WordPress maintenance and support
WordPress maintenance with a clear plan.
We help manage updates, backups and checks of your essential website functions. Maintenance and support are scoped after a review of your site, and the first step is a free check from the outside.

A practical scope
Keep the important parts working.
The plan is tailored to your WordPress site and the functions you rely on. Before work begins, we define the tasks, check frequency, responsibilities and support boundaries.
01
Updates with a rollback plan
We plan WordPress, theme and plugin updates with a backup and a recovery procedure. Sensitive changes are tested in an agreed test environment.
02
Backups and recovery checks
We agree how backups are created and retained, and how recovery is tested in a separate environment. Essential site functions are checked after a restore.
See our WordPress backup restore test for a documented local example, the results of its checks and the limits of what it proves.
03
Watch what matters
The scope covers agreed availability checks, basic security checks and tests of important functions, such as enquiry forms or user sign-in.
Speed and accessibility can be part of the agreed scope: page weight and loading times, contrast, labels and tap target size. On igrice.hr the largest element (LCP) on a game page went from 5.95 s to 1.02 s on a slow mobile connection (measured on 4 November 2026). The Croatian web index shows how Croatian websites score on speed and accessibility.

04
Change records and support
We record changes, checks and open issues. The plan defines how to report a problem and separates ongoing maintenance from new work.
Our WordPress maintenance checklist explains what a maintenance plan should check before and after each update.
Before a plan
First, we review the actual site.
Maintenance is shaped by the site’s risk, plugins, integrations, traffic and who can approve changes.
01
Inventory
We identify the environment, plugins, integrations and critical user journeys. We review existing backups and who approves changes.
02
Agree the scope
We agree the checks, included work, communication and priorities. Scope, pricing and response commitments are confirmed before the engagement starts.
03
Delivery and reporting
We check agreed functions after changes and record the results. Reporting explains what was completed and what still needs attention.
Before we start
Questions about WordPress maintenance.
The scope and working process should be clear before the first change to your site.
01
Can you take over an existing WordPress website?
We start by reviewing the site, plugins, hosting and backup process. If separate repairs are needed before ongoing maintenance can begin, we identify them in the initial scope.
02
How is WordPress maintenance priced?
Pricing depends on the condition of the site, plugins and integrations, critical user journeys and the agreed support scope. The review helps define the work, check frequency and billing arrangement. For a smaller WordPress site the starting point is monthly protection for €28 + VAT a month (€35 incl. VAT): updates with a backup, a monthly security and SEO check and uptime monitoring.
03
Does maintenance include new features?
The proposal separates routine maintenance, fixes and new development. Redesigns, substantial content changes, new integrations and migrations are scoped separately. For a new website, see website development. Tell us what you need by email.
04
What about hosting and plugin licences?
We agree who manages hosting, the domain and licences, and who covers their costs. Existing contracts and dependencies are reviewed before changes are made.
Before comparing providers, use our WordPress hosting checklist to clarify resources, backups, recovery, support and renewal costs.
05
How do support and issue reporting work?
We agree the reporting channel, support hours, priorities and response times in advance. For an existing problem, tell us what has stopped working, when it began and which business tasks are affected.
Next step
Start with a review of your website.
Share your website address, the main problem and the functions your business depends on. Access arrangements can follow after the initial enquiry. If you would like to see where your site stands first, request a free check.
