WordPress Maintenance Services

What are WordPress maintenance services?

WordPress maintenance services are ongoing care plans that keep your website secure, up to date, and performing at its best. This typically includes WordPress core updates, plugin and theme updates, security monitoring, malware scanning, daily backups, uptime monitoring, performance optimization, and content updates. Regular maintenance prevents security vulnerabilities, broken functionality, and slow load times that can hurt both your user experience and search engine rankings.

Don’t have the budget for a full-time in-house webmaster? We specialize in maintaining your website while you focus on what you do best – your business. Our website maintenance services allow you to focus on running your company while we keep your website running flawless. We run backups monthly and then do all updates on plugins, WordPress updates, theme & PHP updates to ensure your site is secure and fast running. This service is intended to keep your WordPress site secure, protected and loading fast.

When we first build a site for a client, our relationship doesn’t necessarily end when we publish your website. We will always take your ongoing maintenance needs into consideration when initially designing your website and are available to all of our clients for any relevant website updates that may arise. Whether you are planning a dynamic site with continual updates or are simply in need of occasional change to keep information current and up-to-date, it’s our pleasure to serve. At Internet Solutions Web Design, we specialize in website maintenance and support for all types of platforms whether you have a WordPress, Shopify or even a basic HTML/CSS or PHP website.

We maintain websites for busy business owners that do not have the time (or interest) to maintain the site on their own and some have the time but just prefer it done professionally. You’ll never have to worry about breaking your website again! Our maintenance team handles all WordPress, theme and plugin updates safely so your website is always secure, protected and quick loading.

Also, fresh websites receive more traffic from the search engines and can help you communicate better with your clients and potential clients. If you want your website to work, it must be fresh, it must be cared for. To learn more about our website maintenance services and security support, please see below.

In 12 plus years of working with the WordPress Content Management System, we have learned a lot. No two WordPress websites are the same, almost like snowflakes. We have worked with so many editors in the WordPress world and mastered all of them. There are tons of prebuilt WordPress themes out there that run the site as well as many custom WordPress themes.

It would be much easier if every WordPress site had the same editor to build and maintain the website with. Or we would settle for 3 editors max for WordPress sites, those would have to be the Avia Layout Builder with the Enfold theme, Divi or Elementor, which are all very robust content editors for maintaining completed sites and excellent builders for custom sites.

When we complete a new WordPress site for a client and go live on their domain, we schedule immediate training to teach our client how to easily update and maintain their website.

Why Website Maintenance Services?

Security

Every day, thousands of websites get hacked. WordPress sites make up a disproportionate percentage of those sites, since WordPress powers over 40% of the web. A lot of people think their sites are safe from attacks because they don’t contain valuable and sensitive business information. However, there are plenty of other reasons why sites get hacked, this is why website maintenance and security services are a must. If it has been longer than a few months since your website was last updated, it is not a matter of if but a matter of when your site visitors will receive the following warning upon going to your site.

Creative Writing

Struggle to come up with content about your company? Is your site lacking a strong message about your company and services to your audience? Our team of creative writers can custom tailor SEO friendly text that will create a professional first impression to new clients and give them needed confidence in your company.

Mobile Friendly Pages

Over 60% of website visitors come from a mobile device, that number will probably be 80% in the next five years, it is very important that your site pages render perfectly on mobile devices. Load time on a mobile device is very important as people usually will not wait more than a couple of seconds for a home page to load otherwise they are going to your competitor.

Image Optimization

We ensure all images throughout your site are properly optimized to display nicely on all devices. Oversized images can slow down the load time of your website, we will not only ensure proper image sizes to increase load time, but we will also add keywords (called ALT tags) to your images to help get you more exposure in searches online.

Fresh Content

We know how important fresh content is to your search engine rankings so we will work with you to make sure you are not only ‘fresh’ but also search engine friendly in everything we build into the site for you. A blog is a great example of fresh content, we can easily build one to two articles into your blog monthly and the Blog articles can also be found in search engines aside from your main site pages.

Get It Done Right

We know you want speedy, accurate and professional updates. We know you want to communicate directly with a web expert personally to implement your changes and manage your website. Well, that is just what you’ll get with Internet Solutions Web Design! We will even do the work with you while you are on the phone to ensure it is done in a timely manner and most importantly done to your specifications!

Search Engine Optimization

As part of our website maintenance we will assist you not only with the keywords of your site, we will also use tools to make sure that the keywords in your site are actually being typed in by consumers.

Broken/Dead Links

We ensure all outbound links on your site are working properly to give your web site visitors the best experience possible.

Monthly Website Maintenance Packages

Having a monthly maintenance agreement for your website is often a good idea for several reasons. First off, if your site needs at least one update monthly or a dozen updates yearly and you want to save money, consider our monthly maintenance plan instead of paying hourly each time you need an update. We offer different monthly website maintenance plans to accommodate the needs of any small business. Some clients need just one or two changes to their sites monthly and other clients need several updates daily. Many of our clients prefer to do the website management work over the phone with us to prevent them from having to type out detailed instructions. Feel free to contact us today to schedule a free no-obligation review of your website so better determine how much maintenance work you need. If you prefer to email in your content changes/instructions, we guarantee to have those changes complete within 12 business day for review.

How much is monthly website maintenance?

We have monthly maintenance plans as low as $16.99 a month. The changes do not accrue if you do not use them in a months time, but our pricing is very competitive and includes a full hosting plan if you choose to take advantage of that as well. For sites that have a need for more updates monthly, we have a $35 plan that includes included edits/updates monthly.

The great thing about our monthly maintenance plans is that they are all month to month, so you can start off with a basic plan and as your small business grows, your website maintenance needs will as well and you can simply upgrade to a higher plan if you choose. We also can build customized monthly maintenance plans to tailor to the needs of larger companies with websites that need a lot of updates monthly. So, if you find yourself searching for Website maintenance services near me or just looking for website maintenance companies in general, look no further than Internet Solutions Web Design as your partner for all things website management and security. Our website maintenance packages are affordable and with our company, we do not charge until the work is 100% complete to a clients satisfaction. We provide website maintenance services in USA only at this time.

In the past few years we have worked with so many new WordPress clients that had a awesome looking site built for them. But, due to lack of proper maintenance on the WordPress CMS (plugins, theme, version of WordPress and PHP version on the hosting account), the site was injected with malware, a spam link injection or worse yet a complete unfixable hack that keeps auto reinstalling itself after all of the malicious files are deleted.

The next thing they knew, their website was unfixable and they had no choice to pursue a complete redesign. This can easily be prevented with proper maintenance on your WordPress website monthly.

Our WordPress Maintenance package is similar to a dental cleaning or a car tune-up. We spend time monthly implementing safety measures and tending to needed updates as they crop up, to save you from spending much more time and money on much larger problems later.

“My site worked fine for years and next thing I knew people were telling me the site is redirecting them to a different site.”

“A client called me today and told me my site was down, I called my web guy who confirmed and then ran a scan which reported it was hacked and he has no idea how it happened or how to fix it.”

“Random ads linking to inappropriate sites started showing up in my website pages, pop ups as well, how can I stop this?”

Don’t Let This Happen To You

Remote WordPress Maintenance Services

A WordPress website has many benefits, the most important is a back end editor with a simple to use editor that allows someone who has no programming or technical experience to easily update their website on their own. A WordPress site also has the ability to install thousands of free plugins that allow you to easily add functionality to your site like shopping cart systems, photo galleries, live chat on your website and so much more.

But a WordPress website is very complicated in structure and is in many ways similar to your car, it requires frequent maintenance or it is going to break. Although our company is based in San Diego, CA, we offer remote WordPress maintenance services for clients all around the United States.

IF YOU HAVE A WORDPRESS WEBSITE AND ARE NOT DOING CORE UPDATES MONTHLY, IT IS NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT A MATTER OF WHEN YOUR SITE WILL GET HACKED.

I never leave reviews and I am leaving one now. That is how much I value the service that Internet Solutions Web Design provides. I have been using them for almost 5 years and during that time period I’ve experienced the best customer service that any client can ask for. As a business owner myself I understand that problems will arise from time to time. In my 5 years with them I have had one problem (no fault of theirs) and it was corrected in less than two hours. If you want to have something done and not have to worry about when it gets done or if it will cost more than you thought then I strongly encourage you to give them a shot at earning your business.

WordPress Management Maintenance Checklist

The following is a list of the things that are crucial to keep updated for security and usability purposes in your WordPress website:

WordPress Plug-in Updates
If your website is using any CMS like WordPress, plug-ins need to be updated often, not only to take advantage of new features the plug-in offers, but more importantly to ensure your plug-in works with the current version of your CMS and even more important that it is secure and not vulnerable to website hacks.

WordPress Website Backups
If you do not routinely run backups of your site, especially each time new additions or changes are made, you are taking a big risk that you will be left in the dark if your site is compromised or gets infected with a virus. All of that hard work can be lost if backups are not run routinely as the site gets updates.

WordPress Page Speed Optimization
Page load time is crucial when trying to keep visitors on your site, if your site takes more than a couple of seconds to initially load or if there are lags when visitors navigate page to page in your site, more often than not they will close your site down and move onto the next one. There is nothing more frustrating than slow load times from the end user perspective. Check your website loading speed with Google PageSpeed Insights, here you will be graded for mobile and desktop load time.

Malware Protection
There are many plug-ins and tools to prevent and remove viruses. If you have been notified that your site has the message “This site may harm your computer” in Google results or you think you are already infected or you have received an email from Google webmaster tools that your site is infected, get it fixed asap to prevent the spread of that virus to any users who visit your website.

WordPress Theme Updates
Just when you thought updating the plug-ins on your site was crucial to keep your site secure, you also need to update your site theme each time the developer of your theme puts out an update. The updates contain security updates (as well as new features just like plug-ins) to ensure your site is secure.
