Website maintenance services: a Vancouver business checklist
Website maintenance is the recurring work that keeps a business website secure, fast, backed up, searchable and able to convert visitors into leads. It is not just clicking update and hoping nothing breaks.

What a good maintenance plan covers
Software updates
WordPress core, plugins, themes, PHP compatibility and dependency review before changes reach production.
Backups and restore readiness
Off-site backups, retention review, restore checks and pre-update snapshots for risky changes.
Website maintenance typically includes software updates, backups, uptime monitoring, security checks, small content edits, performance review, and support when forms, plugins, or integrations break.
How often should a business website be maintained?
Most business websites should be checked monthly at minimum. WordPress, WooCommerce, membership, and high-lead-value sites often need weekly monitoring and update review.
Is website maintenance the same as hosting?
No. Hosting is the server environment. Maintenance is the ongoing care of the website itself, including updates, backups, security review, performance checks, and fixes.
