Ongoing care
Professional WordPress maintenance
WordPress is not a "set it and forget it" website: it's a living platform, with a constant stream of security updates for core, plugins and themes. Ignoring them means stacking up known vulnerabilities, incompatibilities and slowdowns — until something breaks, usually at the worst possible moment.
With a Fixotron maintenance plan your site is updated, monitored and protected every month by expert hands. You run your business; we run the workshop.
What maintenance includes
Every plan covers the work that keeps a WordPress site healthy, secure and fast:
- WordPress core, plugin and theme updates, with compatibility checks before and after
- Automatic backups stored off-server, with tested restores
- Uptime monitoring: if the site goes down, we know before your customers do
- Security scans and known-vulnerability checks
- Database cleanup and performance tuning
- Small fixes and tweaks included in the plan
Why automatic updates are not enough
Turning on automatic updates sounds like a solution, but it's exactly how many of the broken sites we repair got broken: a plugin updates overnight, conflicts with the theme, and by morning the site shows a white screen — with nobody noticing for days.
Professional maintenance is a process, not an automation: before updating we check the changelog and compatibility, take a backup, update, then re-check the site. If something goes wrong, we roll back in minutes. It's the difference between "I hope it went fine" and "I know it went fine".
Tailored plans, clear monthly fee
Not every site has the same needs: a company brochure site, a frequently updated blog and a WooCommerce store taking daily orders require different cadences and different attention. That's why the fee is defined after a free site check-up: we assess the current state, the plugin count and how critical the site is to your business, then propose the right plan.
The fee is monthly, transparent and without long-term lock-in. If the site ever needs extra work, you always know the cost up front.
Maintenance and support work together
Maintenance prevents problems; when you need a one-off intervention — an error to fix, a change, an issue after a DIY update — there's on-demand WordPress support. And if your site is years behind on updates, we start with a security hardening pass to bring it back to a reliable state before the plan kicks in.
Frequently asked questions
How much does WordPress maintenance cost?
The fee depends on the complexity of the site (plugin count, e-commerce, publishing frequency). After a free check-up you receive a clear monthly proposal with no long-term lock-in.
How often do you update the site?
Routine updates are applied on a regular schedule according to your plan; critical security updates are applied as soon as they're available, at any point in the month.
What happens if an update breaks the site?
We always take a backup before any work and verify the site afterwards. If an update causes problems, we restore within minutes and resolve the incompatibility before reapplying it.
My site hasn't been updated in years: can you take it on?
Yes. In these cases we first run a recovery intervention (gradual updates, compatibility checks, hardening) and then switch to routine maintenance.
