Website Maintenance & Care Plans

A website isn’t “set and forget” — it’s a living asset that needs regular attention. From plugin updates to backups and security monitoring, ongoing maintenance ensures your site remains fast, secure, and performing at its best.

Website Management & Updates

At Alban Creative, our website maintenance services take the burden off your shoulders. We keep your site working smoothly behind the scenes, so you can focus on running your business — not wrestling with updates or unexpected downtime.

The WordPress platform (and the wider web) is constantly evolving — and so are the threats and technical requirements. Without updates, your site risks becoming slow, broken, or vulnerable to hacks. A single overlooked plugin can compromise your entire website.

Key Benefits of Proactive Website Maintenance:

  • Security protection — regular WordPress and plugin updates close vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.

  • Maximized uptime — we detect and fix problems quickly so your site stays live and accessible.

  • Consistent performance — cached pages, optimised images, and clean code keep your site fast and user-friendly.

  • Content reliability — every post and page displays as intended thanks to compatibility checks.

  • Peace of mind — comprehensive backups and monitoring mean you’re always covered, even if something goes wrong.
