Website management
Most sites do not fail dramatically. They decay — an unpatched plugin, an expired certificate, a form that stopped sending. Management is the work that prevents that.
What this is
Website management covers updates, backups, monitoring, security and the small fixes that otherwise pile up. It exists so the site you invested in still works six months later.
Updates are tested before they are applied. Backups are verified by restoring them. Monitoring covers uptime, performance and form delivery, because a silently broken contact form is the most expensive failure a site can have.
Problems it solves
- Nobody is certain when the site was last backed up, or whether the backup works.
- Plugin updates are postponed because the last one broke a page.
- The site went down and the first to notice was a customer.
- Performance has drifted and no one owns it.

Questions about this service
Monitoring alerts us, we investigate, and you receive an explanation of the cause and the fix. Response expectations are agreed in advance rather than improvised.
Yes. We start with an audit so both sides know the condition of what we are taking on.
Yes. A backup that lives only on the server it protects is not a backup, and we test restores rather than assuming they work.
