FAQ

What's included in WordPress maintenance?

Monthly core and plugin updates, security scans, automatic backups, broken-link checks and a performance report. Small content tweaks fall within the hour budget.

What does WordPress maintenance cost?

Base plan starts at €45/month for one WordPress site (updates, backups, security). With hour budget for changes from €95/month. Prefer one-off jobs? That works too — no fixed commitment.

Why is WordPress maintenance important?

Outdated WordPress sites are the leading cause of hacked websites. Roughly 96% of WordPress hacks exploit a known vulnerability that was already patched. Timely updates prevent this and keep the site fast.

Do you also work with sites built by someone else?

Yes — that's actually the most common scenario. I get access to your hosting and WordPress, do a baseline audit, and take it from there. No migration required.

Do I get a report of what was done?

Yes. A short monthly report with what was updated, any security alerts, and how the site performs. No long PDF — just the relevant info.

Better to start fresh than maintain the old site?

Sometimes that's the smarter choice — especially if the current site is slow, poorly maintained or hard to update. Read more about getting a new website built.
