WordPress Maintenance Plans

We enable you to focus on your business.

To keep your WordPress website secure and fully operational, it needs regular updates, optimisation and monitoring. Most owners don't have time or the technical expertise for that and don't need to.

Our maintenance plans handle the upkeep so your site keeps working for you.

Cancel anytime. No minimum contracts on monthly plans. · Service terms

Start with a Foundation Audit

Not sure if your site is ready for a maintenance plan?

If you have been managing your site reactively, or have not had it reviewed recently, a Foundation Audit gives you a clear baseline before ongoing maintenance begins. With WordPress admin access, it covers plugin health, theme structure, and known software conflicts alongside the wider review.

Foundations and structure
How the site is built, theme and plugin choices, and whether the setup is maintainable long term.
Issues and risk
Existing errors, conflicts, security gaps, and anything that should be resolved before maintenance begins.
Performance
Page speed, Core Web Vitals, image handling, and hosting behaviour.
Visibility and usability
SEO basics, tracking setup, content structure, and conversion blockers.

You receive a concise written report, prioritised actions, a recommendation on improvement vs rebuild vs no action, and a 30-minute call to walk through findings. If you proceed with work within 30 days, the £295 fee is credited in full.

I would not hesitate in recommending Reflect & Refine to any other business or individual, in particular if your requirements are for top quality services.

Colin May, Electric Interiors

I have been using Reflect & Refine for many years and they have always exceeded expectations. Richard has been very quick and efficient in dealing with any requests which is so important when you rely heavily upon your website as your main source of new custom.

  • Proactive maintenance

    Core, plugin and theme updates with testing before go-live. Your site stays current without you worrying about compatibility or breakage.

    Hardening, uptime monitoring and scheduled backups stored offsite. If anything goes wrong, we can restore a working version in minutes.

  • Performance tuning

    Regular audits for speed, image strategy and database health. A monthly report keeps you informed without needing to dig into the technical detail.

    Small feature tweaks, content support and QA within your support time, without waiting for a rebuild. Stay ahead of issues plus a buffer for small wins each month.

Examples of this work

Maintenance plans suit WordPress sites that need reliable upkeep after a build or improvement project. Recent WordPress work includes SEO and website improvement for Top of the Rock Tuition (an ongoing engagement across three studio locations), repairing a broken media library for Perfect Gifts Online after a hosting migration, and an Elementor rebuild for Extended Ideas for a Derby architect.

Frequently asked questions

What is a WordPress maintenance plan?

A maintenance plan is ongoing support that keeps your WordPress site reliable and secure. It includes proactive maintenance such as core and plugin updates, security and backups, performance tuning, and small iterative improvements so the site stays fast and stable without waiting for a rebuild.

How does a maintenance plan differ from one-off support?

A maintenance plan is ongoing and scheduled; one-off support is ad hoc. Maintenance plans provide continuity, predictable capacity, and someone who knows the site. One-off support suits occasional fixes but doesn't replace ongoing maintenance for sites that matter to the business.

Do I need an audit before joining a maintenance plan?

Most new sites benefit from a Foundation Audit (£295) before joining, unless you have had one within the last three months, we built the site, or you are an existing client. It is a manual review of foundations, performance, security, plugin and theme health, SEO basics, and maintainability, with a written report, prioritised actions, and a 30-minute call. If you proceed with improvement work within 30 days, the audit fee is credited in full. Existing clients or sites we've built typically don't need a separate review.

Can I cancel anytime?

Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time with no minimum contract. Annual plans are for a 12-month period. We don't tie you in beyond what you've paid for.

Which plan is right for me?

Maintain suits small, stable sites that need essential upkeep. Support suits growing businesses that need regular fixes and performance work. Growth suits sites with WooCommerce or heavier traffic that need daily scanning and staging tests before updates go live.

Do your maintenance plans include hosting?

Maintenance plans cover ongoing updates, backups and support. Hosting is separate. We can advise on hosting if needed.

My site wasn't built by Reflect & Refine. Can I still join?

Yes. We work with WordPress sites regardless of who built them. The initial audit helps us understand the setup and any work needed before maintenance begins.

What if I need more support time?

Support and Growth plans include a set number of hours per month. Additional support is invoiced separately at our standard rate.
