About
A WordPress Maintenance Service That Actually Does the Work
Most WordPress maintenance plans are abandonware $49/month for “weekly updates” that run automated plugin updates without testing, occasional backup that nobody’s ever restored from, and no response when something actually breaks. Meanwhile, your site accumulates security vulnerabilities, plugin incompatibilities, and performance decay until something catastrophic finally breaks through.
Shivi Technologies runs WordPress maintenance as real ongoing engineering work staging-tested updates, proactive security monitoring, performance tracking, backup verification, uptime alerting, and emergency response with actual humans who know your site. It’s boring work. It’s also what keeps WordPress sites alive in year three, year five, and year ten.
Who we are
Maintenance Done Like Software Maintenance, Not Like an Auto-Updater
Real WordPress maintenance is software maintenance with staging environments, change control, incident response, and documentation. Automated plugin updates without testing aren’t maintenance; they’re a way to eventually break your site on a Tuesday afternoon.
We are a certified IT Service company.

WHAT WE OFFER
WordPress Maintenance Capabilities
From basic hygiene retainers to full managed WordPress support for high-traffic sites.
HOW WE WORK
How We Maintain WordPress Sites
Same discipline whether it’s a small business site or a high-traffic WordPress platform.
Onboarding Audit
Complete audit of current site state WordPress version, plugin inventory, security posture, performance baseline, backup verification, and hosting environment. Documentation of what we're taking over responsibility for.
Hardening& Setup
Initial hardening remove unused plugins, update outdated ones on staging, implement security baseline, verify backup systems work by doing a test restore, set up monitoring alerts. This first phase alone prevents many of the issues that sites eventually run into.
Ongoing Maintenance
Monthly cycle: staging-tested updates, security monitoring, performance checks, database cleanup, backup verification, and issue remediation. Monthly client report with what was done and what's coming next month.
Incident Response
When something goes wrong site down, hack, broken after update, performance crash humans who already know your site respond immediately. Root cause analysis, fix, post-incident hardening, and documentation so the same class of issue doesn't recur.
Why Shivi Technologies
Why Businesses Choose Us for WP Maintenance
Maintenance plans are a commodity. Here’s what separates real maintenance from the $49/month copycat plans.
Staging-Tested, Never Auto-Updated
Staging-Tested, Never Auto-Updated
We test every update on staging before production. Most cheap maintenance plans run automated updates that eventually break sites because plugin compatibility issues, theme conflicts, and WordPress core changes regularly collide in ways automation can't catch.
Backups Verified by Restore, Not Just Taken
Backups Verified by Restore, Not Just Taken
Backups that have never been tested by actual restore are backups you hope work not backups you know work. We test restores regularly, because the worst time to discover a backup is corrupted is during an incident.
Humans Who Know Your Site
Humans Who Know Your Site
Emergency response from engineers who already have context on your site architecture, plugin stack, and recent changes not a generic ticket queue starting from zero. When speed matters, context matters more.
Running WordPress without real maintenance and waiting for the eventual disaster?
CLIENT VOICES
What Maintenance Clients Say
We had worked with two agencies before this, and the difference here was execution. Our website was rebuilt properly, SEO issues were fixed at the core level, and we started seeing consistent leads within a few months.
What stood out was their understanding of both development and marketing. They didn't just run ads they fixed our funnel, improved product pages, and actually increased our conversion rate.
Their SEO approach is very technical and structured. They identified issues our previous agency completely missed. Rankings improved, but more importantly, the quality of leads improved.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
WP Maintenance Questions Clients Ask
Basic maintenance retainers start around $150/month for small business sites with light plugin stacks. Mid-tier retainers for standard business sites run $300–500/month. High-traffic, ecommerce, or high-plugin-complexity sites run $500–1,500+/month depending on scope. We quote based on actual complexity, not a flat "Basic/Pro/Enterprise" tier.
Core maintenance (WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates staging-tested), security monitoring and hardening, backup management with verified restores, performance monitoring, uptime alerts, and emergency response for incidents. Higher tiers add content updates, new page builds, SEO monitoring, and priority response SLAs.
Yes most of our maintenance clients are sites we inherited from other developers or agencies. We do a detailed onboarding audit first to understand the state we're taking over and document exactly what's happening under the hood.
Emergency response we take the site offline if necessary to limit damage, remove the malicious code, identify the entry point, restore from clean backup if needed, harden against the same vector, and produce a post-incident report. Included in higher maintenance tiers, or available as emergency one-off engagements.
With review. Plugin updates frequently break sites especially with heavily customized themes, older plugins, or unusual plugin combinations. We test every update on staging, verify nothing breaks, then deploy to production. Slower than auto-updates and it's the difference between maintenance that protects your site and maintenance that breaks it.
Yes WordPress performance work is one of our most common engagements, often included in maintenance retainers or as standalone engagements. Plugin audit, caching configuration, database cleanup, image optimization, and theme-level work typically deliver 2–4x speed improvements.
Yes. WooCommerce adds complexity to WordPress maintenance payment gateway integrations, inventory-sensitive updates, checkout testing, and order flow verification. We handle WooCommerce-specific maintenance with appropriate care around commerce operations.
