WordPress retainer takeover for a business-critical publishing stack
A publisher moved from reactive WordPress firefighting to a calmer monthly support model covering updates, uptime, backups and controlled change work.
Monthly retainers that handle updates, backups, security, uptime, performance and small changes — so your site never becomes someone's 3am problem.
WordPress maintenance and support is an ongoing service covering core, plugin and theme updates, security hardening, backups, uptime monitoring, performance reviews and small content or code changes under a monthly retainer.
Weekly, tested in staging before production.
Hardening, MFA, malware scans, Cloudflare WAF.
Off-site daily backups and tested restores.
1-minute checks, alerting, SLA-backed response.
Quarterly CWV and DB reviews.
Included dev hours every month.
Pricing is quoted after discovery based on scope, team shape and delivery timeline. Starter, Pro and Enterprise tiers are scoped after the initial audit.
The people you meet in discovery stay involved through architecture, delivery and launch.
Metadata, schema, page performance and semantic markup are part of delivery, not a post-launch add-on.
Tradeoffs, integrations and scope changes are documented so your team can audit decisions later.
Repos, infra, analytics and documentation live in your accounts from the beginning.
Real delivery examples tied to this service area, so buyers can move from claims to shipped work.
