#  Maintenance

Your website needs regular maintenance to remain secure, reliable, and running smoothly. Like any software, content management systems such as Joomla® and WordPress require ongoing updates to their core software, plugins, and components.

Keeping everything up to date is essential. Outdated software can leave your website vulnerable to security threats, compatibility problems, and unexpected downtime, potentially disrupting your business and affecting your customers.

Our website maintenance service takes care of the essential tasks needed to keep your website in good working order. We handle the updates, monitoring, and backups, giving you greater peace of mind and more time to focus on running your business.

## What's Included in Our Website Maintenance Service?

1. **Daily website backups** – helping protect your website files and database.
2. **Regular security and performance monitoring** – helping identify potential issues.
3. **Ongoing software updates** – keeping supported core software, plugins, and components up to date.

Daily back-ups

Having a recent backup can make all the difference if something goes wrong. We back up your website every day, including its files and database, helping safeguard your content and important website data.

We also provide secure login access so you can create and download your own backups whenever you need them.

Audits

Identifying potential problems early can help prevent them from becoming bigger issues. We use a trusted external monitoring service to check websites regularly, alerting us to software changes and notifying us when plugins or components require attention.

We also receive update notifications directly from software developers, helping us keep track of available fixes and improvements.

This proactive approach helps us identify potential maintenance needs and keep your website secure, stable, and performing as expected.

Software Updates

Content management systems, plugins, and components are regularly updated to address security vulnerabilities, fix bugs, improve compatibility, and introduce new features.

Our website maintenance service takes care of these updates on your behalf for websites created and hosted by us. We keep the core software and supported plugins and components up to date, helping reduce security risks and minimise the likelihood of avoidable problems.

By taking care of these essential tasks, we help ensure your website remains reliable and well maintained, without you having to worry about managing updates yourself.
