WordPress Maintenance and Support
Most people looking for WordPress support are really looking for the same thing twice: someone to fix what’s broken now, and someone to keep it from breaking again. Oddo Design focuses on custom design and development. The ongoing care — updates, security, backups, performance, and the small fixes that prevent the next emergency — is handled by WPSimplifyd, a sister company built for exactly that.
Why Ongoing Care Beats Emergency Fixes.
One-time support fixes the symptom. A site that crashes every few months from outdated plugins, a contact form full of spam, or a homepage that loads slowly isn't asking for a single fix — it’s asking for a system. The pattern is almost always the same: someone calls when the site is already down, pays to have it patched, and then waits for the next thing to break.
A monthly Care Plan inverts that. Updates happen on a schedule. Backups run continuously. Security stays current. Small problems get caught before they turn into expensive ones. Same money over a year, far less drama — and a site you can stop worrying about.
What WPSimplifyd’s Care Plan Covers.
The WPS Website Care Plan handles the recurring work that keeps WordPress healthy:
- Manual updates to WordPress core, themes, and plugins — tested in staging, not pushed live blindly
- Security hardening, malware scanning, and 24/7 uptime monitoring
- Real-time off-site backups
- Performance tuning and database health checks
- Spam filtering for forms and comments
- One hour of expert support time per month — for fixes, small improvements, or strategic input
- Plain-English monthly reports
No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime. Full pricing, FAQs, and project examples live on the WPSimplifyd site.
What If You Just Need a One-Time Fix?
Sometimes a site needs to be rescued before it can be maintained. A failed update, a malware infection, or years of accumulated neglect can leave WordPress in a state where ongoing care isn’t enough — the underlying issues need to be cleaned up first.
WPSimplifyd’s Website Rescue service handles that work: a one-time engagement to repair, clean, and stabilize the site so a Care Plan can take over from there. Most Rescue clients move onto a Care Plan afterward, because the conditions that caused the original problem rarely fix themselves.
How This Fits With Custom Design Work.
New sites built by Oddo Design are typically handed off to a Care Plan at launch — so the site that just got built doesn't quietly fall out of date six months later. Existing-site clients can pick up a Care Plan whenever they're ready.
The two businesses share infrastructure, tooling, and four decades of WordPress experience, so the transition is seamless either direction.
