Someone Should Be Looking After Your Website

A WordPress site left alone for six months is a site waiting to break. We do the updates, the backups and the small fixes, so you never have to think about it.

  • Daily backups, kept off your server
  • WordPress, theme and plugin updates handled
  • Content changes done for you, not by you
  • No contract — stop whenever you like
WordPress website support and maintenance by Lamus Design

What It Costs to Keep It Running

Four plans. The difference between them is how much content work you need each month, not how well we look after the site — that part is the same on all four.

Pro

For a site that keeps growing. Everything in Standard, plus a new page each month.

R1200/month

  • Monthly WordPress, theme & plugin updates
  • Support Hours – 9am – 5pm
  • 6 content updates/month (or up to 10 hours)
  • New page designs (only 1 page a month)
  • Support via Remote Desktop – Included
  • No Contract – Cancel any time

Premium

For online stores and busy sites where small changes come up weekly, not monthly.

R2000/month

  • Monthly WordPress, theme & plugin updates
  • Support Hours – 9am – 5pm
  • Unlimited small updates (or up to 10–15 hours)
  • New page designs (up to 2 per month)
  • E-commerce product updates
  • Support via Remote Desktop – Included
  • No Contract – Cancel any time

Every plan includes a health check on your hosting and a short note at month end telling you what we did. Site bigger than this, or built on something other than WordPress? Custom maintenance packages are available — get a tailored quote.

What You Are Actually Paying to Avoid

Nobody enjoys paying for maintenance. Here is what the money is actually buying you.

Not Being the Easy Target

Most WordPress sites are not hacked by anyone clever. They are hacked by a script that scans the internet for an old plugin with a known hole in it. Keeping things current is genuinely most of the defence.

Nothing Quietly Breaking

Plugins fall out of step with each other and something stops working — often the contact form, which means enquiries vanish and nobody tells you. We check the things that matter still work.

A Site That Has Not Got Slower

Sites gain weight over time: bigger images, more plugins, a database full of junk. Left alone for a year the same site loads noticeably slower. We keep trimming it back.

Not Being On Your Own

When something does go wrong you send one message to a person who already knows your site, instead of hunting for whoever built it three years ago.

What’s Covered

The Work Itself

Four areas, on every plan. What changes on the bigger plans is how much content and design work is included, not whether the site is looked after.

Security & Backups

  • Malware & threat scanning
  • SSL certificate checks
  • Automated regular backups
  • Firewall & login protection

Updates & Fixes

  • Core, theme & plugin updates
  • Broken-link checks & fixes
  • Form & checkout testing
  • Bug fixes & small tweaks

Performance

  • Uptime & downtime monitoring
  • Page-speed optimisation
  • Image & cache tuning
  • Database clean-ups

Content & Design

  • Text & image updates
  • New pages & sections
  • Blog & product posting
  • Seasonal design refreshes

Not Sure Which Plan Fits?

Book a short call and we will go through your site with you and say which plan makes sense — including saying the cheapest one, if that is the honest answer. Already broken and need someone now? Ring 073 025 8806 and we will look at it today.

Questions People Ask Before Signing Up

The honest answers, including the ones that are not in our favour.

If your site is WordPress, yes — something needs updating most months, and the gap between updates is where the trouble starts. If your site is a handful of plain HTML pages that never change, honestly, no. Ask us and we will tell you which one you have.
