Daily automated backups — full WordPress files + database, retained off-site, restorable on request within hours.
A new website is a commercial asset on day one. By month 18, if no one is maintaining it, it has often quietly become a liability — outdated plugins, missed security patches, broken integrations, slow load times, and content that no longer reflects the business. Most Irish SMEs don't notice until something visible breaks (the contact form stops sending; the site goes down; Google starts surfacing security warnings). Website Maintenance & Care is the BeaconSites service that prevents that drift. Backups run automatically. WordPress core, plugins, and themes are kept current with managed updates. Uptime is monitored 24/7. Security is monitored and hardened against the threats that target WordPress in particular. Performance is reviewed monthly and tuned when it slips. Your website remains the asset you paid for — not the liability it slowly becomes when left alone. We maintain BeaconSites-built sites and external sites equally. If you have a WordPress website built by another agency and they're no longer responsive (or are charging hourly for what should be routine work), we can take over the care without rebuilding. The full plan adds content production, SEO maintenance, and Google Business Profile management for businesses that want a single managed relationship covering everything post-launch.
- Irish SMEs who have launched a website (with us or another agency) and want it actively maintained, not abandoned - Businesses whose existing developer or agency has gone silent, increased fees, or moved on - Owners who treat the website as a primary commercial asset rather than a fire-and-forget brochure - Multi-location and multi-site operators needing centralised WordPress management across multiple installs - Anyone who has had a previous website go stale, hacked, or break unexpectedly and doesn't want it to happen again
Maintenance is where most agency relationships die quietly. First, the work is automated and visible — backups, updates, security monitoring, uptime tracking are all running on infrastructure that produces a monthly client-facing report. You know what happened. You're not paying for "general maintenance" that nobody can describe. Second, the AI-native architecture continues — every monthly review checks that the schema, FAQPage architecture, llms.txt, and citation-friendly structure your site launched with are still intact. Theme updates and plugin changes can quietly break AEO structure; we catch and fix it. Third, founder-accountable escalation — when something serious goes wrong, Lee Graham is the contact, not a ticket queue or a junior support tier. You speak to the person who built or audited your site originally.
Website Maintenance & Care (basic): from €49/month — backups, managed updates, security monitoring, uptime, SSL, performance review, monthly report. Website Maintenance & Care (full plan): from €299/month — everything in basic, plus content production, SEO maintenance, Google Business Profile management, and expanded content patch scope. Multi-site management: custom quote — centralised maintenance across multiple WordPress installs. Audit-first option: if you're inheriting an unfamiliar site (or your previous agency has gone quiet), we can audit the current state first before taking over maintenance.
The website you paid for is a depreciating asset unless someone is actively maintaining it. Most agency relationships end at launch or drift into silence within 12 months. BeaconSites Website Maintenance & Care is built so that doesn't happen — backups running, security monitored, updates managed, AEO structure protected, and a written monthly report so you know what happened. From €49/month. Book a 30-minute discovery call to confirm fit and review the onboarding scope.
