WordPress Maintenance and Support
Keep Your WordPress Website Secure, Updated and Running Smoothly
EBC Designs creates bespoke, responsive and SEO-ready websites for businesses throughout the UK. From professional brochure websites to advanced WooCommerce stores, we design and develop websites that look distinctive, perform reliably and help turn visitors into customers.
With over 19 years of experience, we provide everything your business needs under one roof, including website design, WordPress development, ecommerce, hosting, maintenance and ongoing SEO support.
Keep Your WordPress Website Working as It Should
A WordPress website needs regular attention to remain secure, reliable and compatible with the latest software. Plugins, themes and WordPress itself are updated frequently, and ignoring those updates can lead to security weaknesses, broken features, slow performance or unexpected website errors.
Our WordPress maintenance service gives you ongoing technical support without the need to manage everything yourself. We carry out essential updates, monitor the health of your website, check that key features are working and help resolve problems when they arise.
This means less time worrying about your website and more time focusing on your business.
Does Your Website Need Hosting or Ongoing Maintenance?
WordPress hosting and WordPress maintenance are related services, but they are not the same.
Hosting provides the server space and technical infrastructure needed to keep your website online. Maintenance involves actively looking after the WordPress website itself, including updates, monitoring, checks and technical support.

Larger requests such as new pages, redesign work, ecommerce product uploads, custom development, major fault repairs or extensive content changes will be quoted separately before any work begins.
How We Look After Your WordPress Website
1. Initial Website Review
We begin by reviewing your WordPress installation, hosting environment, theme, plugins, security setup and overall website health. This helps us identify any existing issues before ongoing maintenance begins.
2. Backup and Protection
We make sure suitable backups are in place before carrying out updates or technical work. This gives us a safe recovery point if something unexpected happens.
3. Careful Updates
WordPress core files, plugins and themes are updated in a controlled way. We also check the website afterwards to make sure important pages, forms and features continue to work correctly.
4. Ongoing Monitoring
We monitor website uptime, security, performance and general health so that potential problems can be identified before they become more serious.
5. Priority Support
When you need help, you have direct access to EBC Designs for troubleshooting, minor amendments and WordPress-related support.

Website Repair Before Ongoing Maintenance
WordPress Maintenance FAQs
What is WordPress website maintenance?
WordPress maintenance is the ongoing technical care required to keep a website secure, updated, reliable and functioning correctly. It can include software updates, backups, security monitoring, performance checks, troubleshooting and minor website amendments.
Why does my WordPress website need regular maintenance?
What is included in your WordPress maintenance plan?
How much does WordPress maintenance cost?
Our managed WordPress maintenance and support service starts from £140 per month. The final cost depends on the size, complexity and functionality of the website.
Larger WooCommerce, membership, booking or custom websites may require a tailored monthly plan.
Is website hosting included?
Hosting and maintenance are separate services.
WordPress hosting keeps your website online and provides the server infrastructure, SSL certificate and server-level support. Maintenance involves actively managing the WordPress website itself.
We can provide both services, but they are priced separately.
Do you update WordPress plugins and themes?
Will my website be backed up?
Yes. Suitable website backups are an important part of our maintenance service.
Backups provide a recovery point if an update, plugin conflict or technical problem causes an issue with the website.
What happens if an update breaks my website?
We will investigate the problem and work to restore the website or resolve the conflict.
Where appropriate, we may restore a backup, roll back an update or identify an alternative solution. Problems caused by outdated, unsupported or heavily customised software may require additional quoted work.
Are website content changes included?
The plan includes up to one hour of minor website amendments each month.
This can include changing text, replacing supplied images, updating contact details, adjusting links, adding supplied content or making small changes to existing pages.
Unused time does not roll over into the following month.
What work is not included in the monthly plan?
The maintenance plan does not normally include:
- New page design and development
- Full website redesigns
- Custom plugin development
- Large ecommerce
- product uploads
- Extensive content entry
- SEO campaigns
- Major website repairs
- Malware recovery from an existing infection
- Problems caused by unsupported custom code
We will always explain and quote for additional work before proceeding.
Can you maintain a WordPress website you did not build?
Yes, in many cases we can take over the maintenance of a website created by another designer or agency.
We will first carry out an initial review to check the condition of the website, its software, hosting environment and existing functionality.
Do you support WooCommerce websites?
Can you repair an existing WordPress problem?
Yes. We can investigate issues such as broken layouts, plugin conflicts, failed updates, contact form problems, WooCommerce errors and slow performance.
Repair work is usually quoted separately from the monthly maintenance plan.
Is there a minimum contract?
The maintenance agreement, payment terms and notice period will be confirmed before the service begins.
This ensures both parties are clear about what is included and how the service will operate.
How quickly will you respond to support requests?
Maintenance clients receive priority support.
Response times depend on the urgency and complexity of the issue. Business-critical problems will always be prioritised, although the service is not advertised as 24-hour emergency support.
Can you guarantee my website will never be hacked or experience a problem?
No responsible WordPress provider can guarantee that a website will never experience a security issue, software conflict or technical failure.
Regular maintenance significantly reduces risk and helps ensure that problems can be identified, investigated and resolved more quickly.
