WordPress updates done carefully — backup check, sequenced updates, smoke tests, short report.
A bounded Update & Safety Check for small WordPress sites. Target: within 2 business days after access and go-ahead. Scope reply: usually within one business day. Async written process — no calls required.
The problem: core, theme, or plugin updates are waiting, and an update can break a layout, a form, or the whole site. This pass checks a usable backup first, applies updates in a sensible order, then smoke-tests key pages and forms.
Include your website URL and what you need updated (plus any error/screenshot). I’ll reply with whether it fits the fixed-price scope — usually within one business day. Payment is requested only after that confirmation. No payment link on this page.

How it works
Buyer flow: diagnose → confirm scope → payment → access → work → completion note.
- Diagnose (from your email) Send your website URL, what you need updated, and any error message or screenshot. You do not need to share access yet.
- Confirm scope I’ll reply with whether it fits the fixed-price scope — usually within one business day. Payment is requested only after that confirmation — not before.
- Payment, then access After confirmation, payment details are sent in writing. Access is requested only when needed, least-privilege and temporary — never passwords by email.
- Work + completion note Backup check → sequenced updates → smoke tests → short completion report. Target within 2 business days after access + go-ahead. Optional £35/month after a successful pass.
Access we need
You do not need to share access immediately. First send the issue and website URL. I’ll confirm whether it fits the fixed-price scope. Access is requested only when needed. Work uses least-privilege temporary access (temporary admin user preferred). Passwords are never requested by email. Access is removed when the pass is done.
- WordPress administrator access when needed (temporary admin user preferred)
- Hosting / file / backup panel access if WP-only backups aren’t enough (nice-to-have)
Acceptance: key pages load without critical errors after updates; completion report delivered. Form email delivery can be confirmed by you on a test submit.

Why fixed-scope vs open-ended hiring
This £59 pass is a fixed checklist: backup check, updates, smoke tests, short report. You know the price and boundary before payment. Open-ended hiring (hourly freelancers or agency retainers) suits discovery and ongoing change, but the total is open. Choose fixed-scope when the maintenance pass is clear; choose open-ended hiring when you need continuous, undefined work.
FAQ
Is £59 enough for a big WooCommerce store?
This offer is sized for a small personal or brochure WordPress site. Large stores, heavy custom code, or major theme rebuilds need a separate quote.
Do you guarantee the site won’t break?
No uptime or “never breaks” guarantee. We check backups first, update in a sensible order, smoke-test key pages, and include one rollback attempt if our update causes a reproducible break during the pass.
When do I pay?
Only after we confirm the £59 scope and access compatibility. There is no payment link on this page.
Can I start with monthly (£35) only?
Yes, if the site was recently updated elsewhere — month 1 still includes a first checklist run. Most clients start with the £59 pass.
Do you need a phone call?
No. Everything is async by email.
How fast do you reply to the first email?
Usually within one business day with whether it fits the fixed-price scope. Delivery timing (after access and go-ahead) is separate — target within 2 business days for the pass itself.
Do I send passwords by email?
No. Passwords are never requested by email. Access is requested only when needed, using least-privilege temporary access, and removed when the work is done.
Why not just hire someone open-ended?
Fixed-scope means one agreed pass and price after written confirmation. Open-ended hiring is better for continuous discovery — but the bill is open. Use this offer when a bounded update pass is enough.
