A Higher Standard of Care from Accelerated Web Systems
If you own a WordPress website, you’ve probably seen offers for automated updates, either from your hosting company or a plugin. While automation may sound convenient, it can also be risky. At Accelerated Web Systems, we take a different approach. Our Peace-of-Mind WordPress Maintenance Plans are handled manually, and that’s by design.
Here’s why we believe manual WordPress maintenance offers a higher level of care and why it’s worth every penny.
1. We Choose the Right Time to Update
Automated systems update your website as soon as a new version of a plugin, theme, or WordPress core is released. That might sound great until an update breaks your site – or worse, causes data loss. By updating manually, we schedule updates during low-traffic hours and ensure version compatibility before anything goes live. No surprises, no downtime.
2. We Manage and Monitor User Access
Automated systems don’t know who should have access to your backend or who shouldn’t. Part of our manual maintenance includes culling old users, updating roles, and ensuring your admin area isn’t cluttered with outdated or unauthorized accounts. That’s good for security and efficiency.
3. We Actually Test Your Website Forms
Here’s a little-known truth: forms break all the time. Whether it’s a contact form, a lead magnet, or a booking request, a broken form can cost you leads and revenue. We manually test your forms to make sure they’re working every single week – something automation tools simply can’t do.
4. We Review the Site Before and After Updates
Unlike automation tools, we don’t just “set it and forget it.” We benchmark your site before updates and manually inspect the front end afterward. That way, if anything looks off, such as design glitches, broken functionality, or weird spacing, we catch it before your customers do.
5. We Handle All Updates at Once
Themes, plugins, core files, and patches – we do it all in one go. That keeps your website running smoothly without piecemeal updates that can introduce conflicts or bugs.
6. We Get to Know Your Website Personally
Because we perform your updates by hand and by eye, week after week, we get to know your site. That means we can spot small problems before they become big ones. That kind of familiarity and consistency is impossible with automated tools.
7. You Have the Same Team Watching Over Your Website
Every week, the same people from our team update your site. That consistency gives us the ability to notice trends, resolve issues quickly, and maintain the long-term health of your digital presence.
8. Customized Maintenance Plans for Your Specific Needs
Your business isn’t cookie-cutter, and your website care plan shouldn’t be either. Our WordPress Maintenance Plans are fully customizable to fit your needs. We offer optional services such as:
- Speed Optimization: We keep your website running fast and lean with image compression, script management, and performance tuning.
- Always-Updated “Fine Print” Pages: Need us to keep your Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or Disclaimers current? We’ve got it covered.
- On-Demand Website Work: From page edits to content swaps and new plugin setups, we can serve as your on-call web team.
- Customer Support: Have a question or need help with something on your site? Our friendly team is just an email away, and we respond quickly.
These added services are perfect for growing businesses that need more than just “basic upkeep.” With our plans, you’re getting a dedicated partner in your online success – not just a maintenance robot.
The Benefits of Regular WordPress Maintenance
Think of your website like a vehicle. It performs better, lasts longer, and avoids costly breakdowns with regular care.
Here are just a few of the key benefits our clients enjoy by staying on top of their WordPress maintenance:
- Stronger Security: Regular updates and monitoring help protect your site from hackers, malware, and vulnerabilities.
- Better Performance: Sites that are maintained weekly run faster, deliver better user experiences, and are less likely to break.
- Longer Website Lifespan: A well-maintained site can go years without needing a full redesign, saving you money in the long run.
- Higher SEO Rankings: Search engines favor fast, secure, and well-functioning websites. Regular maintenance supports your SEO efforts.
- Fewer Emergency Fixes: Proactive care means fewer unexpected issues, panicked calls, or costly rush jobs to fix broken features.
- Worry-Free: Knowing your site is being looked after by professionals frees up your time to focus on running your business.
Support You Can Count On
Our clients love that they don’t have to think about WordPress maintenance anymore. They never have to worry about uptime, security patches, expired plugins, or broken forms. We handle it all. And because we maintain their websites regularly and with care, their sites last longer, perform better, and support their business goals.
Manual Over Automated – It’s Just Better
Automated tools might be “good enough” for hobbyists. But if your website is tied to your business revenue, customer experience, or brand reputation, you need a real person maintaining it. Manual WordPress maintenance is a higher level of care, and at Accelerated Web Systems, it’s our standard.
