Read moreWordPress maintenance – updates and backups so the site stays up
WordPress maintenance exists because of one thing: a site nobody updates gets broken into. Plugin and core updates, a backup that has actually been restored at least once, and the small fixes in between. Higher tiers also cover publishing your articles and running your Google Business Profile. From €85 net per month.
Want WordPress to run without you in the loop?
You focus on the business. I handle publishing, the technical side and security.
Writing articles but unsure how to publish them for SEO?Pasting the text onto the page is not enough. I add schema markup, the meta title and description, and sort out the headings and the slug – so Google has a reason to show your content higher.
Afraid to update plugins in case something breaks?An out-of-date WordPress and out-of-date plugins are a security and stability risk. I run updates with a backup taken first – if something breaks, I restore the site and find the cause. You do not have to think about it.
Expired API keys, a broken Instagram feed or map?API keys expire, plugins stop syncing, forms quietly stop sending. Technical care means I watch for that and fix it before you notice.
If that sounds familiar, WordPress maintenance takes the technical side off your plate – you write, I publish, optimize and keep it all running.
What WordPress maintenance covers
Publishing articles with SEO in mindYou send a finished article – I format it, add schema markup, the meta title and description, and sort the headings and slug. Images get compressed, converted to WebP and properly named. The site grows in Google without your involvement.
WordPress and plugin updatesRegular core, theme and plugin updates, with a backup before every change. If something goes wrong I restore the working version and find out why.
Technical care: APIs, integrations, backupsI keep an eye on expiring API keys (Instagram, maps, forms), monitor security and take regular backups. I act before you notice anything is off.
Who WordPress maintenance is for
This makes sense when:
- you write blog articles but do not want to deal with technical SEO (schema, meta, slugs),
- you have a WordPress site and want someone updating and watching it regularly,
- you are wary of updating plugins yourself, because a broken site is a real risk,
- you want one person looking after both the site and the Google Business Profile,
- the site came from another developer – after a short audit I can take it over.
It fits small business owners who want the site actively bringing in customers, without getting into the technical details.
Something else fits better when:
- the site is not on WordPress (Next.js or Astro – see website maintenance instead),
- you only need a one-off emergency fix, a white screen for instance – I quote that ad hoc,
- the site needs a full refresh – then it is better to start with a new one.
If your site is dated and needs a redesign, I can propose a new one in Next.js or Astro – faster, better optimized and easier to maintain.

"Working with Michał was pleasant and very fast. It started with going through what I needed and expected from the website, then came the design, and from the design to the site going live took literally a few days. He listens carefully and turns the client requirements into finished solutions, often suggesting what else could be added so the result brings the most benefit. I recommend this company with full confidence and will be back with other projects!"

Frequently asked questions about WordPress maintenance
What does WordPress maintenance cost?
Technical care (updates, backups, fixes) starts at €85 net per month. Active site, which adds publishing articles with SEO, starts at €150, and Full online care with the Google Business Profile at €320. The final figure depends on how big the site is and what state it is in – for larger sites we agree the scope case by case. Billed monthly, invoiced in PLN.
Will you look after a WordPress site you did not build?
Yes, after a short technical audit I can take it over. I check the state of the site, the plugins and the hosting, and from there we agree the scope and the price.
How often do you run updates and backups?
Monthly as standard, or more often if a lot changes – we match it to your site. The frequency and the scope are agreed at the start.
What if an update breaks the site?
I restore from the backup and find the cause (a plugin conflict, usually), so we are back on a stable version. That is exactly why backups are taken before any significant update.
Do you also fix broken sites (white screen, errors)?
Yes – repairing WordPress sites (errors after an update, a white screen, infections) is a separate job. Once the site is stable we can move on to regular maintenance.
Want someone looking after WordPress permanently?
Let us talk – we will set the scope and the price.
No obligation. You get a price range and a recommendation.
