Keep your website secure, fast, and fully functional without lifting a finger. We handle daily backups, security patching, core updates, and content edits for a flat monthly fee.
An outdated website is a major security risk and performance bottleneck. We act as your outsourced web operations team — monitoring, backing up, updating, and patching your site on autopilot.
We audit your site daily for malware, enforce secure HTTPS protocols, manage plugin and theme updates securely in staging before pushing to production, and maintain firewalls that block brute-force and DDOS attacks before they disrupt your business.
We schedule daily, automated backups of your site's files and database, stored on encrypted off-site cloud servers (AWS S3). We keep up to 30 days of history, allowing instant restoration if an error occurs.
No more tracking down developers for minor edits. Our plans include dedicated monthly developer hours for adding text, changing images, posting blogs, layout tweaks, or emergency debugging support.
Monthly plugin & core updates tested on staging sandbox before production deployment.
Malware breach cleanup and hardened daily security scanning setup.
Monthly site maintenance, database indexing, and regular developer updates.
"The security scan and staging update protocols WebSmitherz built give us complete peace of mind. We haven't had a single layout break or security issue since getting on the plan."— Dr. Julian Vance, Managing Director @ PRSRCM
