First impressions get extreme scrutiny
A buyer evaluating a five- or six-figure engagement notices broken links, outdated content, and slow load times. Those details signal how much attention your firm pays to detail everywhere else.

WordPress Maintenance for Professional Services Firms
A broken form or a slow site doesn't just cost you traffic. It costs you credibility with the exact buyers you're trying to win over. Professional services firms live and die on trust, and a website that looks neglected undercuts every claim you make about the quality of your work. We keep your site fast, secure, and fully connected to the tools your firm runs on.
Why it matters
Why Professional Services Websites Need Specialized Maintenance
Four reasons a generic maintenance plan doesn't cut it for firms that live on credibility.
CRM and form integrations break silently
A plugin update or theme conflict can quietly disconnect your contact form from your CRM. If nobody's watching, you could lose qualified leads for weeks before anyone notices.
Thought leadership libraries need upkeep
Whitepaper downloads, gated resources, and content hubs accumulate technical debt over time: broken download links, outdated gating logic, and orphaned pages that hurt both user experience and SEO.
Security incidents damage credibility fast
A hacked site or a browser security warning is devastating for a firm that sells trust and expertise. Security hardening and monitoring aren't optional for professional services websites.
What's included
What's Included in Every Care Plan
WordPress Core Updates
Core updates applied on a tested, scheduled basis so your site stays current without the risk of an untested update breaking something on launch day.
Plugin & Theme Updates
Most professional services sites run 15-30 active plugins for CRM connections, forms, scheduling, and gated content. We test and update every one on a regular schedule.
Daily Off-Site Backups
Full site backups stored off-site every day, so a bad update, a hosting failure, or a security incident never means starting over.
Uptime Monitoring
Continuous uptime checks with immediate alerts if your site goes down, so downtime gets caught and fixed in minutes, not discovered by a prospective client.
Security Hardening & Malware Scanning
Firewall rules, login hardening, and regular malware scans that catch problems before they become a credibility crisis or a Google security warning.
Priority Support
Direct access to our team when something needs attention, without submitting a ticket into a queue and waiting days for a response.
Performance
Why Performance Monitoring Matters
Page speed affects conversion
A slow-loading practice area page or case study is a lost opportunity. We monitor load times across your key pages and flag issues before they cost you leads.
Integrations need regular health checks
CRM syncs, scheduling widgets, and gated content flows can degrade quietly over time. We check that leads are actually reaching your CRM, not just that the form submits.
Mobile performance gets the same attention
A large share of firm research happens on mobile. We monitor and tune mobile performance with the same rigor as desktop, not as an afterthought.

Good to know
FAQ
What does managed hosting cost?
Managed hosting starts at $99/mo, billed every six months with no onboarding fee. Care plans are added on top of hosting and scoped based on your site's plugin count, integration complexity, and support needs.
Which plan is right for our firm?
Most consulting and advisory firms land on the Pro plan, which adds CRM and form integration health checks and performance monitoring on top of the essentials. Firms with multiple practice areas, a national footprint, or heavier content demands typically move to Priority. We'll recommend the right fit on the intake call.
What happens if our CRM integration breaks?
Pro and Priority plans include regular CRM and form integration health checks specifically to catch silent breakages before they cost you leads. If something's off, we fix it and let you know what happened.
Do you handle sites built by another agency?
Yes. We take over maintenance for sites we didn't build regularly. We start with an assessment of your current setup, flag any urgent issues, and get you onto a plan that fits your site's needs going forward.
How fast do you respond to urgent issues?
Priority support is included on every plan. Priority-tier clients get a defined response SLA for urgent issues. Our team monitors uptime continuously, so most problems get caught and addressed before you even notice them.
