Services
Website maintenance
A website needs care to stay fast, secure and well ranked. I handle updates, backups, security and monitoring for your site, whether it is custom built or runs on WordPress. A third-party provider hosts your website. I configure and manage the hosting on your own accounts, with a domain registered in your name.

Managing your hosting and domain
A third-party provider hosts your website, and your domain is registered in your name on your own accounts. I handle configuration, monitoring and technical management: you retain ownership and access.

I also take over maintenance of existing WordPress sites: core, theme and plugin updates with functional checks, backups, database cleanup and performance tuning.
Is your WordPress site slow, throwing errors or hacked? I diagnose, repair and secure it, then suggest a maintenance plan so it does not happen again.

Frequently asked questions
How much does website maintenance cost?
My plans start at €150 per month for the essentials (updates, backups, security, monitoring). Work outside the plan is billed at €55 per hour.
Why maintain a website?
An unmaintained site becomes vulnerable to hacks, slows down and can lose Google rankings. Maintenance prevents far more expensive repairs.
Do you take over WordPress sites you did not build?
Yes. I start with a health check of the site, then suggest the right plan.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Terms are set out in the maintenance contract, with simple notice to stop.
