What is included
Maintenance, month by month
A WordPress site is not finished on launch day. WordPress, the theme and the plugins get updates almost every week, and a site nobody looks after becomes slow, full of errors or open to attacks.
01
Tested
updates
WordPress, theme and plugins updated with care, checking the site after each update, so nothing stops working without us noticing.
02
Backups
A copy of the site before every update. If anything goes wrong, the site goes back to how it was.
03
PHP version
up to date
We check the PHP version and arrange the update with your hosting, testing first any older plugins that might stop working.
04
Security and
monitoring
Uptime, security and performance checked regularly, to catch faults and vulnerabilities before they become a problem.
05
Changes
and fixes
Texts, images, new pages, small design tweaks and bug fixes, handled quickly and without opening a new project each time.
06
Monthly
check-in
A short summary of what changed on the site, what is going well and what may need attention soon.

Why now
The PHP2Shell flaw
On 21 October 2026, two critical flaws were announced in PHP, the code every WordPress site runs on. Sites with someone looking after them got the fix within days; forgotten sites are still exposed.
01
PHP 8.2
or newer
There is a fix. Your hosting installs the small update within the same version, and we confirm it was done.
02
PHP 8.1
or older
These versions will not get a fix. The site has to move to a newer version, and old plugins have to be checked first.
03
Don't know
your version?
We explain how to see it in one minute, or send us your site address and we check what we can from outside. Read the PHP2Shell guide.

Questions
FAQ
What clients usually ask about WordPress website maintenance.
How much does WordPress website maintenance cost?
With us, maintenance is from €49/month excl. IVA. The final price depends on the size of the site, the number of plugins and what you need each month, and it is set in writing after a short audit, before we start.
Do you maintain WordPress sites you didn't build?
Yes. We start with a short audit to understand what is already there (hosting, versions, plugins, past problems) before we take over maintenance.
What if an update breaks the site?
We make a backup before every update and check the site afterwards. If anything stops working, we restore the previous version and fix the problem before updating again.
Does my site need a PHP update because of PHP2Shell?
If your site is WordPress, see the PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info → Server. On PHP 8.1 or older there will be no fix, and the site has to move to a newer version. We explain it all in the PHP2Shell guide.
Do I need maintenance if my site is on Tilda, Shopify or Wix?
Not in the same way: those platforms look after their own servers and updates. You may still need content changes and fixes, and for that we have website support.
What if I only need a one-time fix?
No problem. One-off updates and fixes do not need a monthly plan: just get in touch and tell us what you need. We reply within 24 hours.
