Importance of WordPress care

Why regular WordPress maintenance is so crucial

Your website shouldn't be something you only think about when it breaks. WordPress websites need ongoing attention. Plugins become outdated, vulnerabilities are discovered, backups need checking and small problems can turn into much bigger ones.

WordPress, plugins and themes all receive updates. Keeping them current helps with security, compatibility and the general health of your website.

A backup matters most when something has already gone wrong. Regular backups give us a way back if a website needs to be recovered.

WordPress sites face ongoing security threats. Regular monitoring helps identify suspicious activity and vulnerabilities early, so issues are investigated before they become more serious.

Not every website problem results in a big error message. Having somebody regularly responsible for the site means it isn’t simply left until a customer reports a problem.

REAL STORIES. REAL RESULTS.

Our business is fully protected and looked after. The support and care means we don’t have to worry about the website and the maintenance that comes with it. It allows us to pass that responsibility on to a really trusted partner.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Luke. He listened and took on board everything we needed for our website both in how it should look and operate but especially when it came to the woocommerce section which was complicated.  He made it easy to use and has and continues to help us improve as things change.  Its taken all the stress away so we can concentrate on our customers and we have peace of mind that its being monitored and well looked after. Thanks Luke.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been with Patrick internet for a number of years now and they have never, ever failed to resolve any of the problems extremely quickly.

In particular I had the following problem recently that was really my fault as I created code that caused my mailbox post email to Yahoo  to identify and class it as Spam.

This has now been resolved once I fixed the code and Yahoo email is now being correctly to the Yahoo Inbox.

In summary the following is what I posted and  unfortunately waisted Patrick Internets time.

Ticket  in summary below this line.
##########################

I have carried out the following checks:

SPF: PASS
DKIM: PASS
DMARC: PASS
Outgoing server IP: 185.151.28.66
MXToolbox blacklist check: Listed on NoSolicitado (1 out of 60 blacklists checked)
Spamhaus, SpamCop and Barracuda: Clear
Could you please investigate:

Whether the outgoing IP address has any reputation or deliverability issues.
Whether the NoSolicitado blacklist listing requires attention.
Whether there are any known delivery issues between your mail servers and Yahoo Mail.
Whether any server-side corrective action is required.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If Google gave out medals for “making my business look good online,” Patrick Internet would be standing on the podium by now.

Patrick Internet built the location‑based SEO website for BDC Structural Engineering Ltd, and the results speak for themselves. We went from “Where are you on Google?” to “Oh wow, you’re everywhere.” Clients find us easily, the site actually makes sense (a miracle in itself), and I no longer have to pretend I understand SEO at dinner parties.

Patrick Internet somehow manages to explain complicated internet wizardry in plain English, is ridiculously responsive, and clearly cares about getting real results, not just ticking digital boxes.

If you want a website that works harder than you do and quietly brings in business while you sleep, Chris and Luke are your guys.

Highly recommended… and yes, I’d still say this even if he wasn’t my friend 😉

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a cynical person, I’ve always thought SEO was the “healing crystals” of marketing. It’s just a load of nonsense. I’m never going to rank above my biggest competitors, so put your magic beans away, they don’t do anything.

Luke took the time to calmly and patiently educate me about SEO, from a position of expert knowledge. He advised me on a new approach to SEO, focused on localised search results, rather than trying to be the first name on google for “video”.

Game changer.

With Luke, I’ve developed and deployed a series of SEO pages focused on specific regions of Bristol, curated for my local target market.

Luke led through the whole process on what to include, like content, maps, web forms etc, and generated all the written copy based on a comprehensive and thorough research stage. He was also completely cool about integrating my existing web dev into the project.

As a result of this, I now have a professional web presence for the first time in 10 years of business. Local leads can find me easier, and Luke’s played a critical role in helping me develop a proper sales funnel.

Luke is a very intelligent, capable, and friendly business owner. SEO is not just a load of “chakras” nonsense, and I can highly recommend Patrick Internet to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In July 2024 we made the decision to try Luke’s local website SEO after he delivered a very impressive presentation.  It was reasonably priced, and Blossom HR had not tried SEO so we thought “why not!”  We have been absolutely delighted with the project and the service we have received.  Luke has been a joy to work with; he is responsive, very experienced in this area and goes the extra mile to ensure that the SEO works effectively.

It took a few months to start working (which Luke advised us) but over the last 3 months we have started to receive some great website referrals, many of which have converted to brilliant clients for us.  We recently purchased additional locations and plan add to our portfolio even more over the following months.

I will be recommending Luke and Patrick Internet whenever the opportunity arises and would like to thank Luke again for supporting Blossom HR over the last year.  We look forward to working with you going forward.

Looking after your WordPress website

How we maintain your WordPress website

The aim isn't for you to spend more time thinking about WordPress. It's for somebody else to be paying attention to it.
We'll take care of the routine work involved in maintaining your website and keep an eye out for issues that need attention.

We monitor

We keep watch over the areas covered by your maintenance plan, including things such as uptime, security and website health.

We maintain

WordPress, plugins and themes need regular attention. We manage updates rather than leaving them to build up indefinitely.

We protect

Backups and security measures give us options if something goes wrong and help reduce unnecessary risk.

We respond

If something covered by your plan needs attention, there's a team behind the website who can investigate and apply fixes.

Is maintenance right for you?

For websites that are important enough to look after properly.

Most businesses don't need another system to manage. They need to know that their website is being kept up to date, backed up and checked by someone who understands how it works.

That might be because your website brings in enquiries, because nobody in your team has time to manage WordPress, or because the site has become more important to the business than it was when it first launched.

It doesn't matter who built it. We can look after WordPress websites created by other developers and agencies too.

A simple way to think about it
If your website would cause a problem for the business if it stopped working, it is worth having somebody responsible for maintaining it.

     EXCELLENT

Already have a WordPress Website?

We can take over the maintenance of an existing WordPress website.

You don't need to have had your website designed by Patrick Internet.

If another developer built it, the original agency is no longer involved or you've simply been maintaining it yourself, we can take a look at the current setup before bringing it under one of our maintenance plans.

We'll first need to understand what is running on the website and whether there are any existing issues that need dealing with.

Frequently asked questions

Can you maintain a WordPress website you didn't build?

Yes. Your website doesn't need to have been built by Patrick Internet. We'll first look at the existing setup, understand what's running on the site and identify anything that may need attention before ongoing maintenance begins.

What does WordPress maintenance include?

That depends on the plan you choose. Our maintenance packages cover different levels of ongoing care, including areas such as WordPress updates, plugin and theme updates, backups, security monitoring and website health. You can compare the plans above to see exactly what's included.

What happens if an update causes a problem?

Updates can occasionally conflict with plugins, themes or other parts of a website. Having ongoing maintenance means there is a team familiar with your website that can investigate when something doesn't behave as expected, rather than leaving you to work it out yourself.

Do I need to host my website with Patrick Internet?

No. We can maintain WordPress websites hosted elsewhere. If you choose to host with us as well, it does mean your hosting and maintenance can both be looked after by the same team.

Will you make changes to my website as part of maintenance?

Maintenance is primarily about keeping the existing website healthy, updated and protected. Design changes, new pages or larger development work may sit outside your maintenance plan, but you can always speak to us when you need something changed.

Will you make changes to my website as part of maintenance?

Which maintenance plan do I need?

Your WordPress site can be looked after and hosted more sustainably too.

We're committed to a sustainable future. That's why our hosting is powered by 100% renewable energy, reducing our carbon footprint and yours.
