“Maintenance” usually means plugin updates and an invoice. Management means someone is actually responsible: watching uptime, keeping backups honest, handling the DNS-and-email weirdness, making the small content edits, and answering when something breaks.
Taking over from a developer or agency who’s leaving? Here’s how the handoff works.
What this covers
- Managed WordPress hosting
- VPS setup and hardening for businesses that want their own server
- Plugin, theme, and core updates
- Daily backups
- Security and uptime monitoring
- Content edits
- Campaign landing pages built from your copy and existing templates
- Conversion tracking: Tag Manager, GA4, Meta and Google Ads, set up with your media buyers
- Form-to-CRM connections (GoHighLevel, HubSpot, and similar)
- Staging environments, so changes are checked before they reach the live site
- Page builder work (Bricks, Elementor), including reusable sections
- Basic SEO hygiene
- Analytics and reporting
- DNS and email help
- Forms and support
- Emergency support
- Ongoing improvements

Who it’s for
Businesses that don’t want to think about their website between launches, and never want to be dependent on a developer who’s vanished.
Proof, not promises
Common questions
Our developer or agency is leaving. Can you take over?
Yes, and it's a common reason people get in touch. Access, backups, forms, and tracking get secured first, then everything else. The website takeover page walks through the first few weeks.
Do you work on sites you didn't build?
Yes. A site built by someone else, often on a page builder like Bricks or Elementor, is a normal starting point. The first step is always learning how yours actually works before changing anything.
Which plan do I need?
Essential covers a small site that needs to stay safe and online. Growth adds monthly content edits and SEO upkeep. Teams with steady work like landing pages, tracking, and integrations fit Technical Partner or a monthly block of hours. If you're unsure, the first call sorts it out.
What happens when something breaks?
You reach me directly, not a ticket queue. Backups are tested and changes go through staging first, so most problems can be rolled back quickly.
