Site Care, Maintenance & Security

This service is for businesses that want their site looked after without hiring a full time developer.

I handle updates, backups, small content changes, uptime checks, and security monitoring on a regular schedule.

You get simple status summaries and clear next steps so you are not surprised by issues when the stack or platform changes.
