There is no requirement to take out a maintenance and health check plan, but we would strongly advise that you keep your website updated.

We build websites using the WordPress Content Management System (CMS) using a WordPress theme and several plugins. WordPress releases regular updates to its CMS. Plugins and themes also require regular updates to fix bugs and patch security loopholes. Research shows that out-of-date plugins are the most common way for hackers to infiltrate a WordPress site.

As standard, we won’t check your website for any updates or errors. We would therefore recommend you ensure the CMS, theme, and plugins are kept up to date to ensure the site stays secure and functions well.
