, break, or become targets for automated hacking attempts. Regular maintenance is your primary defense against functionality errors and security breaches.
Developers constantly release updates to fix newly discovered security loopholes, introduce performance patches, and add new styling features. To access these critical patches, your paid software must maintain valid annual developer licenses. Our job is to manage this entire ecosystem seamlessly, keeping your platform stable, secure, and fully functional.
Weekly Cloud Backups
We perform weekly backups of your entire website database and asset library. We securely store eight historical copies at a time externally in Dropbox, providing you with a rolling two-month safety net of your data.
Software & License Upkeep
We continuously track and update your WordPress core installation, active themes, and individual plugins. Our team checks the ongoing validity of your premium software licenses to ensure you never miss critical technical releases.
