Painters - WordPress Maintenance
Your before/after gallery is doing a lot of the selling on your site. If it slows down, breaks, or stops updating, you lose the visual proof that convinces homeowners to trust you with their walls. We handle updates, backups, security, and performance monitoring so your gallery, booking tools, and estimate forms keep working exactly when demand is highest.
Overview
Unoptimized or accumulating gallery images are one of the most common ways a painting site slows down. Left unmanaged, a growing before/after gallery can quietly drag your load time up until visitors leave before the photos even render.
Your site connects to Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, PaintScout, or FieldPulse. An update that breaks one of these integrations can stop estimate requests from reaching your pipeline without anyone noticing right away.
WordPress sites are a common target for automated attacks, and out-of-date plugins are the most common entry point. Your estimate forms collect names, phone numbers, and addresses that need to stay secure.
Exterior painting searches surge every spring. A site that hasn't been checked for performance ahead of that spike risks slow load times or downtime during the exact weeks when the most estimate requests come in.
What's included
Updates
Every update is staged and tested before it touches your live site, so a routine update never becomes a broken gallery or a down estimate form.
Backups
If anything ever goes wrong, we can restore your site fast, including your full photo gallery. Backups are stored off-site, separate from your hosting environment.
Reliability
Continuous monitoring alerts our team the moment your site goes down, so we're usually already fixing it before you notice.
Security
Regular scans catch malware and vulnerabilities before they become a real problem. We harden your site against the most common WordPress attack vectors.
Performance
We track load time and Core Web Vitals continuously, with special attention to gallery-heavy pages, and flag degradation before it costs you rankings or leads.
Integrations
We verify your booking, estimating, and CRM integrations are still working after every update, so leads keep flowing into your pipeline without a gap.
Support
You get access to the same team that built your site whenever something needs attention, not a rotating helpdesk that's never seen your project.
Content
We can help upload and organize new project photos into your gallery categories, so your site stays current without adding to your team's workload.
Sites without image and performance management tend to slow down as the gallery grows, and a slow gallery is the fastest way to lose a homeowner who's comparing three or four painters at once.
Out-of-date plugins are the most common way WordPress sites get compromised. An unmaintained site is a matter of when, not if.
Performance and security issues rarely announce themselves. Rankings slip and estimate requests drop gradually, and by the time it's obvious, you've already lost ground to competitors with faster, more secure sites.
Plans
Three tiers on top of managed hosting. Care plans are scoped on the intake call so you're not paying for a package that doesn't match your site.

Good to know
Unmaintained sites tend to slow down as the gallery grows, and a slow gallery is one of the fastest ways to lose a homeowner comparing several painters at once. Out-of-date plugins get exploited. Performance and rankings decay quietly, and by the time it's obvious, you've usually already lost estimate requests to competitors with faster, more secure 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 gallery size, integration load, 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 booking or estimating platform, we catch it and fix it before it costs you leads.
Yes. Our Priority plan includes a spring exterior-season traffic readiness check, and all plans include uptime and performance monitoring built to catch problems before they turn into downtime during your busiest weeks.
