Catering - WordPress Maintenance
Keep your quote forms, galleries, and catering software integrations running reliably, especially during the wedding season and Q4 corporate planning rush when your site can't afford to go down. A catering website that breaks during peak booking season doesn't just lose a lead, it loses a lead that was worth thousands of dollars.
Overview
Your site connects to Total Party Planner, Caterease, CaterZen, HoneyBook, or similar platforms your team relies on daily. An update that breaks one of these connections can stop quote requests from reaching your pipeline without anyone noticing until a client complains.
Stripe and Square integrations handle deposit collection directly through your site. WordPress sites are a common target for automated attacks, and out-of-date plugins are the most common entry point into a site that's processing payments.
Catering sites lean heavily on photo galleries, and unoptimized images are one of the fastest ways a fast site turns into a slow one. Unmanaged media libraries quietly drag down load times and hurt the mobile experience where most inquiries start.
Wedding season and Q4 corporate holiday planning are when the highest-value bookings come in. That's exactly the wrong time to discover a broken quote form or a slow-loading gallery costing you leads.
What's included
Updates
Every update is staged and tested before it touches your live site, so a routine update never becomes a broken quote form or a payment integration that stops working.
Reliability
Continuous monitoring alerts our team the moment your site goes down, so we're usually already fixing it before a bride or a corporate planner ever sees an error page.
Security
Regular scans catch malware and vulnerabilities before they become a real problem, which matters even more on a site handling deposit payments.
Backups
If anything ever goes wrong, we can restore your site fast. Backups are stored off-site, separate from your hosting environment.
Media
We keep your galleries loading fast by managing image compression and delivery, so your photography looks great without dragging down site speed.
Integrations
We verify your catering software, payment, and quote form integrations are still working after every update, so bookings keep flowing without a gap.
Sites without monitoring tend to go down when traffic is highest, which for catering usually means during wedding season or the Q4 corporate planning rush, exactly when the most valuable leads are searching.
Out-of-date plugins are the most common way WordPress sites get compromised, and that risk is higher on a site that's also processing deposit payments. An unmaintained site is a matter of when, not if.
Performance and security issues rarely announce themselves. Rankings slip and lead volume drops gradually, and by the time it's obvious, you've already lost ground to competitors with faster, better-maintained sites.

Good to know
Unmaintained sites tend to go down at the worst possible time, often during wedding season or the Q4 corporate planning rush when the most valuable leads are searching. Out-of-date plugins get exploited, which matters more when your site handles deposit payments. Performance and rankings decay quietly, and by the time it's obvious, you've usually lost bookings to competitors with faster, more reliable sites.
Managed hosting starts at $99/mo, billed every six months with no onboarding fee. Care plans sit on top of that and are scoped based on your site's integration load, gallery size, and how often things need to be touched, so we'll give you a specific number after reviewing your site.
Yes. We check integration health as part of ongoing maintenance, so if an update breaks a connection between your site and your catering management software, payment processor, or CRM, we catch it and fix it before it costs you a booking.
Yes. Our Full Care plan includes a peak-season traffic readiness check, and all plans include uptime and performance monitoring built to catch problems before they turn into downtime during your busiest booking windows.
We take on maintenance for sites we didn't build regularly. We'll do an initial audit to understand the current setup, flag any existing issues, and get you onto a maintenance plan that fits how your site's actually built.
