Project Intake
Request a website takeover check
Send the website address and the main concern. Do not send passwords or access keys here; I will explain a secure access route if an inspection is appropriate.
The takeover method
Inspect first. Then maintain what is actually there.
An inherited website is not placed on a cheap plan before its access, software, licences, backups and existing faults are understood.
What to send first
The public website address and the main concern
Do not send passwords or access keys in the form. A secure access route is agreed only if an inspection is appropriate.
01 / Website takeover
Six checks before routine care begins
-
Send the website address
Tell me who hosts it, what platform it uses if known, and which fault or maintenance gap is causing concern.
-
Review access and condition
I check ownership, versions, licences, backups, forms and the parts of the website the business relies on.
-
Separate old faults
Repairs needed before takeover are identified instead of being hidden inside a routine monthly or annual fee.
-
Write down the plan
The update cycle, backup route, checks, support channel, change allowance, reporting and exclusions are agreed for this website.
-
Back up, change and test
Risky work starts from a recovery point and finishes with the agreed enquiry, checkout, booking or login check.
-
Escalate what needs a decision
Unsupported software, larger repairs and new development are explained and quoted instead of silently ignored.
Choose the right care route
The price depends on who built the site and what it needs.
The managed renewal belongs to websites bought through the managed checkout. An inherited site is reviewed before its maintenance scope or price is agreed.
Managed website renewal
£250/year
After the included first year, unless cancelled before renewal.
02 / Care routes
Compare the three starting points
Choose by the current ownership and level of work, not by trying to force every website into the same plan.
Existing website
Takeover review, then a clear plan
An inherited WordPress or business website is inspected before the maintenance scope and price are agreed.
Regular changes
Active maintenance and management
From £350 per month where the brief includes continuing technical changes, content work or active improvement.
Maintenance plan boundaries
What is fixed on the managed annual plan?
The £250/year managed plan covers the domain, hosting, security, backups, essential updates and support for the website bought through the managed checkout. It follows the included first year and can be cancelled before renewal.
What is written down for an inherited website?
The proposal identifies the update cycle, backup storage and restoration route, post-change checks, support channel, response arrangement, any change allowance, reporting and third-party subscriptions. It also lists faults that must be fixed before routine care begins.
What is not included automatically?
Major repairs, redesigns, new features, malware clean-up, emergency out-of-hours work, paid plugin licences and unlimited edits are separate unless the written scope explicitly includes them.
Why back up before updating?
WordPress advises creating a backup before updates and keeping both site files and the database recoverable. Read the official WordPress update guidance and backup handbook.
Not sure whether maintenance or a rebuild makes sense?
Send the public website address and the main concern. I will explain the next access step if an inspection is appropriate.
Ask Sam to check it
After takeover
What ongoing website care looks like
Once access, ownership, the recovery route and the written scope are agreed, routine care follows a controlled change-and-check cycle. Work outside that scope is explained before it is added.
Accountable maintenance
What the maintenance record should make clear
What changed and when. Which important journey was checked. What needs a decision from the website owner. What sits outside the agreed maintenance scope.
03 / Ongoing care
The controlled change-and-check cycle
-
Plan the change
Routine updates and agreed requests are handled against the website’s written scope and important customer journeys.
-
Confirm the recovery point
Risky work starts only when the agreed backup or restoration route is available.
-
Change and check
The maintained component is changed, then the relevant form, checkout, booking or login route is checked where applicable.
-
Record and escalate
Material work is recorded. Unsupported software, larger faults and decisions for the owner are raised rather than hidden inside routine care.
Maintenance timing
There is no universal update timetable or emergency SLA. The maintenance cycle and response arrangement are written around the platform, risk and business-critical journeys.
- Routine work follows the agreed cycle.
- A risky update may be deferred while compatibility is checked.
- Urgent or out-of-hours work is covered only when the written scope says so.
Responsibility and terms
Responsibility starts only after the site is reviewed, any required stabilisation is agreed and the maintenance proposal is accepted.
- Included work and any change allowance are written down.
- Third-party subscriptions and pre-existing repairs are identified separately.
- New features and major development are quoted before work starts.
A sensible fit
- Ownership and the required access can be verified.
- The site is supportable or can first be stabilised.
- The business wants one accountable developer for agreed technical care.
Needs a different first step
- The website is actively compromised or needs emergency recovery.
- Ownership, access or a workable recovery route cannot be established.
- Unsupported code makes safe routine maintenance unviable.
- Unlimited edits, development or out-of-hours cover are expected under a routine fee.
Useful questions
Website & WordPress Maintenance FAQs
What does a website maintenance plan include?
The agreed plan can cover controlled software updates, backups, security housekeeping, uptime and SSL checks, form checks, technical fixes and a defined allowance for content changes. The exact list is written down after the website has been reviewed.
Can you maintain a WordPress site built by someone else?
Usually, but I inspect the WordPress version, plugins, theme, hosting, licences, backups and existing faults first. Anything that needs stabilising is identified before routine care and pricing begin.
Is the £250 per year care plan available for every website?
No. The £250 per year plan is tied to websites bought through the managed Web Spinner UK checkout. It begins automatically after the included first year unless cancelled before renewal, and covers domain, hosting, security, backups, essential updates and support for that managed build. Existing or third-party websites are assessed and quoted separately.
Is hosting the same as website maintenance?
No. Hosting keeps the website available on a server. Maintenance is the ongoing work around software, backups, checks, faults and agreed changes. A plan may include hosting, but the two are not interchangeable.
Are new pages and unlimited changes included?
Not automatically. Small agreed changes can be included in an active management scope. New pages, redesigns, integrations and substantial development are estimated separately so a care plan does not become an unclear unlimited-work promise.
What happens if the website is already broken or compromised?
The immediate job is diagnosis and recovery, not routine maintenance. I will explain what can be recovered, what needs specialist work and what it will cost before deciding whether the site is suitable for an ongoing plan.
