Your website still needs attention after launch. WordPress updates, backups and security checks can quickly become another job on an already busy list. kube creative provides WordPress maintenance and support for businesses in Canterbury, Herne Bay and across Kent, as well as clients elsewhere in the UK.
I’m Paul, the designer and developer behind kube creative, formerly KC Web Design. I can help look after your WordPress website, explain technical issues in plain English and give you a clear route to support. You do not need to have commissioned the original website from me.
What does WordPress maintenance cover?
A care plan brings routine website checks into a regular process. The exact inclusions depend on your chosen plan and the condition of your site, but the core work focuses on keeping its software maintained, its data backed up and potential problems visible.
- WordPress, theme and plugin updates: keeping supported software current and checking the site after changes. Updates can introduce conflicts, so compatibility needs attention rather than a blanket guarantee.
- Backups: maintaining off-site copies so there is a recovery route if something goes wrong. The available backup and the nature of the problem affect what can be restored and how long it takes.
- Security and uptime monitoring: watching for availability issues and signs that need investigation. Monitoring helps identify problems; it cannot make any website immune to attack.
- Website health reporting: making routine findings and recommended next steps easier to understand.
Practical support when your website needs attention
A broken form, a plugin conflict or an unfamiliar dashboard message can interrupt your day. I can help investigate the cause and explain the options, with support handled according to your agreed plan.
We can also discuss content changes, layout improvements and additional functionality. Before starting work outside your plan, I explain the scope and any extra cost. A monthly care plan is separate from commissioning a new website or a substantial rebuild.
Can you take over a website built by another developer?
Yes. The first step is reviewing the site’s setup, software, hosting and available access. That helps identify unsupported plugins, outstanding updates or other issues that need attention before ongoing care begins.
I will explain any initial work required and whether the existing setup is practical to maintain. If a redesign would be a better long-term option, we can discuss it separately rather than committing you to support that cannot solve the underlying problem. See my WordPress development and website services for the broader options.
Website speed, SEO and ongoing improvements
A slow site can have several causes, from hosting limits to large images or an overloaded plugin setup. Performance checks help identify where attention is needed, but meaningful improvements may involve work beyond routine updates.
Maintenance and SEO also serve different purposes. Keeping the site healthy supports a usable foundation; improving search visibility may additionally require content work, technical changes and an ongoing SEO plan. The care options below show where performance monitoring and SEO reporting are included. Neither a care plan nor a software update guarantees a particular Google ranking.
Choosing the right monthly care plan
Start with the level of help you need, rather than the longest feature list. Essentials focuses on routine care. Growth adds ongoing improvements and reporting, while Partner is intended for businesses that need a closer working relationship and additional support.
The plans below share the same details as the homepage. Before you sign up, we confirm the inclusions, support arrangements, any initial remedial work, third-party costs and applicable terms. If hosting or a migration is part of the proposal, we agree what is involved rather than assuming every site needs to move.

If you are unsure which plan fits, tell me about your WordPress website, where it is hosted and what you need help with. We can start with its current condition and work out a sensible next step.
