Investing in website care maintenance is important for the operations and overall security of your website. Typically, with website providers, you will have an ongoing maintenance fee included within the initial development cost, or they bill monthly for maintenance.
Maintenance plans guarantee your website receives essential care for its long-term health and security. Our team has conducted extensive research on web care costs and can offer you a comprehensive and cost-effective maintenance plan to keep your website running smoothly.
So, why should you invest in a maintenance plan for your WordPress site? Here are the top five reasons a maintenance plan can benefit your website.
1. Managed WordPress Updates, Plugins, and Improved Theme
WordPress’s foundation undergoes continuous updates to enhance functionality and security. However, updating these foundational elements without the requisite web expertise can lead to a broken website. To mitigate this risk, we thoroughly test and implement these updates, plugins and themes to ensure your operations continue to run smoothly.
2. Abandoned / Orphan Plugin Detection
Some plugin developers can stop updating their applications, which can lead to issues with WordPress updates. We locate these orphaned plugins and integrate updated alternatives.
3. Security Monitoring
