Platform Maintenance & Security

Scheduled, documented care for live WordPress platforms. Updates are tested in staging before they reach production. Backups are automated and stored offsite. Security is monitored continuously.

Overview

If something breaks, we know before you do.

A WordPress platform does not stay where you left it. Plugins fall out of date and become attack vectors. Core updates create conflicts that break functionality. Performance degrades as the database grows. Forms stop working. Small issues become expensive problems when nobody is watching.

When the platform runs part of the organisation, every one of those problems becomes an operational problem. Platform Maintenance is the ongoing technical work that keeps the platform secure, fast and stable, without your team having to manage any of it.

We onboard any WordPress platform after an initial audit, whether we built it or not. Monthly reporting is included, so you know exactly what was done and what is next.

Who this is for

  • Organisations with no one currently managing their platform
  • Platforms that recently launched and need looking after
  • Teams whose developer is no longer available

How we work

How maintenance works.

The same team that builds platforms stays on to maintain them. No handoff to a support desk that has never seen the codebase.
