WordPress Website Maintenance That Doesn't Miss a Beat
I offer WordPress maintenance plans for businesses, agencies, and e-commerce sites that need their website to run smoothly.
Why Maintenance Matters
Neglect a WordPress site long enough, and it bites back. Old plugins stop playing nice. Core updates break things. Security holes start to show. Worst case? Your site goes down with your reputation.
I keep your site healthy with regular updates, security checks, uptime monitoring, malware scanning and fast backups, so you're not waking up to a broken homepage or emails from angry customers.
WordPress pushes updates often. You can check the release history. Missing one or two might be fine, but ignoring them for too long can lead to things unravelling fast.
Work Directly With Me (no middle-men)
I'm experienced in maintaining client WordPress sites, and I know what I'm doing. I provide comprehensive reports and updates.
You get:
- Managed core & plugin updates
- Quick action if something goes wrong
- Clear communication
- Detailed monthly reports on tasks completed
I don't just send a "maintenance done" email once a month. I don't use bulk update tools without checking version compatibility for each plugin.
I keep your site running, ensuring you're always up to date with the latest security fixes and patches, so you don't have to worry about what might go wrong.
My WordPress Maintenance Plans Include
Here's what I look after as part of your WordPress care plan:
- Core WordPress updates: tested before rollout
- Plugin updates: including both free and paid
- Multisite support: network updates and database updates
- Backups: with quick recovery if anything goes wrong
- Uptime monitoring: 24/7 alerts if your site drops
- Security setup and scans: brute-force protection, firewall config and monthly file-checking and malware scanning
- PCI compliance support: I help WooCommerce clients stay compliant by managing secure payment plugin setups, SSL, and hosting configurations
- Hosting liaison: I'll deal with support if your server throws errors, including DNS management and SSL.
- Detailed monthly maintenance reports: what I updated, version history, file-checks, security scan results, firewall activity and more
Selling online? I can help keep your payment setup compliant and secure. I manage WooCommerce maintenance for several e-commerce clients, including payment gateway plugins, and PCI-related best practices like SSL, firewalls, caching exclusions, and PCI scans for compliance.
You don't need to chase or guess. I keep you in the loop by sending regular updates and monthly reports, so you know exactly what I've done.
My WordPress Maintenance Process
1. theme audit
I review your current setup, including plugins, backups, hosting, and anything that might go wrong.
2. clean setup
I add proper backups, configure security tools, set up uptime alerts, and review licences and plugin status.
3. safe testing
Got a WooCommerce store or high-traffic site? I'll use a staging site to avoid drama during updates and testing plugin and WordPress conflicts.
4. monthly reporting
You receive a monthly report, covering the updates I've made, any issues that arose, and the fixes I've implemented.
Ben Ashton, Director at GoodOaks
I highly recommend Colin, who provides ongoing support and maintenance for our homecare website. As well as developing a new website application for our franchise business, we’ve also hired him to implement new website features and technical SEO fixes. Colin is responsive, adds value, and can put things in a way that makes sense to non-coders!
Chris Witt, Director at BH1 Promotions
Colin and the Digital Mad team have been fantastic to work with over the years. We've gone through a few re-designs, new features being added and a woocommerce migration from magento, which was particularly scary. But the whole experience has been great throughout, even when a few outside challenges we're thrown in our way too.
Need More Than Just Maintenance?
Maintenance keeps the lights on. But if something breaks, needs fixing, or you want to tweak part of your site, that's a separate issue that needs solving.
I also offer WordPress support plans, available as either monthly retainers or by the hour. My WordPress support services cover:
- Bug fixes
- Investigating plugin issues
- Solving theme & plugin conflicts
- Frontend updates
- Minor content changes
WordPress maintenance keeps your site healthy and secure. Support steps in when something breaks or needs changing. You can run them side by side, or choose the one that best suits your budget. Some clients keep me on a monthly WordPress maintenance retainer, then book support on an ad-hoc basis whenever something needs fixing or changing.
Flexible Maintenance Plans
Some clients want monthly care. Others prefer to check in as needed. I don't lock you in either way. You can choose a:
- monthly maintenance plan (cancel or change anytime)
- ad-hoc maintenance as and when you need it
Monthly WordPress maintenance packages are best for sites that want to stay on top of regular updates, security patches and vulnerability fixes. I take care of all the technical updates and maintenance so you can focus on running your business.
White-label WordPress Maintenance for Agencies & Freelancers
Got clients who need reliable white-label WordPress maintenance, but no time to manage it yourself? I offer discreet white-label services for agencies, developers, and freelancers who want to scale without dropping the ball.
I'll handle plugin updates, backups, uptime monitoring, and ongoing WordPress care plans behind the scenes, so your clients stay happy, and your reputation stays intact. I can brand reports and ensure they are delivered on time, every month.

- I reply quickly

- I have a proven track record of maintaining WordPress sites
- I care if your site's running properly; if something breaks or goes wrong, I'm on it!
My WordPress clients stick around because the job gets done right, and they don't have to chase me for updates or ask for security patches when it's already too late.
Need WordPress builds, too? I also offer WordPress development services, from small brochure sites to complex multisite setups and custom themes.
Why Clients Choose My WordPress Maintenance Plans
Here's why WordPress maintenance clients stick around:
- They want peace of mind knowing their site's handled by someone who cares (and knows what they're doing).
- Their last developer went AWOL, or their agency support team took too long to respond.
- Updates broke their site, and no one noticed until it cost them business.
- They're tired of chasing people to do basic maintenance properly.
Let me take care of your WordPress website maintenance and give you complete peace of mind.

WordPress Maintenance FAQ
It’s the regular behind-the-scenes work that keeps your site from falling apart. Updates, backups, security checks, plugin fixes, all the boring stuff no one notices until it goes wrong.
If your site brings in traffic, takes payments, or handles customer data, maintenance isn't optional; it's protection.
