What's included in the WordPress website maintenance plan?

Every WordPress website maintenance plan includes plugin and core updates, regular backups, security scans, uptime monitoring, and a monthly report. Higher plans also include tested upgrades on a staging environment, performance optimization, and dedicated support. See the full breakdown in our pricing section.

How can I send you my login credentials?

We use an encrypted, secure method to receive your login credentials, never plain email. Once you choose a plan, we'll send you a private intake form with secure access sharing. Your credentials are handled with full confidentiality and never shared outside our team.

How do you keep WordPress websites up to date?

We regularly monitor WordPress core, plugin, and theme releases. Before we push any update live, we test it on a staging environment to check for conflicts or errors. Once it passes review, we apply it to your live site and confirm everything still works.

Can you improve my WordPress site's page speed?

Yes. We conduct a comprehensive performance audit to identify what's slowing down your site. We then handle image optimization, configure caching, integrate a CDN, and make sure your site runs on the latest PHP version. Most clients see noticeable speed improvement within the first week.

Do you provide Technical Support for websites that are not hosted on your servers?

Yes, we do. Howdy Tech provides WordPress website maintenance and support for sites hosted anywhere, including third-party hosting providers. You don't need to migrate your site to work with us. We simply need secure access, and we'll handle everything from there.

Do you offer discounts if we have multiple websites?

Yes, we offer custom pricing for clients with multiple websites. If you manage more than two WordPress sites, reach out to our team, and we'll put together a plan that covers them all at a rate that makes sense for your situation.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Website Maintenance Matters for Santa Rosa Businesses

In a competitive local market like Santa Rosa, your website is often the first thing a customer sees. If it's slow, broken, or outdated, they leave, and they don't come back.

First Impressions Are Final

Visitors decide in 3 seconds whether your site is worth staying on.

Google Ranks Maintained Sites

Fast, secure, updated websites consistently rank higher in search results.

Security Threats Are Real

Outdated websites are easy targets for hackers and malware attacks.

Downtime Costs You Leads

Every hour your site is down, a lead goes elsewhere.

Signs Your Website Needs Professional Maintenance

If your pages take more than three seconds to load, you're already losing visitors. If your plugins haven't been updated in months, you're sitting on a security risk. Broken links, outdated contact information, error messages, or a site that doesn't display properly on mobile, any one of these tells potential customers that your business isn't paying attention. Professional website maintenance in Santa Rosa fixes all of it before it costs you.

What Santa Rosa Businesses Say About Us

Book Your Free Consultation

I had been putting off getting proper maintenance for over a year. After one security scare, I reached out to HowdyTech LLC. They cleaned everything up, set up a solid maintenance plan, and I haven't had a single issue since. The monthly reports alone are worth it.

Marcus Delgado

Owner

Our restaurant website used to go down randomly, especially on weekends. HowdyTech LLC sorted out the uptime monitoring and fixed a plugin conflict that had been causing it. Now I don't even think about the website; it just works, and that's exactly what I needed.

Priya Nair

Co-Owner

As a real estate agent, my website is how clients find me. HowdyTech LLC keeps everything updated and loading fast. They made a few content changes I requested the same day I asked. I'd recommend them to any local business that relies on their site for leads.

Christine Watkins

Realtor

Running an e-commerce store means we can't afford downtime during peak seasons. HowdyTech LLC set everything up quickly, and the difference was immediate: faster load times, daily backups, and someone who actually responds when something comes up. Our sales periods now run without a single technical issue. Best team!

Jordan Ellsworth

Founder

I didn't realize how much was wrong with my site until HowdyTech LLC ran an audit. Outdated plugins, a slow homepage, broken links, all of it was there. They fixed everything in the first week and now handle ongoing maintenance. My traffic actually went up after the cleanup. Very happy with the results.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Website Maintenance Frequently Asked Questions

For most business websites, monthly maintenance covers the basics, plugin updates, backups, and security scans. If your site runs e-commerce, processes payments, or gets heavy traffic, weekly or even daily attention on certain tasks keeps it stable and protected.

No service can guarantee zero risk, but regular maintenance cuts the risk significantly. If a breach does happen, we act immediately, removing the malware, patching the vulnerability, and restoring from a clean backup so your site is back online as fast as possible.

Yes. We work with websites built on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, custom code, and most other platforms. We start with a full audit so we understand the structure and can maintain it correctly from day one without disrupting anything that's already working.

In almost every case, no. We carry out updates and changes in staging environments first, then push them live only after testing confirms everything works correctly. Scheduled maintenance windows, when needed, happen during your site's lowest-traffic hours.

No. All HowdyTech LLC website maintenance plans in Santa Rosa run month-to-month. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. We believe you should stay because the service works, not because you're locked in.

Your report covers every task performed that month, including updates applied, backups completed, security scans run, uptime percentage, page speed scores, and any issues we found and fixed. It's written in plain language, so you don't need a technical background to understand it.

Absolutely, and this is actually one of the most common situations we handle. We start with a recovery audit to assess the current state, fix what's broken or outdated, and then move into a regular maintenance plan so the backlog never builds up again.
