Updates that don’t break your site. Run by humans, on staging.
The number-one cause of WordPress disasters is an unattended update. We handle core, plugin, and theme updates the careful way — tested on staging, with a backup taken first and one-click rollback ready — plus daily off-site backups, security hardening, and real human support when you need it.
“Click update and hope” is how good sites go down on a Tuesday afternoon.
WordPress, your theme, and a dozen plugins all release updates on their own schedules — and any one of them can conflict with another. Skip them and you’re a security risk; apply them blindly and you risk a white screen during business hours. We take the third path: test on staging, back up first, roll back instantly if anything’s off. Boring, on purpose.

Every plan starts with a free audit so we know your site before we touch it. Prices are starting points; we confirm after the audit.
- Monthly core/plugin/theme updates on staging
- Daily off-site backups + 1-click restore
- Uptime monitoring + security hardening
- Monthly care report
- Everything in Growth, real-time monitoring
- WooCommerce checkout monitoring
- Emergency response priority
- Quarterly strategy review
The careful sequence, every single time.
This is the part most “maintenance” services skip — and exactly why they cause outages.
Back up first
Before any change, we take a fresh off-site snapshot of files and database — so a one-click rollback is always available.
Test on staging
Updates are applied to a staging copy first, not production. We check for conflicts, fatal errors, and layout breakage where it’s safe.
Ship & verify
Once staging is clean, changes go live and we run a visual regression check to confirm nothing shifted on the real site.
Report
You get a plain-English monthly report: what was updated, what was backed up, uptime, and anything we flagged for attention.

What people ask before starting a care plan.
Can’t WordPress just auto-update itself?
What happens if an update breaks something?
Do you host my site too?
What’s included beyond updates?
Is there a contract?
