WordPress Maintenance

WordPress maintenance, so breakage never reaches customers.

I keep your site updated, backed up, monitored, and fast, on a schedule, with restores actually tested. You run the business; I make sure the site never becomes the emergency.

What it costs

Three plans. Billed yearly. Cancel at renewal.

Every plan covers the basics that prevent emergencies. The tiers differ in how fast I respond, how many hands-on hours you get each month, and how much of the site is watched.

Care

Care

For brochure sites and blogs that must simply stay up

₹30,000 $369per year
  • Monthly core, theme, and plugin updates, tested before going live
  • Daily off-site backups with a restore test every quarter
  • Uptime and security monitoring with alerts
  • 1 hands-on hour per month for small fixes and tweaks
  • Response within one business day
Start on Care

Best for sites that change a few times a month.

Growth

Growth

For revenue sites where downtime and slowdowns cost real money

₹90,000 $1,079per year
  • Weekly updates, tested on staging before going live
  • Daily off-site backups with a restore test every month
  • Uptime, security, and Core Web Vitals monitoring
  • 3 hands-on hours per month for fixes and improvements
  • Malware cleanup included if anything gets through
  • Response within 8 working hours
Start on Growth

The plan most business sites should pick.

Agency

Agency

For stores and high-traffic sites where every hour offline is expensive

₹1,50,000 $1,799per year
  • Weekly updates with staging tests and planned maintenance windows
  • Daily off-site backups with a restore test every month
  • Uptime, security, performance, and checkout-flow monitoring
  • 6 hands-on hours per month, usable for development work
  • Malware cleanup and emergency restores included
  • Response within 4 working hours, first in the queue
Start on Agency

One site per plan; additional sites quoted separately.

All prices include GST.

How this runs

You will know the price and the plan before I touch anything.

1

Audit

Onboarding starts with a review of your plugins, backups, security, and speed. Anything risky gets flagged and fixed before the routine begins.

You leave with: a clean, known starting point.

2

Stabilize

I patch the obvious holes, set up monitoring and tested off-site backups, and record a performance baseline so future drift is visible.

You leave with: monitoring that actually alerts.

3

Maintain

Updates, security scans, backups, and performance checks run on schedule. Anything risky gets tested on staging before it touches production.

You leave with: a site that stays current without drama.

4

Report

Every month you get a plain-language report: what was updated, what was caught, and what I recommend improving next. No jargon, no padding.

You leave with: a paper trail you can read in two minutes.

A note from me

How I run maintenance

The best maintenance is invisible: the update that didn’t break anything, the vulnerability patched before it was exploited, the backup that restored cleanly the one time it mattered.

I treat every update as a change to be tested, not a chore to be clicked. That’s the difference between maintenance and update roulette.

And restore tests are on the calendar, because a backup that’s never been restored is just hope on a schedule.

Before you write in

This isn’t for every site.

Worth starting

  • Your site brings in revenue or leads and nobody on the team owns updates and backups.
  • You’ve had a bad update, a hack, or an outage you found out about too late.
  • The site runs a dozen or more plugins on a custom or heavily configured theme.
  • You want one accountable person, not a ticket queue at a faceless service.
  • You’d rather pay for prevention than for emergency cleanup at panic prices.

Look elsewhere

  • Your budget is under ₹30,000 a year. Turn on auto-updates and a backup plugin; it’s a gamble, but it’s free.
  • Your site is static HTML. There’s almost nothing to maintain; uptime monitoring alone would do.
  • You want unlimited development hours inside a maintenance plan. Hours are capped per tier and I say so upfront.
  • You need 24/7 phone support. I work in defined response windows, not a call center.
  • You switch providers every quarter. Maintenance pays off over years, not weeks.

If you want to:

  • Stop fearing updates they’re tested before going live
  • Survive the bad day with a restore that’s been rehearsed
  • Know within minutes when something breaks, not next morning

Common questions

Not answered here? Ask directly and you will hear back within 24 hours.

Care is ₹30,000 per year, Growth is ₹90,000 per year, and Agency is ₹1,50,000 per year, and every price includes GST. The tiers differ by response time (one business day down to 4 working hours), monthly hands-on hours (1 to 6), and how much of the site is monitored.

Small fixes, content tweaks, plugin configuration, and minor improvements you request. On Agency they can go toward development work too. Hours don’t roll over month to month, and anything bigger gets a separate quote before I start.

Yes. On Care, updates are applied monthly with checks after each one. On Growth and Agency, risky updates run on staging first, so a bad plugin release never gets a shot at your live site.

On Growth and Agency, malware cleanup and restoration are included, and recent tested backups make recovery fast. On Care, cleanup is quoted separately, though the hardening and monitoring in every plan make it an unlikely event. I won’t pretend the risk is zero.

Because maintenance proves itself over a year, not a month: the quiet weeks are the product. Yearly billing keeps the price lower than equivalent monthly retainers and means one renewal decision, which you’re free to decline. Nothing renews without your say.

About me

So, who’s watching your site?

Everything I would put on your site is running on mine first.

Care clients get the same stack I trust with my own traffic: GT Performance, Cloudflare, Redis, Hetzner.

I was a teacher before I was a developer. I taught mathematics to competitive-exam students, which is why I explain hard things plainly instead of hiding behind jargon.

What I am actually good at is the join: technical SEO, fast front-ends, and content treated as one system instead of three vendors blaming each other.

  • Author of GT Performance, my own caching engine
  • Hardening proven on my own production sites
  • Plugins on 10,000+ sites
  • WordPress Core contributor
  • 850+ clients since 2008
  • Building for the web since 2008

Tell me what the site does for your business.

Describe the site, the stack, and what a day offline would cost you. I’ll recommend the right tier and set the onboarding date.
