Why is website maintenance so important?

Website maintenance is still far too underestimated. Once set up, many people only take care of their website sporadically. Understandable, especially if the online presence isn't their core business. But a website is no longer just an online business card for your company. It's the first impression, the interface, the motivator for your future customers to choose you.

By entrusting your website maintenance to the right hands, you're on the safe side in many respects. The increasing technical demands placed on websites mean you have to stay on top of things and engage deeply with the subject. It's about being securely protected against attacks, guaranteeing the highest possible functionality, and delivering stable performance. What exactly does that mean?

Professional protection against malware/hackers

Malware attacks, also known as intrusive software, are among the most common threats to your website. These include worms, viruses, spyware, scams, Trojans, and other malicious programs that can lead to serious data leaks. We implement targeted security measures, regularly monitor your WordPress site, and know how to take the right action in an emergency.

Theme, Plugins & WordPress Updates

Regular updates of all plugins in your WordPress installation are essential. We know when which updates are truly necessary, what to do if an update to one plugin suddenly causes problems with another, and so on. This allows us to reliably handle the necessary updates, ensuring the functionality of your website and the stability of its design.

Clean backend & regular backups

Especially when using many plugins, multiple languages, and various interfaces in WooCommerce shops, the backend can become slow and cluttered. We clean up and maintain your backend on an ongoing basis. We review the necessity of your plugins and the functionality of your interfaces. Of course, regular backups are essential. Depending on your needs, we perform continuous manual and automated backups to prevent data loss. So, should you ever make a mistake while updating your content, you can rest assured. 

Analyse, Monitoring, Reporting

Are certain problems recurring on your website? Are customers occasionally reporting issues you can't reproduce? Depending on their browser, device, operating system, etc., your customers may experience glitches that lead them to abandon purchases or interactions. Such frustrating irregularities are often difficult to trace. We monitor and analyze your website to get to the bottom of these problems and resolve them. We also inform you about outages that may go unnoticed, and we can provide regular reports upon request.

Why should you have Slidebird maintain your WordPress site?

Why website maintenance is necessary should no longer be a question. Why you can't/shouldn't do it yourself is a question you'll have to answer for yourself. Do you have the necessary resources for truly regular maintenance, updates, and so on? Do you have the necessary technical know-how? What about in the event of an attack or a malfunction due to cross-reactions between individual plugins during updates? If you answered "no" to even one of these questions, or if you have further questions, then stay tuned or contact us.

Our maintenance packages in detail

Essentials

Our basic package includes all essential maintenance for your WordPress site. This package forms the basis for every maintenance contract. All other packages build upon this "Essentials" package.

We will perform weekly updates of your plugins and theme, as well as all necessary WordPress updates.

We monitor your website in real time. As soon as there is a disruption, such as a server outage or similar, we are notified and can react immediately.

Depending on your hosting provider, we back up your site either directly on the server itself using a server-side solution or via a plugin solution.

You can reach us by phone or email during normal business hours. 30 minutes of support are included per month. However, we're not sticklers for the details, so we have a simple rule of thumb: as long as we can resolve your issue in under 10 minutes, we won't charge you anything extra!

You will receive a monthly performance report detailing our work. This report includes all updates, backups, and other tasks we have completed. 

Safety First

With our Safety First package, you can relax and rely on our expertise in GDPR and cybersecurity. It includes all the services of the Essentials package plus the following additional services.

With this package, you're in safe hands. We work closely with iThemes Security. We protect your WordPress website with a firewall and malware protection. Your site is scanned daily for viruses and malware. Many other features, such as directory protection, two-factor authentication, and more, are also included in the package.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) presents many of our clients with a significant challenge. We thoroughly review your website monthly and conduct a GDPR check. We collaborate with a Vienna-based law firm specializing in data protection and online law. 

According to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the German Federal Court of Justice (BGH), as a website operator or WooCommerce shop operator, you are obligated to obtain informed consent from your visitors for all cookies related to marketing or statistics. Companies that ignore this requirement face warnings and substantial fines. This package ensures you're on the safe side. We'll configure your cookie consent banner in compliance with the law, so that cookies are only loaded after the user has given their consent. We'll also update your cookie settings whenever you install new plugins or services.

We got your back

In addition to all the services included in the Essentials and Safety First packages, this package also provides comprehensive Google Analytics data and ongoing technical optimization of your website to improve performance. 

Google Analytics is arguably the best-known and most comprehensive analytics tool in the world of online marketing. We can set up a new account for you or configure your existing account and link it to our reporting tool. You'll receive a monthly report with many important metrics, such as the total number of visitors, bounce rate, time spent on site, returning and new visitors, and much more.

The performance of your WordPress site is a crucial factor for a successful website or online store. Through various ongoing technical optimizations such as caching, lazy loading, image compression, minimizing HTTP requests, and more, we improve your loading time. This also increases the satisfaction of your website visitors. Furthermore, your website's performance is essential for good SEO results. We keep a close eye on your Web Core Vitals and continuously work to optimize them.

FAQs

Most maintenance work is automated. Otherwise, we couldn't offer this fantastic value for money. However, there are of course situations where personal contact is desired or even necessary. Naturally, you can contact us by phone or email anytime during business hours. The package price includes 30 minutes per month. However, we're not sticklers for the details, so this is just a guideline.

Our WordPress maintenance contracts have a minimum term of 6 months. We can offer you a 2-month discount for annual payments. 

No, you don't have to! We can work with any provider. However, a fast server response time is essential for a professional website. Therefore, in exceptional cases, we may recommend switching servers.

Of course! Most of our customers have WooCommerce shops under contract with us. However, prices may vary slightly depending on the setup. This will be discussed during our initial consultation.

Automated pings are used to check the availability of the site at short intervals (a few seconds). If the WordPress site or WooCommerce shop does not respond, we are notified and can react immediately. 

Of course not, don't worry! We work exclusively on a so-called staging site. This is a copy of the website where we update WordPress and plugins, and the functionality is tested after each update. Only then are the changes rolled out to the live site.
