WordPress maintenance: secure, up to date and worry-free
A WordPress website is never “finished”: core, plugins and themes need regular updates, otherwise the site becomes slow, insecure or fails. With WordPress maintenance from Formatgeber, your website stays current, fast and protected – without you having to worry about it.What maintenance covers
Regular updates of core, plugins and themes, security monitoring, automatic backups with recovery, performance checks and a fixed contact when problems arise. Clearly defined: a 12-month minimum term with three months' notice, then cancellable monthly to the end of a calendar month.Operation in Germany
On request your WordPress site runs in an exclusively operated environment on infrastructure in Germany. Your data never leaves the EU – contractually transparent.Also for existing websites
You already have a WordPress site? I also take over maintenance for websites I didn't build myself – after a short technical check-up and a clean handover of access.What's included – and what it costs
Maintenance starts at €49 a month. What your site actually costs is settled after the check-up and does not drift afterwards: a lean installation stays at the entry price, while a grown site with twenty extensions, or a shop, sits above it. The effort depends on the number of moving parts, not on the size of your company.Updates
Core, plugins and themes are updated regularly – not blindly, but with a check afterwards that the site still does what it should.Backups with recovery
Automatic backups and, the part that actually matters, a tested way back. A backup that has never been restored is only an assumption.Security monitoring
Monitoring for known vulnerabilities and for unusual behaviour of the installation.Performance checks
A regular look at load times, so the site doesn't quietly get slower over months.A fixed contact
No ticket system and no hold queue. You write to me, I answer.How the handover works
Before I take responsibility for someone else's installation, I look at what I'm dealing with. That protects both sides.1
Technical check-upI review the installation: plugin landscape, PHP version, existing backups, known vulnerabilities. You receive the result in writing – even if you then decide against maintenance.

A quote based on the findingsOnly then do I name a fixed monthly price and the exact scope. Any earlier and it would be guesswork.

Clean handoverAccess is transferred and documented, backups are set up and restored once as a test, so it's clear the way back actually works.

Ongoing operationUpdates on schedule, monitoring in the background, and a message to you whenever something needs your decision.

Do you also take over sites someone else built?
Yes, that's actually the normal case. The technical check-up comes first – so I know what I'm taking on, and you know what condition your site is really in.What happens if an update breaks the site?
That's exactly what backups with tested recovery are for. The way back is the real value of a backup, which is why it gets tested during handover rather than merely configured.Why a 12-month minimum term?
Because the effort is highest at the start: check-up, handover, setting up backups and monitoring. After that the contract is cancellable monthly to the end of a calendar month.Do I need maintenance if my site barely gets visitors?
Vulnerabilities don't care about visitor numbers – automated attacks look for outdated installations, not popular sites. Whether a contract is worth it for your site is still a fair question. If it isn't, I'll tell you.And if my site isn't WordPress at all?
Custom-built sites have fewer moving parts and therefore need less maintenance. There it's more about server operation and further development than plugin updates – just ask me about it.Request maintenance
