Regular WordPress and plugin updates are the single best way to protect your website from being hacked. Updating keeps the site fast and reliable, fixes the small bugs developers have found, and gives you access to new features. Our update service also includes a number of tasks that help the site perform better in search results.

We offer WordPress and plugin updates both as a one-off job and as a regular maintenance package.

What the service covers

  • WordPress and plugin updates (including premium plugins, where licences are available)
  • Security hardening and improvements
  • Upgrading the server’s PHP version
  • Testing the site after updating (both the visitor view and the admin area)
  • Backing up files and the database
  • Cleaning, optimising and indexing the database
  • Configuring and optimising the cache
  • Optimisation work to improve speed
  • Site monitoring, with immediate intervention if errors appear
  • Speed optimisation and ongoing monitoring of it
  • SEO improvements and optimisation
  • UX recommendations for improving the shop and general usability

What does updating WordPress give you?

  • Better security
  • A faster, more reliable website
  • Broader functionality
  • Better positions in search results
  • Maintenance you do not have to think about – we keep a finger on the pulse and head problems off early

You will find more information on our website maintenance service page.

For smaller websites we offer quarterly maintenance, with updates carried out every three months – a sensible option for sites that need updating less often.

Frequently asked questions

How much does this cost?

This job typically takes around 1,5 hours, which works out at roughly 75 € + VAT. We’ll give you the exact price after a free assessment – and if the job turns out smaller, you pay less.

How quickly can you start?

We usually pick up smaller jobs within 1–3 working days. If your site is down or it’s a security incident, we start the same day – just say so when you write.

What if the job takes longer than expected?

If it turns out the scope is growing, we get in touch and agree it with you before carrying on. You’ll never receive an invoice for something that wasn’t discussed beforehand.

Do I have to move my site to you?

No. We do the work where your site already lives. All we need is access to the WordPress admin and usually to the hosting as well.

Is a backup made before the work?

Yes, always. Before any change we take a copy of the files and the database, so it can be rolled back in seconds if needed.

What our clients say

Long-standing partnerships say more than any slogan. Several of the clients below have been with us for over seven years.

We have worked with Birk for eight years now. This time we wanted a new website for the company, and the goals were set high from the very start – in visuals, functionality, manageability and SEO. Thanks to Birk’s professional approach we got a website of a high standard that met our expectations 100%. The collaboration went smoothly because Birk is a very good and direct communicator, helpful, dependable and conscientious.

Thank you for the patience, the good ideas and the understanding. Thank you for visualising it and making it visible. I liked that Zezz keeps its word and stays flexible.
