You run your business; we keep the site’s engines in order. Plans are monthly; what drives the price is below and on [how much a website costs](https://kkdesign.bg/en/pricing/). ## Who it is for - **Companies that want the site to simply work**, without tracking updates and warnings themselves. - **Online stores**, where an hour with the site down is an hour without orders. - **Sites with bookings, syncs or a link to stock software** that need watching. - **Sites we didn’t build.** We start with a review and tell you what we find. ## Why maintenance matters Your website is your shop window, and launch day is the start, not the end. Four reasons not to leave it alone: - **Visitors stay.** Broken links, slow pages and stale content drive people away. Regular checks catch them before your customers do. - **Security.** Bots probe for known holes day and night. Timely updates close them before anyone gets in, and a hacked site costs data, reputation and money. - **You save time and money.** A small problem caught early is cheap. A neglected site leads to an expensive repair, or a redesign sooner than you’d planned. - **Search rankings hold.** Slow, broken or infected sites lose visibility. A maintained site keeps what it has earned. ## What you get - **Updates** to WordPress, WooCommerce, the theme and plugins: first on a staging copy, then on the live site. - **Backups** on a schedule, and checks that the site can actually be restored from them. - **Security:** Wordfence (firewall, login protection, two-factor sign-in for admins), security headers, a review of user accounts and removal of unused plugins. - **Monitoring:** uptime, SSL and domain expiry, speed (Core Web Vitals) and 404 errors. - **Small changes** to text and images, as your plan allows. - **Emergency help** within the agreed response time, including cleaning up a hacked site. - **Hosting:** we help you choose and set up hosting that suits the site. - **A short report** of what was updated, checked and fixed. ## How it works 1. **Initial review:** versions, plugins, backups, security, speed. We write down what we find. 2. **Urgent things first:** we fix the risks and take the first backup. 3. **The monthly routine:** updates on staging, checks, report. 4. **When something breaks:** email us or call +359 884 615 302; we respond within the agreed time. ## Missions - [Tandem Export](https://kkdesign.bg/en/portfolio/tandem-eksport/): the live catalogue receives new theme versions and features with no downtime for its customers. - [Chiflik Hills & SPA](https://kkdesign.bg/en/portfolio/chiflik-hills-spa/): a site with its own booking engine and two-way Booking.com sync; every change goes through a staging copy before it reaches guests. - [Reha Bul](https://kkdesign.bg/en/portfolio/reha-bul/), [Kokita](https://kkdesign.bg/en/portfolio/kokita/), [Fancy Nuts](https://kkdesign.bg/en/portfolio/fancy-nuts/) and [Bilyana](https://kkdesign.bg/en/portfolio/bilyana/): on their first sites, we chose the hosting and took on maintenance after launch. - [Tandem Export](https://kkdesign.bg/en/portfolio/tandem-eksport/) - [Chiflik Hills & SPA](https://kkdesign.bg/en/portfolio/chiflik-hills-spa/) - [Reha Bul](https://kkdesign.bg/en/portfolio/reha-bul/) ## What it costs The cost of maintenance depends on the type of site (company site, store, bookings), the plugins and integrations, the response time and the hours for changes. So care is agreed per site: what it covers and what it costs come in a quote after a short call. How we price our work: [how much does a website cost?](https://kkdesign.bg/en/pricing/) ## Questions **### How much does WordPress maintenance cost?** It depends on the type of site, the plugins and integrations, the response time and the hours for changes. Looking after an online store usually costs more than a company website, because there is more to check. The exact figure is quoted after a short call. **### Do you maintain sites you didn't build?** Yes, after an initial review. We tell you what we find: outdated plugins, missing backups, risks. Sometimes we recommend removing or replacing a plugin before we take the site on. **### What should I do if my WordPress site has been hacked?** Don't delete anything: the traces help find the way in. Change the passwords for the admin, the hosting and email, then call us. We clean the site, close the hole, rotate the keys and look for hidden files and links. **### What happens if an update breaks something?** Only updates that have passed on the staging copy reach the live site. If something still goes wrong, we restore the last backup or the previous version and look for the cause separately. **### Who hosts the site?** We help you choose hosting that suits the site and we set it up. We recommend that the hosting account is in your name. **### Are content changes included?** It depends on the plan: some plans can include hours for small text and image changes. New pages and features are quoted separately. ## Related services - [WordPress speed optimisation](https://kkdesign.bg/en/services/website-speed-optimisation/) - [Website redesign and migration](https://kkdesign.bg/en/services/website-redesign/) - [Web accessibility](https://kkdesign.bg/en/services/web-accessibility/) - [Custom WordPress development](https://kkdesign.bg/en/services/custom-wordpress-development/) ## Sit back and leave it in safe hands Tell us what kind of site you have and what it runs on.
