Our team offers a variety of solutions for WordPress website managers and owners.
These solutions are, in most all cases, created specifically for a single unique organization. Principally, the three solutions (Management, Maintenance, and Support) are very similar and meet many of the same needs for an organization managing a WordPress website.
Distinction of Maintenance, Support and Management
When it comes to the differences between these three solutions, it is important to understand what each of them entails.
Maintenance
WordPress maintenance (typically offered as maintenance plans) are structured to keep your organization’s WordPress website up-to-date and secure at all times.
This service typically includes regular updates of WordPress core files, themes, plugins and any other software used on your website. This core service also often includes scheduled security checks for malicious code or malicious users trying to gain access.
Typical WordPress maintenance tasks:
- Updating WordPress plugins and themes
- Maintaining basic security plugins to protect the site
- Monitoring site for problems and ensuring strong site health
- Installing or configuring basic plugins for essential site functionality
Maintenance plans might also include a basic level of monitoring so that you can be alerted if there are any issues with your site – such as slow loading pages, downtime, or sudden spikes in traffic.
