Launching a website is just the beginning. A WordPress site that isn’t updated, checked, and monitored can become a security risk, slow down, and start displaying errors within 6 to 12 months. This is particularly crucial for public sector organisations, as the website is often the only digital contact with citizens. On this page, we’ll explain what website maintenance entails, why it’s essential, and how it can benefit you.
The website becomes a real working tool, not just a representative page.
A WordPress website without maintenance will encounter these challenges over time:
Website maintenance is not a single service; it encompasses a range of activities that ensure stable operation:
Security Updates — we regularly update the WordPress core, plugins, and themes. A backup is created before each update.
Backups — automatic daily backups are stored in a separate location. If something goes wrong, the website can be restored quickly.
Different organisations have varying needs. Here are three common maintenance models:
Basic Support — security updates, backups, and performance monitoring. Suitable for smaller organisations with a simple website and infrequent content changes. This is the minimum requirement for any website.
Active Support — everything included in basic support, plus regular updates and proactive management.
When choosing who will maintain your website, it’s essential to consider these questions:
We review the current website situation — updates, security, speed, and backups. We identify what needs fixing.
We update all outdated components, configure backups, and implement security measures. We prepare the website for regular maintenance.
We commence regular maintenance according to the chosen model — updates, monitoring, speed optimisation, and content support.
A regularly maintained website:
We offer a complimentary status check — assessing security, speed, and updates. In just 15 minutes, you’ll understand your current situation.
Security checks, SSL, firewalls, and threat monitoring are essential parts of website maintenance.
Before signing a maintenance contract, an independent assessment of the website's condition is crucial.
If maintenance indicates that the website is outdated, it may be time for a redesign.
WordPress maintenance has its specifics — core updates, plugins, themes, and databases require attention.
