WordPress Website Maintenance & Updates

Security updates, backups, monitoring, and proactive improvements — handled.

Isn’t WordPress amazing? Instead of printing zillions of brochures, phone books, postcards, and other collateral that inevitably goes out of date and needs reprinting, you can simply update your website! All this magic does require a certain amount of website maintenance from time to time, though.

Every plan includes protection when it matters most. If a critical WordPress vulnerability impacts your site, we’ll apply the fix as soon as we’re aware of it — no extra request needed. Maintenance clients also receive a discounted hourly rate for additional improvements and updates.

Our maintenance plans are available to anyone with a WordPress site; current Austin Web Design clients, past clients, and pretty much anyone who wants to make sure their website is as functional and protected as possible.
