YOUR WEBSITE SHOULDN'T BE A RISK YOU ONLY THINK ABOUT WHEN IT BREAKS

RubyWeb provides proactive maintenance and security monitoring for South African businesses that can’t afford their website going down, or being compromised, without warning. 
The Problem

Neglect Is Invisible, Until It Isn't


Most website problems don’t announce themselves in advance. A plugin goes unpatched, a backup silently fails, a vulnerability sits unnoticed, and then one day the site is down, hacked, or simply gone. By then it’s an emergency, not a maintenance task. 

Solution fit:

We manage updates proactively, tested before they're applied.

We run and verify backups on a defined schedule.

We monitor for vulnerabilities and respond before they become incidents.

We become that owner, with a defined monthly scope.

We monitor uptime and respond immediately when something goes wrong.

We send a monthly report so you always know the current state of your site.

The Solution

Proactive Care, Not Reactive Firefighting

Monthly Care Plans and managed hosting that keep your site secure, fast, and running, with a monthly report so you always know the current state of your site. 

What a Care Plan Actually Prevents

  • Downtime from missed updates or expired certificates
  • Security breaches from unpatched vulnerabilities
  • Lost content or orders from a failed backup that was never tested
  • Slow performance drift from accumulated plugins and unused code
  • The scramble of finding a developer during an active emergency
  • Surprises, since you get a monthly report either way CASE STUDIES

WordPress Maintenance Services

Thorp Haval & GWM

When a dealership website gets hacked, the damage goes beyond the technical. Thousands of spam URLs, a Google manual penalty, and a brand customers couldn't find. We rebuilt it from the ground up - and what we delivered became the design standard for the entire Thorp Motor Group.

WordPress Maintenance Services FAQ

Our WordPress maintenance plans cover: plugin and theme updates with compatibility testing, WordPress core updates, security monitoring and malware scanning, automated daily backups with off-site storage, uptime monitoring with rapid response, database optimization, performance monitoring, and a monthly report. Clients on our managed hosting receive hosting management as part of a combined plan. 

We apply updates on a regular cycle - typically monthly for core updates, and more frequently for security-critical plugin updates where delay creates vulnerability exposure. All updates go through staging environment testing before being applied to your live site. We don’t apply updates blindly and we don’t apply them without testing. 

We catch most issues in staging before they reach your live site. If something does reach production, we identify and resolve it immediately - restoring from backup if necessary. This is why tested, working backups are a non-negotiable part of every maintenance plan. Emergency response is included. 

Yes. The security vulnerabilities that make unmaintained WordPress sites a target aren’t related to how often the site’s content changes - they’re related to the version of WordPress, themes, and plugins running on the server. A static brochure site running outdated plugins is just as vulnerable as a high-traffic eCommerce store. The risk is in the technology stack, not the content update frequency.

Our maintenance plans are billed monthly at a flat rate based on site complexity and the scope of services included. We’ll scope the right plan for your site after an initial review. For context: the monthly cost of a maintenance plan is typically a fraction of the cost of a single emergency incident response. 

Yes. We onboard existing WordPress sites onto maintenance plans regularly. The process starts with a site audit to assess the current state of the installation, identify any immediate security or performance issues, and establish a baseline. From there, ongoing maintenance follows the same process as for sites we built ourselves.
