Website Maintenance

A website that is not maintained becomes slow, insecure and expensive to fix. we provide website maintenance for small and medium sized businesses that need their WordPress or custom PHP site kept up to date, backed up and working.

Based in Paphos, with more than 25 years of UK web development experience, we look after the technical work so you can keep using the site without surprises.

Why Website Maintenance Matters

Plugins, themes, PHP versions and browsers change. Forms break. Software needs updates. Backups only help if they actually restore. Maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps a live site usable: security patches, software updates, monitoring, small content changes and performance checks. It is cheaper than rebuilding a neglected site after something fails.

What Our Website Maintenance Covers

  • WordPress core, theme and plugin updates, applied carefully rather than blindly
  • Security monitoring, malware checks and hardening of common weak points
  • Scheduled backups and periodic restore tests so backups are not just a file on a server
  • Uptime and basic error checks so problems are noticed before customers report them
  • Performance reviews: page speed, bloated plugins, oversized images and unused scripts
  • Small content and layout updates you do not have time to do yourself
  • Support for custom PHP applications and MySQL-backed sites, not only WordPress
  • Advice when a change is a quick fix versus a development task

WordPress Website Maintenance

Most SME websites we maintain are WordPress. The risk on WordPress is not the platform itself – it is neglected updates, unused plugins, weak logins and hosts that are never reviewed. Maintenance keeps the install current, removes what is no longer needed, and stops the admin area turning into a pile of unresolved warnings.

  • Core, theme and plugin updates with a check that key pages and forms still work
  • User accounts and roles reviewed so old staff logins do not stay active
  • Spam comments, abandoned plugins and unused themes removed
  • SSL, login protection and sensible security plugins where they add real value
  • Guidance when a plugin or theme is no longer safe to keep

Custom PHP and MySQL Site Maintenance

Custom sites still need care. PHP versions age out. Libraries need updates. Databases grow. Forms and login areas need occasional fixes. We maintain PHP applications and MySQL databases we have built, and we can take on existing custom sites after a review of the codebase and hosting.

  • PHP and server compatibility checks
  • Bug fixes in forms, dashboards and business tools
  • MySQL performance and backup routines
  • Small feature adjustments that do not require a full rebuild

Content and Small Change Support

Maintenance is not only software. Businesses need hours, prices, team pages, seasonal offers and service descriptions kept current. If you prefer not to edit the site yourself, we can handle routine content updates as part of an agreed maintenance arrangement. Larger redesigns or new features are scoped separately as development work.

What Maintenance Does Not Include

Ongoing care is not the same as a new website. A maintenance plan does not usually cover a full redesign, a new custom application, ecommerce builds, or major new functionality. Those are project work. We keep the line clear so you know what is included and what needs a separate quote.

Frequently asked questions?

How often should a WordPress site be updated?

Security and plugin updates should be reviewed regularly, not once a year. The exact schedule depends on how many plugins you run and how critical the site is. Leaving everything for six months is how sites get hacked or break on the next PHP upgrade.

Do you only maintain WordPress?

No. WordPress is the most common request, but we also maintain custom PHP and MySQL sites, including applications that use vanilla JavaScript on the front end.

What if the site goes down?

Maintenance includes keeping an eye on availability and investigating errors. Hosting outages still depend on the host, but we help identify whether the problem is the server, a plugin, a failed update or something in the application.

Arrange Website Maintenance

If your WordPress or PHP site needs regular updates, backups you can trust, or someone to handle the technical work, send the site address and a short note on what is going wrong or what you want covered. We will review it and tell you whether a cleanup, a maintenance plan, or a rebuild is the sensible next step.
