Why Website Maintenance Matters
An unmaintained WordPress site is a liability. Outdated plugins are the #1 vector for WordPress hacks. Slow speeds hurt your Google rankings. And one bad plugin update can take your site offline at the worst possible moment.

What “Managed” Actually Means: Inside Our Web Maintenance & Support
Website maintenance companies vary wildly in what they actually include. Here’s a transparent breakdown of every task in our maintenance workflow — done monthly, weekly, or in real time.
Uptime Monitoring
Your site is pinged every 60 seconds. If it goes down, we get an alert within 1 minute and begin investigating before you notice anything.
Automated Backups
Full site backup — files and database — stored off-site with 30-day retention. We test restore procedures quarterly so we know the backup actually works.
Security Scanning
Malware scanning, file integrity checks, and database injection detection. Any suspicious activity triggers immediate investigation.
Plugin & Core Updates
Updates tested in staging, then pushed live. We review changelogs for breaking changes before applying — not a one-click bulk update that breaks your site.
Performance Check
Core Web Vitals report, cache verification, and image optimisation review. Business plan clients receive a full written performance report monthly.
Development Hours
2 hrs/mo (Starter) or 5 hrs/mo (Business) of development time for content updates, layout changes, new landing pages, or small feature additions.
Everything Under One Roof — Hosting, Email & Support
Most businesses manage hosting through one provider, email through another, and support through a third. When something breaks, nobody owns the problem. Our plans include all three — web hosting in Calgary, Canadian email hosting, and maintenance support in a single monthly invoice.
Email hosting services Canada-wide often default to US-based servers. We offer business email on Canadian infrastructure — important for businesses that handle personal data under PIPEDA, or clients in regulated industries who need data residency guarantees.

Website Maintenance FAQ
Can you maintain a site you didn’t build?
Yes. We onboard any WordPress site — we run a security audit, plugin review, performance baseline, and backup setup before starting the maintenance plan. Onboarding takes 48–72 hours and is included free with a 3-month plan commitment.
What’s the difference between website support services and a maintenance plan?
Ad-hoc website support services mean you call when something breaks — hourly billing, unpredictable costs. A maintenance plan means everything is proactively monitored and updated so things rarely break in the first place. Predictable monthly cost, no emergency call-out rates.
Do I need Canadian email hosting, or can I use Google Workspace?
Google Workspace is an excellent option for most businesses — we can set it up on any plan. Canadian email hosting services are recommended for regulated industries (healthcare, legal, financial) where data residency under PIPEDA is a compliance requirement. We advise based on your industry.
What’s the best hosting company in Canada for small business?
For managed WordPress hosting with genuine support, LiteSpeed servers, and a team that built your site: us. For unmanaged or DIY hosting, Cloudflare Pages (static) or Kinsta (WordPress) are reputable Canadian-adjacent options. The best website hosting for small business Canada-wide is the one where someone answers the phone when your site goes down.
