WordPress maintenance: updates, backups and security in safe hands

The monthly cost depends on the number of plugins, store features, update interval, response times and change allowance; you receive an individual quote based on scope. A one-time takeover with cleanup and stabilization can fall under the Starter package from €2,500, depending on effort. We quote maintenance contracts with fixed response times and reporting individually in the Enterprise package.

At a minimum: update interval, scope and retention of backups, monitoring, response times for incidents and an allowance for changes. It should also specify who manages access and how incidents are reported. We define these points together and document them in plain language.

Outdated plugins and themes are a common entry point for attacks on WordPress websites. Without maintenance, there is also a greater risk that an update made too late brings many changes at once and breaks the website. Regular care keeps security, load time and functionality stable.

Security updates should be installed promptly as soon as they are released. For all other updates, a fixed rhythm has proven its worth, such as weekly or monthly, depending on how important the website is and how many plugins it uses. We set the right rhythm in the maintenance contract.

Yes. We first review plugins, theme, server and security and tell you openly what condition the website is in. Then we stabilize it and take over ongoing maintenance – or recommend a relaunch if that makes more economic sense.

After the free initial consultation, we receive access to WordPress, hosting and domain and carry out the WordPress check. Then we clean up the installation and start ongoing maintenance on the agreed schedule. Depending on the condition of the website, the onboarding phase usually takes a few days to a few weeks.
