A managed Website Care Plan for WordPress and WooCommerce. We handle updates, security, backups, uptime and speed, so your website stays an asset instead of quietly becoming a liability between projects.
A site launches fast, secure and current. Left alone, it drifts. WordPress, themes and plugins release constant updates, and the ones that go unapplied are exactly where sites get hacked, slow down and break. The sites that keep working, and keep ranking, are the ones that get maintained.
Website maintenance is the ongoing work of keeping a live website secure, updated, backed up, fast and functioning. For a WordPress site that means regular core, theme and plugin updates, security and uptime monitoring, off-site backups, performance optimisation and technical support, carried out on a schedule rather than only when something goes wrong.
Outdated software is one of the leading causes of hacked websites. Regular updates, backups and monitoring are the difference between a website that is a reliable business asset and one that quietly becomes a liability. Prevention costs far less than an emergency clean-up or lost sales from downtime.
We have designed, built and maintained WordPress websites for over eight years. Maintenance is not an afterthought for us, it is how we keep client sites performing long after launch.
Most websites we care for were built by another agency or developer. We start with a technical review to understand how the site is set up, flag existing risks, and bring it into a stable, monitored routine. You do not need to have built with us to be looked after by us.
We understand WordPress, WooCommerce, hosting, security and performance at a technical level, so when something needs judgement, an update that could break a checkout, a speed problem, a security alert, you have people who can actually fix it, not just forward a ticket.
Nine things we handle every month to keep your website secure, fast, online and improving. Each one earns its place by preventing a specific, costly problem.
Why it matters: core updates patch security holes and keep the site stable. We apply and test them so your site stays protected without breaking.
Why it matters: plugins are the most common entry point for attackers. We review, update and check each one, rather than letting risky auto-updates run unchecked.
Why it matters: if the worst happens, backups are your safety net. We store them off-site, separate from your host, so the site can always be restored quickly.
Why it matters: WordPress is a top target for hackers. We monitor and harden your site, watch for threats, and act before a small issue becomes a breach.
Why it matters: a site that is down is losing enquiries and sales. We monitor uptime around the clock and are alerted the moment it goes offline, often before you notice.
Why it matters: speed affects rankings and conversions. We keep images, caching, scripts and the database healthy so Core Web Vitals and load times stay strong.
Why it matters: things come up. You get a real team to handle issues, questions and fixes, with response times matched to your plan tier.
Why it matters: small edits pile up. Your plan includes an allowance for text changes, image swaps and small tweaks, so the site stays current without a separate quote each time.
Why it matters: you should know what you are paying for. Each month you get a plain-language report of the updates, backups, security, uptime and work carried out.
Simple, fixed monthly plans with no long lock-in. Every plan is scoped to your site after a short review, so the price you see is the price you pay.
For brochure and small business websites
For lead-generating and content-driven sites
For WooCommerce and revenue-critical sites
All plans are month to month. Hosting is separate and can be arranged if needed. Larger changes and new features are quoted separately from your plan.
You can maintain a WordPress site yourself. The question is whether it is a good use of your time, and what it costs when something is missed.
Beyond the task list, a Care Plan changes how your website performs and how much you have to think about it.
Someone is watching your site, applying updates and holding backups, so you are not the last line of defence when something goes wrong.
Proactive updates, monitoring and hardening dramatically reduce the risk of your site being hacked, defaced or taken offline.
Ongoing speed work keeps load times and Core Web Vitals healthy, which supports both rankings and conversions.
A fast, stable, online site holds its search visibility. Downtime, slow speeds and broken pages quietly erode it.
Monitoring plus recent backups means problems are caught early and resolved quickly, minimising lost enquiries and sales.
You hand the technical upkeep to a team who do it every day, and get your hours back for the work that grows revenue.
A simple, transparent onboarding that gets your site into a secure, monitored routine quickly, then keeps it there.
We review your website, hosting, plugins, security and backups to understand its current state and flag any immediate risks.
We recommend the right care plan for your site and goals, with a fixed monthly price and a clear list of what is included.
We set up backups, monitoring and hardening, resolve any urgent issues, and bring the site into our maintenance routine.
Each month we update, back up, monitor, optimise and support the site, then send a clear report of everything done.
The questions Cape Town businesses ask us most before starting a Website Care Plan.
WordPress website design is the process of designing and building a business website on WordPress, the world's most widely used content management system. It combines custom design, responsive development, SEO-ready structure and an easy-to-manage CMS, so your team can update the site without a developer while it performs for search and conversions.
Projects start from around R5,000 for a foundational site and scale with the number of pages, integrations, e-commerce, SEO scope and conversion requirements. We quote a fixed price after a free discovery call, with pricing available in ZAR, USD or GBP.

Website builders are quick to start but limit design, SEO control, integrations and scalability, and lock your site into their platform. WordPress gives you full ownership, stronger SEO, a huge plugin ecosystem and room to grow — which is why it powers a large share of the web.
We're a specialist WordPress agency that starts with strategy and data, not decoration. We build custom, fast, SEO-ready sites designed to convert, back them with a transparent process and real project experience across industries, and support them after launch.
You get a reply within one business day, usually with a few questions and a suggested next step. We then run a short, free discovery call, review your current site if you have one, and send a clear proposal with fixed pricing and timeline — with no obligation to proceed.
