The service starts with a mandatory initial diagnostic, because taking over a site without a baseline review is rarely a good bet.

(WebConsulting pricing page) · [our sources](/sources/) - 97% of WordPress vulnerabilities disclosed in 2024 came from plugins and themes. (Patchstack, 2024) · [our sources](/sources/) - No numeric uptime is guaranteed without controlling the full hosting chain: maintenance reduces the risk, it doesn't eliminate it. (WebConsulting method) · [our sources](/sources/) Who it's for ## This service is for you if... Companies that already have a site, but no real method to keep it healthy: a site taken over from a previous provider, with no serious backups, never updated or updated "whenever someone thinks of it." - A WordPress or CMS site taken over from a previous provider. - A site with no serious backup. - A site never updated, or updated at random. - A company with no reliable technical point of contact. - The site is too fragile, too poorly built or too outdated: in that case, the right answer might be a redesign, not a patchwork subscription. Commitment Our promise Initial diagnostic, backups, monitoring. Priority handling, never total immunity. [Free 30-min call](/contact/) Free initial consultation, reply within 48 business hours. Benefits ## Website maintenance : what you gain 01 ### Mandatory initial diagnostic Before any subscription, the site is audited: overall state, component versions, obvious risks, existing backups, ease of takeover. 02 ### Regular backups A checked restore point, storage on a separate space when possible, a documented restore process. 03 ### Critical component updates Core, extensions, themes if the site depends on them, priority security patches. 04 ### Monitoring Availability monitoring, alerts on blocking incidents, basic checks for visible errors. 05 ### Priority handling of blocking incidents Fast first response during business hours. Not a promise of full resolution in under 4 hours in every case. 06 ### Restoration if needed The site must be cleanly restorable from a healthy backup. Before / After ## What you lose. What you gain. Your current situation - Site never updated, known vulnerabilities left unpatched. - No backup in case of hack or crash. - No one to contact in case of an incident. - Site down undetected until a customer reports it. - Blind takeover of a site with no idea what's maintainable. With WebConsulting - Initial diagnostic before any takeover. - Regular backups, restoration possible. - Monitoring and alerts on blocking incidents. - Priority handling, no promise of total immunity. - €39/month, public price, quoted for out-of-scope cases. Process ## How your Website maintenance project works 1. 01 ### Initial diagnostic Overall state, component versions, obvious risks, existing backups, ease of takeover. 2. 02 ### Minimal fix-up Before talking subscription, the essentials sometimes need fixing: access, backups, critical updates, cleaning up the most urgent issues. 3. 03 ### Monitoring setup Once the base is cleaned up, the site goes under watch: monitoring, regular checks, interventions as needed within the agreed scope. 4. 04 ### Ongoing follow-up The point isn't to fix things one day, but to prevent a small technical issue from becoming a crash or a business loss. What you get ## Deliverables - Mandatory initial diagnostic - Regular backups - Security and maintenance updates - Site monitoring - Priority handling of blocking incidents - Restoration if needed Pricing ## Website maintenance Security, updates, daily backups, support < 4 business hours. €39/month 6-month minimum commitment · Monthly plan · No surprises [Start my project](/contact/) [See all pricing](/tarifs/) Frequently asked questions ## Frequently asked questions about Website maintenance Does my site need to have been built by WebConsulting? No. This offer exists precisely for sites already live, even if built elsewhere. Is the diagnostic mandatory? Yes, for an existing site taken over from outside. It's the only serious way to know what's maintainable, what needs fixing, and what actually calls for a redesign. Do you guarantee a site never hacked or never down? No. No serious provider can promise that. Maintenance reduces the risk, detects faster and restores more cleanly. What does "4h" support actually mean? It means a fast first response to a blocking incident during business hours, not necessarily full resolution within 4 hours in every case. Can I hand you an old WordPress site? Yes, but only after a diagnostic. Some sites are maintainable; others are too unstable, too patched together or too outdated to be cleanly taken over at €39/month. Does maintenance include SEO? No. A well-maintained site helps SEO, but maintenance isn't an SEO service. ## Sources - [Sources and method: all our measurements and references](/sources/) - [PageSpeed Insights: check our Lighthouse scores](https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis?url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2F) - [Guide: WordPress or Astro in 2026?](/guides/wordpress-vs-astro-2026/) Partager [](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2Fexpertises%2Fmaintenance-site-web%2F&title=Website%20maintenance)[](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Website%20maintenance&url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2Fexpertises%2Fmaintenance-site-web%2F)[](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2Fexpertises%2Fmaintenance-site-web%2F)[](https://wa.me/?text=Website%20maintenance%20https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2Fexpertises%2Fmaintenance-site-web%2F)[](mailto:?subject=Website%20maintenance&body=https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2Fexpertises%2Fmaintenance-site-web%2F) Ready to take action? ## Start with a free consultation Un appel de 30 minutes pour comprendre votre situation, identifier les priorités et vous proposer une feuille de route chiffrée. 6-month minimum commitment.
