A website isn't set-and-forget. Here's what's changed.

Every website is built in layers: the core platform, plugins, a theme and the server software underneath. Each layer gets updated regularly. That's normal and healthy. It just means someone needs to keep an eye on it.

Here's what the latest research says, and what we do about each part.

Fixes need to happen fast

What's changed

Security firm Patchstack recorded 11,334 new vulnerabilities across the WordPress ecosystem in 2025, up 42% on 2024. Almost all were in plugins and themes, with just six in WordPress core itself. The most heavily targeted flaws are typically attacked within hours of going public, not days.

How we handle it

We keep your core software, plugins and themes updated, with a web application firewall and malware scanning protecting your site in between updates.

Australia's cyber agency is asking businesses to stay patched

What's changed

In July 2026, the Australian Cyber Security Centre issued an alert about a large-scale campaign targeting website platforms, noting many small and medium Australian businesses had been affected. The weaknesses being used were already known, with fixes available. The advice: patch quickly, and restore from a known-good backup if needed.

How we handle it

That's our everyday routine. Updates applied, monitoring for suspicious activity, and regular backups stored safely off your server, so a clean restore is always on hand.

Server software has a use-by date

What's changed

PHP, the programming language WordPress runs on, retires old versions on a set schedule. PHP 8.1 stopped receiving security fixes at the end of 2025, and PHP 8.2 follows on 31 December 2026. WordPress now recommends PHP 8.3 or newer.

How we handle it

We keep track of what your website runs on and plan ahead for important software changes, like PHP version updates, so they're handled calmly rather than in a rush.

Speed matters to customers and to Google

What's changed

Google research found the chance of a visitor bouncing rises 32% as page load time goes from one second to three (Google/SOASTA, 2017). Google also recommends site owners achieve good Core Web Vitals “for success with Search”.

How we handle it

Fast, secure hosting, ongoing speed monitoring, and performance covered in your plain-English monthly report.

Need something changed? Just ask.

Your website should keep up with your business. New team members, updated prices, a new service, a seasonal promotion, fresh photos: send it through and we'll take care of it. No logins to remember, no wrestling with page builders, and no worrying that you'll break something.

Typical requests we handle:

  • Updating text, prices, opening hours and contact details
  • Adding photos, team members or testimonials
  • Publishing a new page or a blog post you've written
  • Fixing a broken link or a form that's stopped sending

Small updates and tweaks are handled for you. Got something bigger in mind, like a new section or a redesign? We'll scope it with you and quote it upfront, so there are never any surprises.

Looked after by people who understand your marketing

Your website is where your Google Ads, SEO and social campaigns send people. When it's fast, secure and online, all of that marketing works harder. We look after it with the bigger picture in mind, not just the server.

Hosting & Maintenance FAQs

Not necessarily. In many cases we can look after security, updates and monitoring on your existing host. If your current hosting is slow, unreliable or doesn't support good security practices, we'll tell you honestly and talk you through moving to hosting we know performs. We handle the move for you and plan it to avoid downtime.

Our uptime monitoring runs continuously, not just during office hours. If an outage is detected, we're alerted straight away and get to work on restoring it. You shouldn't need to notice it or report it yourself first.

Your website is backed up regularly, with copies stored safely off your server, so a hosting issue can't take your backups out along with your site. If something goes wrong, whether that's a bad update or simple human error, we restore from a recent clean backup rather than rebuilding from scratch.

Regular updates to core software, plugins and themes, a web application firewall, malware scanning, SSL certificate management, login hardening such as limiting login attempts and enforcing strong passwords, and ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity. It's ongoing protection, not a one-off scan.

Yes. Small updates and tweaks, like new text, images, prices or team members, are handled for you. Just send them through. Bigger projects, like a new section or a redesign, are scoped with you and quoted upfront, so you always know where you stand.

No. Our plans run month to month, with no lock-in contracts. We'd rather earn your business every month, and 100% of our clients have stayed with us for 12 months or more.
