Your site goes down just hours before your seasonal promo goes live. Panic sets in. Emails bounce. Customers vanish. It’s the kind of stress no small business owner wants. The thing is, websites aren’t ‘set and forget’. They need regular care. Behind every stable WordPress site is a routine of updates, checks, and quiet fixes…
Some small business owners wait until something breaks before thinking about website maintenance. Others try to handle it themselves, fitting updates and fixes around everything else.

Running a business takes priority — we get it. Your website, built years ago, did the job back then.

You’ve likely come across hundreds of WordPress themes, each claiming to be “the perfect one.” But picking the right one can feel confusing, especially if you’re not a designer or developer.
