How it works

What we actually do.

01
Staging clone

We spin up a staging copy of your live site before touching anything.

  • Full database + file clone
  • Isolated from live traffic
  • Ready within minutes
02
Update & test

Core, plugins, and themes are updated and tested on staging first.

  • Visual regression check
  • Form & checkout tested
  • PHP error log reviewed
03
Push to live

Once testing passes, we push to production — zero downtime.

  • Atomic deployment
  • Cache cleared & warmed
  • Uptime monitor checked
04
Monthly report

You get a plain-English report of everything done and site health.

  • Updates applied list
  • Uptime & speed scores
  • Next month preview

Questions

Straight answers.

We run a full maintenance cycle once per month, typically in the first week. If a critical security patch is released mid-month, we apply it immediately at no extra charge.
Because we test on staging first, breakage rarely reaches your live site. If it ever does, we fix it immediately — it's covered as part of your plan.
