WordPress Maintenance Service for Service Sites and WooCommerce Stores

WordPress is the most targeted CMS on the internet. 43% market share makes it a target. Outdated plugins make it a liability.

A WordPress maintenance service is what sits between your live site and the Tuesday night plugin update that breaks the checkout, removes a page from the index, or hands an attacker an unpatched door into your database. (None of these send you an email when they happen. That’s the part people don’t appreciate until after.)

TL;DR: Sitehave’s WordPress support service covers plugin and core updates tested in staging, security monitoring, 24/7 uptime, speed optimisation, content changes, and monthly reporting. Free audit first. Fixed quote after.

What Goes Wrong Without It

An accountant in their second year of trading lost two referrals in one week to competitors with better online presence. They came to us on a Tuesday. Brief locked Thursday. Site live the following Wednesday.

Fourteen days. Because there was nothing broken to fix first.

That’s the hidden cost of unmaintained WordPress: you don’t pay for it until you need to move fast and can’t, because the plugin stack is three updates behind, the PHP version is incompatible, and someone will spend a week untangling it before any actual work can start.

What the WordPress Support Service Covers

Plugin, theme, and core updates.

Staged, tested, then pushed live. Not clicked on the live site and refreshed while hoping nothing breaks. (We’ve inherited sites from people who did it the other way. It’s always a fun audit.)

Security monitoring.

Malware scanning, firewall rules, login protection, and vulnerability patching. WordPress is a target because it’s everywhere. Maintained WordPress is not the path of least resistance for anyone looking for one.

Speed optimisation.

Image compression, caching, database cleanup, and Core Web Vitals audits quarterly. A slow site doesn’t just hurt rankings — it loses conversions every day without showing up on anyone’s report.

Uptime monitoring.

Around the clock. We’re notified before you are. Average response time when something goes down: under one hour.

Content updates.

Copy changes, new pages, blog posts, pricing updates. Send us the content. It goes live. No CMS logins required on your end.

WooCommerce Is a Different Brief

A five-page service site and a WooCommerce store both run WordPress. The maintenance scope is not the same.

WooCommerce stores need checkout testing after every update — not assumed, confirmed. Payment gateway validation. Conversion tracking checked every time a plugin touches the page structure. Speed audits on product pages specifically, because that’s where the transaction happens.

If your WordPress maintenance service doesn’t include checkout testing, you’ll find out something broke because a customer mentioned it. Or didn’t.

WooCommerce scope is standard. Not an add-on.

What It Costs

Service site WordPress maintenance: $200–$350/month.

WooCommerce stores: $300–$600/month depending on plugin count and integration complexity.

The Questions We Get Every Time

Plugin, theme, and core updates in staging. Security monitoring. 24/7 uptime monitoring. Speed optimisation. Content updates. Technical SEO checks. Monthly plain-English reporting.

WordFence, WP Rocket, UpdraftPlus — these are tools. They don’t test updates before applying them, fix what breaks, or confirm the checkout still works after a plugin conflict. A wordpress support service uses those tools and does the work they can’t automate.

Service sites: $200–$350/month. WooCommerce: $300–$600/month. The free audit sets the scope and the quote before any commitment.

Yes. We start with the free audit, document what’s there, identify what needs immediate attention, and build the scope. We’ve inherited sites in genuinely poor condition. Getting them stable is part of what the first month covers.

If your WordPress site hasn’t had a proper audit since it launched, there’s almost certainly something worth finding. Give us a shout — 30 minutes, no cost. We’ll tell you exactly what’s there.

Ready to Stop Hoping Nothing Breaks?

We audit the site first, quote in writing, and start work when you’re ready. If things are genuinely fine, we’ll say so. We just haven’t had to say it that many times.
