Maintenance Care Plans
Website updates and maintenance Auckland
Maintenance of WordPress
Maintaining a WordPress website yourself can be time-consuming and stressful. Many people ignore maintenance because it often creates problems. However, updates are essential for the security and performance of your website.
We handle website updates and maintenance Auckland wide and throughout the country through our Woodswork Web Care Plan.
Regular updates are the most important part of website maintenance. The WordPress core, plugins, and themes all need updating on a regular schedule. Backups, database optimisation, security setup, and monitoring are equally important. These tasks work together to keep your site stable, secure, and performing well. Woodswork offers several options to simplify this process and remove the stress.

A few maintenance and update services we cover
WordPress updates
Regular WordPress updates help minimise security issues and protect your website from vulnerabilities. Keeping the core system up to date ensures your site remains safe and functional.
Plugin updates
We carry out plugin updates to improve compatibility with updated WordPress versions, enhance performance, and maintain security. Ensuring plugins are current helps avoid conflicts and issues.
Theme updates
Updating your website’s theme is crucial because theme creators regularly introduce new features and bug fixes. Some updates are minor, while others involve significant changes. As a result, keeping the theme updated plays a vital role in your website’s security and performance.
Security
Our security services include preventative measures and continuous monitoring. These efforts reduce the risk of known threats and help detect potential attacks before they cause damage.
Backups
We perform regular backups to protect your data and ensure recovery if an update causes issues or the site becomes compromised. This process helps safeguard your website’s content and functionality.
Our Care Plan options and why we recommend a maintenance plan
Regular maintenance keeps your website operating at an optimal level. The required level of service depends on the type of website, the frequency of updates, and how crucial the site is to your business. For example, an online store or a site that takes bookings cannot afford any downtime.
It’s also important to consider the hosting environment, which significantly affects your website’s performance and security. At Woodswork, we use premium WordPress hosting because they are the best-managed providers for WordPress websites. We don’t compromise on your website’s hosting, and you shouldn’t either.
