1.) Foundational Website Care & Core Operations

As a website maintenance specialist with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen the web change dramatically. It’s no longer enough to just have a website; you need a strategy to keep it secure, fast, and healthy. In my time working with WordPress, I’ve seen countless business owners treat website maintenance as a reactive chore—something they only think about when something breaks. But the truth is, a proactive approach is what truly makes a difference.

At WMS NZ, my team and I believe that website maintenance is about building a robust digital ecosystem. Every service, from a simple update to a comprehensive SEO audit, is an interconnected piece of a larger puzzle. Neglecting one area can lead to a domino effect of problems, like an outdated plugin creating a security vulnerability that opens the door to a cyberattack.

This report is my way of demystifying what a good website maintenance plan should look like. I’m going to lay out a comprehensive topical map that will cover 25 key web services, and for each one, you’ll find a detailed content outline, an honest look at the benefits and risks, and a clear strategy. This isn’t just a list of services; it’s a blueprint for building a strong, reliable, and successful online presence.
