“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.
