FAQs

“How much does WordPress maintenance cost in the UK?“

Monthly WordPress maintenance typically ranges from £50 to £400+ depending on what’s included. Budget plans often cover basic updates and backups only. Our plans start at £90/month and include hosting, security scanning, and hands-on support – not just automated scripts.

“Is website maintenance worth paying for?”

For most small businesses, yes. The average cost of recovering a hacked WordPress site in the UK runs into thousands of pounds in lost time, reputation damage, and technical recovery work. A monthly maintenance plan is considerably cheaper than dealing with the fallout of an unmaintained site.

“What’s included in a WordPress maintenance plan?”

That depends on the provider – and it’s worth asking. Our Essential plan includes UK hosting, manually reviewed plug in and theme updates, daily backups, malware scanning, and SSL monitoring. Higher plans add performance monitoring, Google Search Console checks, and direct access to us for priority support.

“Can I just maintain my WordPress site myself?”

You can – but most business owners find the time cost isn’t worth it. Keeping on top of plug in updates, security patches, backups, and performance monitoring is a regular job. Our clients typically hand this over because they’d rather spend that time running their business.
