Stop hackers targeting your website
Without regular updates to WordPress CMS and Plugins your website is a sitting duck for hackers who use free software to scour the internet for vulnerable sites. WordPress is vigilant about keeping its software secure and its millions of users protected. But you can’t shield websites from attacks unless you regularly install and apply the WordPress updates. When you outsource WordPress support to us you’re fixing the problem before it starts, and you will receive a monthly report so they know which updates have been applied.

Offer the best possible user experience
If you are running an outdated version of WordPress, visitors to your website may encounter a less than optimal experience creating frustrations which damage theirs and your business reputation. Without regular attention from our WP maintenance service you may never know about these problems until diminishing traffic sends up a red flag. Regular WordPress updates continually preempts user experience issues and contributes to Client retention.
So why not do this yourself? You could try but you’re probably pushed for time and at some point that you will find the updates break the website so it no longer functions correctly. With Heer WP Maintain’s outsourcing service for WordPress, you can be assured that we will try to fix the problem, and if we can’t we will roll the updates back and recommend a new plugin which will do the same job.
In most cases it should be relatively straightforward to implement a core, theme or plugin update without incurring an additional charge. In those cases where the fix is more time consuming we will provide a quote and you can decide if you want to go ahead. Most implementations shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours.

FAQ’s
Will I pay any extra charges if the site breaks after update?
In most cases, no – but in some cases such as a custom theme/ unsupported theme which has not been correctly set-up, or where we will need to install and configure a new plugin, a small charge may apply. Our hourly rate is £60 per hour and a new plugin would normally take 2 hrs or less.
Which Security/ Malware Detection plugins do you use?
If not already installed on the site, we will install the free version of Wordfence security. This plugin is designed to detect if a WordPress website has been compromised by hackers. We will also install the free iThemes Security plugin as an additional security measure.
What happens if the site gets hacked?
We will let you know immediately and request your permission to rollback to a previous version of the website from the back-ups. We will then identify what needs to be done to secure the site further from vulnerabilities. This may involve additional costs such as subscription to a stronger security plugin or other measures which will be detailed in a quote and you can decide if you want to go ahead.
Do you guarantee that my Clients websites won’t be hacked?
No service of this type can make such a guarantee, although by applying regular updates you will make the life of hackers much more difficult. See our terms and conditions for the details of what is covered.
What happens if my Clients hosting server goes down?
We will send you an email if your host is down for more than 2 hrs so you can contact them and get the situation resolved, minimising the impact on your customers.
Do you offer hosting services?
No we do not offer hosting services at this time
Can I request back-up of copies of the site anytime?
Yes you can, and there is no charge for this unless the frequency of requests is higher than normal. A fair usage policy applies.
What do I do if I discover a problem with the website and suspect it is something to do with an update?
Usually this shouldn’t happen as we test all updates in a staging environment first, but if you do think an issue has occurred please contact the helpdesk. We will respond within 24 hrs.
