WordPress maintenance

The sites you delivered, kept in shape. Under your name.

White label WordPress maintenance for agencies: updates tested before they go live, backups, security, monitoring and small changes. The client talks to you; we do the work.

A WordPress site doesn’t break on launch day. It breaks on update day.

WordPress, themes and plugins change every week. Updating blindly breaks the site; not updating leaves it exposed. In between there is methodical work that no agency wants to do across thirty different sites. We do it like this: backup, update on staging, check, then production. If something is off, we know before your client does.

Sites on our managed hosting also get its guarantees: a response within 24 hours and a daily backup.

What maintenance includes

The work you would do if you had the time, done methodically on every site.

  • 01

    Tested updates

    WordPress, theme and plugins updated on staging first, then in production, with the main pages checked after every intervention.

  • 02

    A backup before every change

    A full copy before every update, and restores that are actually tested. If something goes wrong, we go back to the previous version.

  • 03

    Security

    Checks on vulnerable plugins, access, permissions and HTTPS certificates. If a plugin is no longer maintained, we propose how to replace it.

  • 04

    Monitoring

    We check that the site responds. If it goes down, we know before your client does.

  • 05

    Small changes and improvements

    Edits, fixes and new features on the same sites, with the same workflow: development, staging, approval, production.

  • 06

    Reports under your brand

    What was done on each site, in a report you can forward to the client under your agency’s name.

How we start

Before promising anything about a site, we look at it.

  1. Site review

    Versions, plugins, hosting, existing backups. We tell you where each site stands and what we can guarantee.

  2. Making it safe

    Backups, access and overdue updates, done on staging and without rushing.

  3. Ongoing maintenance

    Updates, checks and monitoring, on a schedule agreed site by site.

  4. Report

    At every interval you get what was done, site by site, ready to forward to the client.

What we work on

WordPress sites and WooCommerce stores, including the ones we didn’t build.

  • WordPress
  • WooCommerce
  • PHP
  • Git

Frequently asked questions

  1. Can you maintain sites you didn’t build?
    Yes. In the review we tell you what we can guarantee: on a site full of plugins we don’t control, some promises can’t be made, and we would rather say so up front.
  2. Will the client know you do the maintenance?
    No. Reports carry your agency’s name, and you are the one who talks to the client.
  3. Do the sites need to move to your hosting?
    No. We can work on the hosting they use today. Managed hosting adds its guarantees, but it is a choice, not a condition.
  4. What if an update breaks something?
    We see it on staging, before it reaches production. If a problem still shows up, we restore the backup taken before the change and fix it calmly.
  5. How much does it cost?
    It depends on how many sites there are and how they are built. Tell us about your sites: we reply with a proposal, not a generic price list.
