Breweries - WordPress Maintenance
A brewery website goes down on a Friday night during a beer release and every visitor who can't find your hours or your tap list just leaves. We manage brewery WordPress sites with that reality in mind: proactive monitoring, fast response, and maintenance windows that respect your taproom's actual busy hours instead of working against them.
Overview
Brewery sites carry more moving parts than a typical small business website. Here's what makes them different.
Untappd, POS systems, e-commerce, event ticketing, and email marketing platforms all connect into a brewery site. When one updates or changes its API, it can break a connection quietly. We monitor all active integrations, not just the WordPress core.
A popular beer release or festival announcement can send traffic far above normal levels in a short window. Sites need to be performance-tuned to hold up under that load, not just fast on an average Tuesday.
Plugin updates can occasionally break an age verification gate or a shipping compliance rule on a merch store. We test these specifically after every core and plugin update, not just general site function.
Updates and maintenance work happen during your slow hours, not during a Friday tap takeover. We schedule around your actual operating rhythm.
What's included
Applied on a regular schedule, tested in staging before going live on your site.
Continuous scanning with fast remediation if anything's flagged.
Automated alerts the moment your site goes down, day or night.
Off-site backups stored so a fast restore is always possible.
Untappd, POS, e-commerce, and event system connections verified regularly, not just when something breaks.
Verified after every update so a plugin change never quietly breaks compliance.
Page speed and Core Web Vitals monitored and tuned so release-day traffic doesn't slow the site down.
Tap list changes, event updates, and menu edits handled by our team when you'd rather not touch the CMS yourself.
A real team you can reach when something needs fixing fast, not a ticket queue with no timeline.
Fast, secure WordPress-optimized hosting starting at $99/mo, built to handle release-day traffic spikes.
A single social post about a limited release can send a wave of traffic to your site in minutes. Performance monitoring catches slowdowns before they cost you visits.
APIs change on their own schedule. A POS or Untappd update on their end can silently break your integration if nobody's watching for it.
A slow or broken site erodes the SEO rankings you've built. Ongoing monitoring protects the visibility your marketing investment earned.

Good to know
Maintenance plan pricing depends on your site's complexity, the number of integrations you're running, and the support level you need. Managed WordPress hosting starts at $99/mo. We'll recommend the right maintenance tier, Core, Pro, or Priority, after reviewing your specific site during a free consultation.
Our Pro and Priority maintenance plans include regular integration health checks specifically so we catch breaks before you notice them or a customer does. When something does break, whether from an API change on their end or a plugin update on ours, we diagnose and fix it as part of your plan.
Yes. Our hosting and performance optimization are built to hold up under sudden traffic increases from a popular release announcement or festival listing. We also monitor performance proactively so we can catch and address slowdowns before a release goes live, not after.
Yes. Age gate and e-commerce compliance testing is part of our standard update process for brewery clients. A plugin update can occasionally alter how a gate or a shipping rule behaves, and we test for that specifically rather than assuming a general site check would catch it.
Yes, this is included as content update support on our Pro and Priority plans. If you'd rather have our team handle tap list changes, event postings, and menu updates instead of managing WordPress yourself, we can take that on as part of your maintenance plan.
