WordPress maintenance is the monthly care of your website: updating WordPress, plugins and the theme, making backups, keeping an eye on security and fixing whatever breaks. I'm Àlex Martínez and I look after WordPress websites for freelancers and small businesses from €35/month, with no lock-in and a reply within 24 working hours.
What I do on your WordPress every month
You run your business; I keep your website working.
Updates
I update WordPress, plugins and the theme to the latest stable version and check that everything still works.
Backups
Automatic backups, monthly or weekly depending on the plan, stored away from your website’s server.
Security
I watch for vulnerabilities, block suspicious logins and review passwords.
Speed
Caching, images and database optimised so your website loads fast.
Fixes
If something breaks after an update, I fix it at no extra cost.
Direct support
Email or WhatsApp me and I’ll reply within 24 working hours.

How we get started, step by step
You tell me
What your website is like, where it’s hosted and what worries you.
I review your WordPress
I check pending updates, outdated plugins and possible security holes, and tell you what I find.
We choose a plan
Whichever fits your website. If something is urgent, we fix it before we start.
I take care of it monthly
I update, make the backups and keep an eye on the site. If anything happens, I let you know.
A website without maintenance ends up causing problems
WordPress, plugins and the theme are updated separately and often. If nobody checks them, sooner or later something breaks. I explain it in more detail in why WordPress maintenance matters.
- Security holes in outdated plugins
- Layout or shop errors after an update
- A website that gets slower and slower
- No backup when you need it most

WordPress maintenance FAQs
How much does WordPress maintenance cost?
The Basic Plan costs €35/month and the Advanced Plan €45/month, with no lock-in. Both include updates, backups, fixes for issues caused by updates and technical support. For one-off jobs I offer hour packs.
What’s the difference between the Basic and Advanced plans?
How often backups are made (monthly or weekly) and the support hours included (1 or 2 a month). The Advanced Plan is the one I recommend for online shops and busier websites.
Is there a minimum contract?
No. Plans are monthly and you can stop whenever you like. I just ask for 15 days’ notice before the next month.
Do you maintain WooCommerce shops?
Yes. For shops I recommend the Advanced Plan, because weekly backups matter if you get orders every day.
How quickly do you respond to an issue?
Within 24 working hours, on both plans.
Does maintenance include content or design changes?
Support hours cover small changes: text, images or prices. For design changes or new features I offer hour packs at a preferential rate for maintenance clients.
Can I hire you if you didn’t build my website?
Yes. Before we start I review the state of your WordPress and, if I find problems, I explain them before the plan begins. I just need administrator access.
Do you only work in Barcelona?
No. I’m based in Barcelona, but I do maintenance remotely for freelancers and small businesses anywhere. If you’re in Barcelona, see also website maintenance in Barcelona.
