Physical Therapy - WordPress Maintenance
Your scheduling widget, intake forms, and patient portal all depend on a WordPress site that stays updated, secure, and online. A missed update or a broken integration doesn't just cost you a page load. It costs you a booked appointment.
Why it matters
Outdated plugins and unpatched vulnerabilities on a site handling patient intake forms create real HIPAA exposure. A compromised contact form or scheduling widget isn't just a security incident, it's a potential compliance failure.
WordPress core updates, theme updates, and plugin updates can break the connection between your site and your scheduling platform without warning. We test these integrations after every update rather than assuming they still work.
Sites accumulate bloat over time from unused plugins, unoptimized images, and outdated code. For a PT clinic site, slow load times directly cost bookings, since more than 60% of health searches happen on mobile where patience is thin.
Accessibility standards, privacy regulations, and the platforms your site integrates with all change over time. Staying current isn't a one-time project, it's ongoing maintenance that most clinics don't have the internal capacity to track.
The core work that happens behind the scenes on every plan.
Core
Every core update is tested in a staging environment before it touches your live site, so nothing breaks the booking flow patients depend on.
Plugins & themes
We keep every plugin and theme current, watching for the abandoned or unsupported plugins that create the most security risk on healthcare sites.
Integrations
After every update, we verify that your EMR and scheduling integration (WebPT, Heno, Jane, Prompt EMR, or others) still functions correctly end to end.
Reliability
Continuous uptime monitoring alerts our team the moment your site goes down, so we can respond before it costs you patient bookings.
Backups
Automated daily backups stored securely off-site mean we can restore your site quickly if anything ever goes wrong, without losing days of content or configuration.
Security
Firewall rules, malware scanning, and login security are configured and monitored on an ongoing basis, backed by real support hours when you need direct help.
Every skipped update is another known vulnerability sitting exposed on a site that touches patient information. Healthcare sites are a common target precisely because the data has value.
Scheduling widgets and intake forms can break quietly after an update, and clinics often don't notice until a patient calls asking why they couldn't book online, or worse, don't call at all.
Slow load times, broken forms, and outdated plugins compound quietly. A site that converted well at launch can lose a meaningful share of its booking rate a year later without anyone noticing the cause.
Plans
Three tiers built around how much ongoing support your clinic site needs.
Core
For single-location clinics with straightforward sites
Pro
For clinics with active scheduling and intake integrations
Priority
For multi-location groups and specialty practices at scale
Managed hosting starts at $99/mo.

Good to know
Yes, on our Pro and Priority plans. Core updates and plugin updates can silently break the connection between your site and your scheduling platform, so we verify the booking flow end to end after each update rather than assuming it still works.
Ongoing maintenance addresses one major piece of HIPAA exposure: outdated plugins and unpatched vulnerabilities on a site handling patient data. We're not a compliance firm and this isn't legal advice, but keeping your technology stack current is a meaningful part of managing that risk.
Managed hosting starts at $99/mo and covers server infrastructure, uptime, and speed. Maintenance plans layer on top of hosting with updates, integration testing, security hardening, and support. Most clinics bundle both so there's a single team accountable for the entire site.
Uptime monitoring runs continuously, and our team is alerted the moment your site goes down, regardless of the hour. Response time depends on your plan, with Priority plans getting the fastest turnaround and a dedicated senior contact.
Yes. We regularly take over maintenance for PT clinic sites built by other agencies or freelancers. We start with an audit to understand the current state of the site, including outdated plugins, security gaps, and any scheduling integrations already in place, before enrolling it in a maintenance plan.
It depends mostly on how many active integrations your site runs and how many locations you manage. A single-location clinic with a straightforward site typically does well on Core. Clinics with active scheduling and intake integrations usually need Pro for the integration testing. Multi-location groups and specialty practices at scale benefit most from Priority's dedicated support and coordination. We'll recommend a plan after reviewing your current site.
Yes. Clinics grow, add locations, and add new integrations over time, and your maintenance plan should scale with that. We review plan fit periodically and can move you up or down as your needs change.
Still have questions? We're happy to answer them, let's connect.
Maintenance is more than a checklist. It's a team that answers when something goes wrong.
When your scheduling widget breaks or a patient reports they can't submit an intake form, you get a real person on our support team, not an automated ticket system with no timeline.
We're still here six months after launch, backed by the same team that built the site. That continuity matters when a scheduling integration needs a change or a new specialty page needs to go live.
We host and support more than 800 WordPress sites, which means we've already seen the plugin conflict or integration failure your site might run into, and know how to fix it fast.
Our maintenance team draws on more than two decades of WordPress-specific experience across 800+ sites launched, which shapes how we anticipate problems before they affect your patients.
