Hi, I'm Ben
I keep WordPress sites running smoothly so their owners never have to worry about updates, security, or downtime.
I started maintaining WordPress sites almost by accident. A friend asked me to help after their site got hacked -- a plugin they hadn't updated in months had a known vulnerability. I cleaned it up, locked it down, and realized how many site owners were in the same boat: running a business on WordPress without the time or knowledge to keep it secure.
That one favour turned into a handful of clients, then a dozen, then more than I could count on two hands. What started as helping out friends and local businesses grew into a dedicated maintenance service. I built systems for daily backups, automated security scanning, and staged updates so nothing breaks without warning.
Today, I look after over 150 WordPress sites. The work is the same as it was at the start -- just more of it and with better tools. I still care about the same thing: making sure your site is fast, safe, and online when your customers need it. That's it. No upsells, no jargon, just reliable maintenance from someone who actually answers the phone.
Why Professional Maintenance Matters
WordPress powers over 40% of the web, which makes it the biggest target for automated attacks. Every outdated plugin is a potential entry point. Every skipped core update leaves known vulnerabilities exposed. Most site owners don't find out until something breaks -- or worse, until their customers' data is compromised.
DIY maintenance sounds manageable until a plugin update conflicts with your theme and takes the whole site down on a Friday evening. Or until you realize your backup plugin hasn't actually been running for three months. These aren't hypotheticals -- they're the exact situations I fix every week.
Professional maintenance means staged updates tested before they go live, daily backups verified and stored off-site, 24/7 uptime monitoring, and someone who notices performance degradation before your visitors do. It's the difference between reacting to problems and preventing them.
