Design is just the start: why website maintenance matters more than you think

You’ve got a shiny new WordPress website, designed to perfection, with stunning visuals and sleek functionality. Congrats! But here’s the catch – keeping that site running smoothly isn’t just about the initial design. It’s like buying a car: it looks great when you drive it out of the dealership, but without regular maintenance, things will eventually go awry.

Many clients assume that after a website is built, the developer’s job is done. But here’s the reality: WordPress maintenance is crucial. The CMS, themes, and plugins need regular updates, security patches must be applied, and backups need to be in place. And no, free WordPress, themes, or plugins don’t come with free maintenance! When things break (and trust me, they do), it’s the developer’s job to fix them—but only if they're on the payroll.

That’s where a maintenance plan comes in. Without one, asking your developer to fix issues for free is like asking your car mechanic for a complimentary tune-up months after your purchase.

Of course, a basic plan with a static website—which requires far fewer updates and fewer moving parts—naturally comes with lower maintenance costs. But even these sites aren’t totally set-and-forget. While static websites are more affordable to maintain, they still need occasional check-ups to stay secure and fast.

So, whether your site is powered by dynamic WordPress or a static, simpler setup, regular maintenance is an essential part of keeping it functional, safe, and up-to-date. Remember, design is just the start—maintenance is the secret sauce that keeps your site running long-term.
