Website Maintenance & Security
Website maintenance and security covers the ongoing work that keeps a site running safely and quickly — updates, backups, monitoring, and fixes — instead of waiting for something to break. For sites with automations, this includes monitoring the n8n workflows themselves, not just the website.
This fits businesses that don't have the time or in-house expertise to track WordPress core updates, plugin vulnerabilities, and backup schedules themselves, and would rather have it handled on a predictable monthly basis than discover a problem after it's already caused downtime. It also fits a business running n8n automations that has no way of knowing when one silently stops working.
What You Get
- Core, plugin, and theme updates on a regular schedule, not left until something breaks
- Automated backups with a tested restore procedure, checked rather than assumed to work
- Uptime and security monitoring with alerts sent as soon as something looks wrong
- Performance and speed optimization, reviewed periodically rather than a one-time fix
- Automation health checks and error alerts, for sites with n8n workflows in place
- A fixed monthly care plan — one predictable cost, not per-incident billing
- Priority response for urgent issues, ahead of the regular queue (the "First Aid" offer)
A Plugin Vulnerability: Without vs With a Care Plan
Without a care plan
- Update sits unappliedweeks
- Vulnerability goes unnoticedongoing
- Site compromised—
- Emergency fix, no tested backupdays
Total: Extended downtime (typical, no plan)
With a care plan
- Update applied on scheduledays
- Security monitored continuouslyongoing
- Backup already tested and ready—
Total: Issue prevented (typical, with plan)
Care plans start with a short audit of the current site (updates outstanding, backup status, monitoring gaps), then move to a fixed monthly schedule. No multi-week build process — this is ongoing, not a one-off project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the "First Aid" offer?
First Aid is priority response for an urgent issue — a hacked site, a broken checkout, a site that's down — handled ahead of the regular maintenance queue. It's part of the care plan rather than a separate emergency call-out fee.
Do you monitor automations too, not just the website?
Yes. If FixMyWeb Solutions built or maintains your n8n workflows, the care plan can include health checks and error alerts for those too, so a failed automation doesn't sit unnoticed the way a broken webhook easily can.
How often are updates applied?
On a regular schedule agreed during onboarding, with backups taken before any update and a tested restore procedure in place in case something needs to be rolled back. The exact cadence depends on the site — a low-traffic brochure site and a store taking orders every day don't need the same schedule.
